Restore & Strengthen Your Smile With Crowns
Is your tooth in need of some restoration? It’s common for teeth to become worn, cracked, or misshapen, but a simple crown can restore their appearance and function. At Sage Dental, we’ll professionally cover your existing tooth with a durable, cavity-resistant outer surface that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Crowns are ideal for teeth that:
- Have been weakened by tooth decay
- Cannot hold a filling
- Have undergone a root canal procedure
You don’t have to live compensating for a tooth that’s not quite right. The team at Sage Dental will help restore your best bite, jaw, and smile function.
Why Are Dental Crowns Needed?
Crowns offer a variety of benefits and can be placed on nearly any tooth in the mouth. Here are some common reasons why you might need a crown:
- A tooth has broken or cracked
- A tooth has a large filling in it
- You’ve recently had a root canal
- You have severe sensitivity issues
- You have an older crown that needs replacement
Who is a Good Candidate for Dental Crowns?
Through a thorough examination, we can assess whether a dental crown is right for you. Crowns are custom-made for each patient, ensuring a natural and realistic appearance. We also offer same-day CEREC crowns, which are created and placed in our office during your visit, eliminating the need for a follow-up appointment for the permanent restoration.
What Happens During the Dental Crown Procedure?
We start the process by administering a local anesthetic to numb the area. We then file down the tooth completely to make room for the new crown. For ceramic and porcelain crowns, we’ll take impressions and use these to craft a new crown. For same-day CEREC crowns, a digital impression is taken and put into our CEREC machine to make the crown for you while you wait. The permanent crown is then placed and filed down to improve its fit and feel.
