Our comprehensive range of dental services includes dental crowns, designed to restore the strength, functionality, and aesthetics of your teeth. Read on to discover how dental crowns in Syracuse can rejuvenate your smile
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns, also known as caps, are custom-made restorations that encase the entire visible portion of a damaged or decayed tooth. Crafted from high-quality materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys, dental crowns are designed to mimic the natural appearance and function of your teeth.
When Are Dental Crowns Recommended?
Dental crowns are a versatile solution for a variety of dental concerns, including:
- Severe Tooth Decay: When a tooth is extensively decayed or weakened, a dental crown can restore its strength and prevent further damage.
- Broken or Fractured Teeth: Whether due to injury, trauma, or biting on hard objects, dental crowns can rebuild and protect fractured teeth, restoring both form and function.
- Root Canal Therapy: Following root canal treatment, a dental crown is often placed over the treated tooth to provide reinforcement and protection against fracture.
- Cosmetic Enhancement: Dental crowns can also be used for cosmetic purposes, such as correcting tooth discoloration, reshaping misshapen teeth, or improving the appearance of a smile.
What is a "same-day" crown?
It’s more comfortable, patient friendly and time friendly. Technological advances allow us to be more conservative. Restorations that used to be done in 2 visits can now be done in one with the Cerec CAD-Cam.
We at Smiles by design have invested in this technology – the best technology the industry has to offer – to bring our patients a higher quality of care.
CEREC restorations are made out of a block of pressed ceramic. They are a superior means of restoring a tooth. This material is the closest to natural human enamel available in the world today. Because of this it allows us to restore your tooth as closely as possible to its original form.
What Are the Benefits?
- It has the same thermo co-efficient of expansion as human enamel. Which means it does not expand and contract like mercury fillings or composite fillings. It is this expansion and contraction that aids in cracking the tooth.
- It has the same particle size as enamel uniformly through the restoration. This means it has the same wear and hardness as human enamel and it won’t wear the opposing enamel (teeth) like porcelain (which is a hard glass type material) does.
- CEREC’s refractive index (the way light passes through the material) is the same as human enamel. It blends well with the surrounding enamel and looks very natural.
- The one visit advantage. No need for a 2nd visit, 2nd anesthesia injection, no temporary crown to worry about. You leave with your permanent crown in place.
