At Flossy Dentistry & Hygiene Clinic, dental crowns are part of our reconstructive approach to restoring teeth that are weakened, damaged, or heavily restored. A dental crown is a custom-made restoration designed to cover and protect a tooth while supporting its function and appearance. Our focus is always on creating results that feel natural, fit comfortably, and support your long-term oral health.
When a Dental Crown May Be Recommended
A dental crown may be suggested in situations such as:
- A tooth that is cracked or structurally weakened
- Extensive decay that cannot be restored with a filling alone
- Worn or fractured teeth due to grinding or clenching
- Teeth requiring protection after large or repeated restorations
Your dentist will carefully assess your oral health and discuss whether a crown is an appropriate option for your needs.
The Dental Crown Process
At Flossy Dentistry & Hygiene Clinic, we take a thoughtful, step-by-step approach to ensure comfort and precision throughout your treatment. The process of receiving a dental crown is typically as follows:
- Assessment & Planning. Your visit begins with a comprehensive evaluation, including digital imaging when needed, to understand the condition of the tooth and surrounding structures.
- Tooth Preparation. The tooth is gently prepared to allow space for the crown while preserving as much natural structure as possible.
- Digital Impressions. We use advanced intraoral scanning technology to capture precise digital impressions—avoiding traditional molds in most cases.
- Custom Fabrication. Your crown is custom-designed to match the shape, size, and shade of your natural teeth for a seamless appearance.
- Final Crown Placement. Once ready, the crown is carefully fitted, adjusted, and bonded to ensure comfort, function, and a natural bite.
Types of Dental Crowns
We offer different crown materials depending on clinical needs and aesthetic goals, including:
- Tooth-colored ceramic crowns for a natural appearance
- Porcelain-fused options for durability and esthetics
- Full-coverage restorative crowns designed for strength in back teeth
Your dentist will recommend the most appropriate material based on your bite, tooth location, and long-term oral health considerations.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
Dental crowns may help:
- Restore chewing and biting function
- Protect weakened or damaged teeth
- Improve the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth
