Dental crowns are one of the most common procedures we perform at our Palo Alto office. Dental crowns serve both functional and cosmetic purposes. Strong and durable, they help restore and protect your damaged teeth.
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a protective cap that covers a chipped, cracked, or broken tooth. A crown helps to strengthen your existing tooth structure and protects it from further structural damage. They are beautiful restorative devices that perfectly match the color of your existing smile. They can be used to solve the following dental problems:
- Tooth infections
- Injury (broken or chipped teeth)
- Tooth discoloration
- Structurally compromised teeth
Is a Dental Crown Right for Me?
The only way to determine if a crown is right for you is by scheduling a consultation with Dr. Lindsey. When you come in for your consultation, we will review your dental history before offering treatment.
We will outline your options and recommend the one that we think will benefit you the most. In many circumstances, a crown is an ideal option because it allows the restoration of your damaged tooth instead of having it extracted.
Is the Dental Crown Procedure Painful?
We strive to make our procedures as pain-free as possible. During your dental crown procedure we will numb your mouth so that you have no pain during the procedure.
If you have any concerns about pain, please talk to us during your consultation. We want to make your experience as pleasant as possible, and we will go out of our way to make sure that your needs are met. Pain is a “NO GO” in our office.
What Are the Benefits of a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns are fantastic at giving patients their smiles back. They are versatile little devices that can provide the following benefits:
- A dental crown allows you to keep your existing tooth
- Dental crowns enable you to chew without discomfort
- Dental crowns blend in with your natural teeth because of their all porcelain material.
- With proper care, crowns can last for many years
To discuss the particulars of your situation, make sure to set up an appointment with our office. We will help answer any questions you have about the benefits you can expect by choosing a dental crown.
