Crowns are used for a variety of dental procedures. Some people even have multiple crowns.
Our dentists near you would be happy to tell you more about crowns and help you if you have any questions. Our dentists in Colonia, NJ can help you to know whether crowns are an indicated treatment for you. At Colonia Dental Associates, our dentists are experts with routine and cosmetic crown procedures.
Crowns, also known as “caps,” are replaced to protect existing teeth. They may be indicated for teeth that had large decay removed, or for teeth that don’t have enough tooth structure remaining to support a filling. Crowns may also be indicated to improve function or esthetics depending on the case.
Our dentists use life-life ceramic materials that give a natural appearance. A crown should look similar to your natural teeth. Our dentists work with experienced dental technicians to create a precise fit and an esthetic appearance.
The p of time a crown lasts depends upon patient care. Several factors may influence the longevity of a crown, including home care, diet, caries risk, and tooth grinding. Our dentists will review which factors may affect how long your crown(s) may last.
Crowns may be the right treatment choice for patients who have large cavities that cannot be addressed with a filling. Crowns may also be the ideal treatment for patients who have experienced fractures or a previous history of root canals, as those teeth require protection, or for cosmetic and functional concerns.
