Address Tooth Concerns With Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, and function. Crowns are designed to look and feel like natural teeth, offering both protection and improved aesthetics while strengthening the underlying tooth.

Dental crowns can address a wide variety of tooth concerns all at once. These are some of the factors that help patients decide to use dental crowns:

Repair Damaged Teeth

Crowns are an effective solution for teeth that are cracked, worn, or severely decayed, restoring strength and function to the tooth.

Restore Functionality

Don’t be the last one eating at the dinner table. Dental crowns allow you to fully chew, drink, and articulate yourself easily. These crowns adjust to the configuration of your smile, helping them seep into the background of your life.

Protect Your Grin

Unresolved tooth damage tends to weaken your surrounding jawline. This makes it easier for teeth to become chipped or even knocked off completely. Fortify your smile with the added protection of dental crowns.

Preparing Your Dental Crown

At Bahr Dental, getting a dental crown is a smooth and comfortable experience designed to restore your tooth’s health and function with precision and care. Our advanced technology allows us to complete most crowns in just one visit, saving you time while ensuring exceptional results. Here’s what you can expect from start to finish.

Prepare Your Smile

Before placing your new crown, we begin by preparing your tooth to ensure a healthy, stable foundation. Any decay or damaged portions of the tooth are gently removed using our specialized laser technology, which allows for greater precision and comfort compared to traditional drills.

This approach helps preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible while eliminating bacteria and decay. If you feel nervous or sensitive about dental treatments, we offer dental sedation options to help you relax throughout the process. Our team’s goal is to keep you calm, comfortable, and confident during every step of your visit.

Prepare the Crown

Once your tooth is fully prepared, we’ll use our state-of-the-art 3D dental imaging system to take digital impressions of your mouth. This technology allows us to capture incredibly accurate measurements, without the mess or discomfort of traditional impression material.

Your new crown will then be crafted right here in our office using our in-house milling technology. This means there’s no need for temporary crowns or multiple appointments. 

Each crown is made from durable, natural-looking ceramic that’s color-matched to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth. The result is a restoration that not only functions beautifully but looks just like your natural tooth.

Finalize the Crown

Once your crown has been milled and polished, we’ll place it over your prepared tooth to ensure a precise, comfortable fit. Our dentist will make any necessary adjustments so your bite feels natural and balanced.

Once the crown has been properly fitted, it is permanently bonded to your tooth using a strong dental adhesive. You’ll be able to eat, speak, and smile comfortably right away. Most patients are surprised at how natural their new crown feels, it’s designed to look and function like it’s always been part of your smile.

Hear from Our Patients

Our patients’ experiences mean everything to us. Every smile we restore tells a story of renewed confidence, comfort, and care. From first-time visitors to longtime patients, we’re proud to share what people are saying about their dental crown treatments and their experiences at our office.

Experience High-Level Patient Care With Dental Sedation

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns

How do I know if I need a dental crown?

A dental crown may be recommended if your tooth is cracked, severely decayed, worn down, or weakened after a large filling or root canal. Crowns are also used to restore dental implants and improve the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth.

How long do dental crowns last?

With proper care, dental crowns can last 10–15 years or longer. Good oral hygiene, routine dental checkups, and avoiding habits like nail-biting or chewing ice can help extend the life of your crown.

Are dental crowns painful to get?

Not at all. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and many patients say it feels similar to getting a filling. For added comfort, we also offer sedation dentistry options to help you relax during treatment.

Will my crown look natural?

Yes, modern crowns are designed to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth. Using 3D digital imaging and high-quality ceramic materials, your dentist can customize the shape, color, and fit for a natural, lifelike result.

How should I care for my dental crown?

Caring for your crown is just like caring for your natural teeth. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and schedule routine cleanings. Avoid using your teeth to open packages or chew hard objects, as this can damage the crown.

What if my crown feels uncomfortable or too high?

If your new crown feels uneven or causes discomfort when you bite, contact our office right away. A quick adjustment can correct the issue and restore a comfortable fit.

Can a crown fix cosmetic issues, or is it only for damaged teeth?

Crowns are not only restorative, they can also be used for cosmetic improvements. If a tooth is misshapen, discolored, or uneven, a custom crown can enhance its appearance while strengthening its structure.
