Dental Crown Services
Dental crowns are bonded to a tooth in order to help restore oral health and to improve the appearance of your smile.
At Woodland Family Dental we often recommend a dental crown to patients whose teeth don’t have enough healthy enamel to support a filling, or to top off a dental implant.
Same-Day Dental Crown Services
At Woodland Family Dental we offer same-day dental crowns with advanced CEREC technology. Our lab quality restorations are made right here at our practice, so you don’t have to spend two weeks waiting for a new dental crown or dental bridge to be shipped in from an off-site facility.
What Is A Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” made of porcelain, that is placed over a tooth to help restore its shape, strength and size. A dental crown can be the right choice to recreate the appearance and function of a tooth damaged by decay or trauma.
The crown replaces the external portion of the tooth down the the gums in order to help preserve the appearance of the patient’s smile. Our Post Falls dental team may recommend a crown to:
- Cover a dental implant
- Restore a broken or worn tooth
- Protect a tooth, weakened from decay, from breaking
- Hold a dental bridge in place
- Cover a misshapen or discolored tooth
- Support a tooth with a large filling
- Reinforce a tooth treated using root canal therapy
Is A Dental Crown The Right Choice For Me?
Most people are ideal candidates for a crown. This dental procedure can improve the appearance of a damaged tooth while also restoring the tooth’s natural function. After a crown is placed, most patients are able to enjoy chewing without pain and to smile with confidence.
How Long Will A Crown Last?
Most crowns last between 5 and 15 years. It depends on the wear and tear the dental crown is exposed to and if a patient takes care of the crown with regular brushing and flossing. A crown should be treated just like your natural teeth, so regular cleanings and checkups with our doctors are important!
