A damaged or weakened tooth doesn’t mean the end of your smile! At Stamford Green Dental, we offer high-quality dental crowns to restore strength, function, and aesthetics to compromised teeth. Whether you have a cracked, decayed, or weakened tooth, our custom-made crowns provide a long-lasting solution that blends naturally with your smile.
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its strength, size, shape, and appearance. Crowns are commonly used to:
✅ Protect a weak or fractured tooth from further damage
✅ Restore a severely decayed tooth when a filling isn’t enough
✅ Cover a tooth after a root canal for added durability
✅ Support a dental bridge or dental implant
✅ Improve the appearance of a discolored or misshapen tooth
🔹 Porcelain Crowns – Highly aesthetic, natural-looking, and durable—ideal for front teeth.
🔹 Ceramic Crowns – Tooth-colored and stain-resistant, providing excellent durability and beauty.
🔹 Zirconia Crowns – Ultra-strong and resistant to wear, offering a great balance of strength and aesthetics.
🔹 Metal Crowns – Extremely durable and long-lasting, best suited for back molars.
🔹 Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns – A combination of strength and aesthetics, with a metal base for durability.
Our dentists will help you choose the best crown material based on your dental needs, budget, and cosmetic preferences.
Getting a crown typically requires two visits and follows these steps:
1️⃣ Examination & Preparation – The tooth is examined, and if necessary, any decay or damage is removed.
2️⃣ Tooth Reshaping – A small amount of enamel is removed to make space for the crown.
3️⃣ Digital Impressions – We take precise impressions to create a custom-fit crown.
4️⃣ Temporary Crown Placement – A temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth while the permanent one is being crafted.
5️⃣ Final Crown Placement – On your second visit, the custom crown is securely bonded to your tooth for a perfect fit and natural look.
