If a tooth needs its shape, size, and strength restored, a dental crown may be needed. A dental crown is a tooth-shaped dental restoration that will cover the entire visible portion of a tooth. Drs. Albrecht, Richards, and Albrecht may suggest a dental crown in Mentor, Ohio, for:
– A tooth that has had a large dental filling or multiple dental fillings placed
– A weak tooth that is in danger of breaking
– A broken or cracked tooth
– A tooth with a dental implant
– A misshaped or badly stained tooth
– A tooth that has undergone root canal therapy
Our dentistss will first shape the tooth to allow room for a dental crown when you come in to have a crown placed. Then impressions will be taken of the tooth and the surrounding teeth so that your crown can be custom made. Our dentistss will check the fit and color when your crown is ready. After any needed adjustments have been made, the dental crown will be cemented securely into place.
Dental crowns can last for many years if they are well cared for. Despite this, they can become loose or fall out. To help your dental crown last for years to come, practice good oral hygiene. Brush your teeth twice every day and floss once daily. Also, come to Albrecht Family Dentistry at least twice a year for your routine cleanings and exams.
