Crowns

Dental Crowns in One Visit

When decay in a tooth has become so advanced that large portions of the tooth break off or need to be removed a crown is often used to restore the tooth. The crown replaces the natural tooth structure that was removed, protecting and providing function again. At Family Dental Care, the majority of crowns that we perform are completed from start to finish in one appointment rather than the regular two appointment crown procedure.

One-Visit Cad/Cam Dentistry

Using CAD/CAM, (Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing) ceramic crowns are prepped, designed, custom-stained and glazed, and seated in one appointment. We also use the CAD/CAM system for digital impressions to send for Full Gold and Full Zirconia Crowns, which are typically used by people who have a strong bite or suffer from clenching and grinding.

Caring For Your Crowns

After the crown is seated, you will be given home care instructions and encouraged to have regular six-month dental visits. It is essential to floss in the area of the crown to avoid excess plaque or collection of debris around the restoration just as you would for any other tooth. Specific behaviors such as jaw clenching or teeth grinding will shorten the life of a crown.

Contact

Everyone is professional, friendly, and competent in what they do. The dentist is experienced and keeps up with new methods and equipment. The office manager is able to answer any questions about your insurance or method of payment. If she doesn't have an immediate answer, she will contact the company while you wait or get back to you in a short time. The hygienists are experienced and thorough in delivery of their special services.
