Dental Crowns Have Many Uses
Dental crowns are caps that are placed over individual teeth to mask structural imperfections or reinforce a damaged tooth. Dental crowns differ from veneers, fillings, inlays, and onlays because they encase the entire tooth, rather than just a portion of it. At our dentistry practice, we use crowns to address:
Large Fillings or Cavities
Patients at our practice with particularly large fillings may have crowns placed over their teeth to support the filling and tooth. This can restore chewing ability and overall dental function.
Chips, Cracks, and Wear
Patients whose teeth have been cracked, chipped, or severely worn down can opt for dental crowns to restore strength and shape to the tooth.
Root Canal Infection
The nerves, blood vessels, and other soft tissues in the central canals of the tooth can become infected due to cavities or injury. Crowns are commonly placed after root canal therapy to lend strength and support to the tooth.
Securing Dental Bridges
Crowns can also be used to hold a traditional dental bridge in place. A bridge can replace one to three teeth in a row, and they are secured in place with two crowns that are placed on the teeth adjacent to the gap.
Replace Missing Teeth
Dental implants can be placed in the jawbone to replace missing teeth. With crowns, a single implant is placed in the jaw. After the dental implant has integrated with the surrounding tissues, a crown can be attached to the implant.
"I’ve been a patient of Dr. Malki for over ten years now, and have recommended many people to his practice over the years and they have all also had a wonderful experience with him and his staff. I’ve gotten everything done from Invisalign, crowns, fillings, and cleanings and he is one of the only dentists that I have been to who hasn’t recommended unnecessary work… I had been petrified of the dentist from when I was a kid, and Dr. Malki is the only dentist I can say I am not scared of, and even enjoy going to. His staff is all super friendly, and the technicians on his team are very gentle with their cleanings." — Allison, 5-Star Review
“Friendly, professional staff, and a clean office. Minimal wait time and excellent care. the doctor was thorough, gentle, and took the time to explain everything clearly.” — Grace, 5-Star Review
How Are Dental Crowns Placed?
Our dentist uses advanced CEREC technology so he can fit, craft, and place crowns in one office visit, as opposed to two separate appointments.
Examination
First, Dr. Malki examines the affected tooth to make sure it is well-suited for a dental crown. This may involve digital X-rays to evaluate the health of the tooth root and surrounding bone.
Tooth Preparation
Dr. Malki then preps the tooth that is receiving the crown by removing any signs of decay or infection. In addition, a small amount of enamel is removed to make room for the crown.
Digital Impressions
We take digital photos of the area to obtain a comprehensive view of the surrounding teeth and jaw alignment. This information helps Dr. Malki create a permanent crown that fits seamlessly into the patient’s mouth.
Design
Dr. Malki uses these photos, along with CEREC software, to design a custom dental crown made out of porcelain.
Fabrication
It typically takes about 15 minutes for the CEREC machine to mill the crown out of a solid block of porcelain. This helps us avoid the need for a temporary crown while patients wait for a lab-made restoration. However, if you are receiving a gold or metal crown, we can supply a fully functional temporary crown while the lab creates your permanent crown.
Placement
Once the crown has been crafted, Dr. Malki bonds the crown to the patient’s tooth using durable dental cement.
