Dental Crowns

Even with a rigorous oral health regimen your teeth can still break down; in most cases this comes down to nature. Dental crowns provide structural support for damaged teeth. They're good solutions for teeth with fractures (caused by trauma) and structural loss (cavities).

You're likely a candidate for a crown restoration if:

You've lost substantial tooth structure because of cavities
You grind and clench your teeth
You've had a root canal and need to protect the brittle tooth
The functional and aesthetic contours of your teeth need to be restored
You need to close the gaps between your teeth

The Procedure - Dental Crown Placement

Dental crowns typically involve several appointments.

As with any dental procedure, you'll undergo an initial examination and discuss a treatment plan with Dr. Pasha
During the second appointment you'll return for the preparation of the tooth and placement of temporary crown
At your third appointment your crown will be cemented into place. You may need to return for a fourth visit after a few weeks for adjustments

If you have a chipped or broken tooth, talk to Dr. Pasha Nasirzadeh about your options.
