What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns in Santa Ana are custom-created caps that fit over the visible portion of your tooth. They’re designed specifically to provide your damaged, weakened, or decayed tooth with support, restoring its strength and size. At OC Dental Studio, we craft our crowns from high-quality materials that look natural and last a long time. That way, you won’t have to worry about getting a new one every few years.
The process typically takes place over two appointments to our office. When you first visit us, Dr. Comfort will assess the damage of your tooth and whether it needs a crown. To compensate for the thickness of the restoration, she’ll remove a small portion of your damaged tooth and take impressions of it. After about two weeks, our dental laboratory will send us your permanent, custom-made crown crafted to Dr. Comfort’s specifications. She’ll then call you in for your final appointment, where she’ll permanently cement it to your tooth for added strength and protection.
What Are The Benefits of Crowns?
Our restorations are made from durable, high-quality materials like ceramic and porcelain. They can last up to 15 years with the proper care and offer patients a variety of benefits, including:
- Easy maintenance
- Protection from harmful oral bacteria
- Strength for better chewing
- Improving the appearance of damaged teeth
- Concealing severe discoloration
- Restoring the function of cracked and decayed teeth
- Replacing silver crowns with a more natural-looking alternative
