DENTAL CROWNS
Are you looking to restore your damaged tooth to its former glory? Do you want to enhance the appearance of your smile and regain your confidence? Look no further than dental crowns – the ultimate solution for restoring and improving both the functionality and aesthetics of your teeth. At Imaging Dentistry by Dr. Vahan Grigoryan, we understand the importance of versatile restorations like dental crowns, which serve a vital role in restorative and cosmetic dentistry.
Types of Dental Crowns
We offer various crown materials to cater to your individual needs and preferences:
All-Metal Crowns
These crowns are made from strong and durable metals such as gold or stainless steel. They are an excellent choice for back teeth due to their strength and longevity.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns:
PFM crowns combine the strength of metal with the natural appearance of porcelain. They provide both durability and cosmetic appeal.
All-Ceramic Crowns
These crowns are crafted entirely from high-quality ceramic materials, providing exceptional aesthetics while closely matching the appearance of natural teeth. All-ceramic crowns are an excellent choice for front teeth.
Why Do You Need Dental Crowns?
1. Extensive Decay: When a tooth has severe decay that cannot be adequately restored using a filling, a dental crown provides the necessary protection and strength.
​
2. Cracked or Fractured Teeth: Teeth that have experienced significant cracks or fractures require the added support and reinforcement that a dental crown provides.
​
3. Root Canal Treatment: After undergoing root canal therapy, a tooth may become weakened and more susceptible to fractures. Placing a dental crown over the treated tooth helps preserve its structural integrity.
​
4. Cosmetic Enhancement: Dental crowns can also be used for cosmetic purposes, improving the appearance of misshapen, discolored, or severely stained teeth.
Our Dental Crown Process
01.
Initial Consultation
Our experienced dentists will carefully examine your teeth, discuss your concerns and goals, and determine if dental crowns are the appropriate treatment for you.
03.
Impressions
Precise impressions of the prepared tooth are taken to create a custom-fitted crown that perfectly matches your natural teeth in shape, size, and color.
05.
Permanent Crown Placement
02.
Tooth Preparation
The affected tooth is prepared by removing any decay or weakened structure. This ensures a solid foundation for the crown.
04.
Temporary Crown
While your permanent crown is being crafted, a temporary crown is placed to protect the prepared tooth.
Once your custom crown is ready, it is securely bonded onto the prepared tooth, restoring its functionality and enhancing its appearance.
