Why Should I Get Dental Crowns?
Choosing dental crowns can significantly enhance your oral health and your smile, too. One of the primary reasons to consider dental crowns is their ability to protect and strengthen weakened teeth. If you have a tooth that is cracked or severely decayed, a crown can prevent further damage and restore its function.
Dental crowns can also dramatically improve the appearance of your smile by covering discolored or misshapen teeth, providing a uniform look. They are also an excellent choice for supporting dental bridges or covering dental implants. With the expert care from Sage Family Dentistry, you can expect a comfortable fit and a natural appearance, giving you the confidence to smile freely.

The Benefits Of Dental Crowns
Restoration and Protection
Dental crowns offer excellent protection for damaged teeth, preventing further decay or fractures. They restore the tooth's shape and function, allowing you to chew and speak comfortably. By encasing the entire tooth, crowns provide a strong barrier against bacteria and physical damage.
Aesthetic Enhancement
With dental crowns, you can achieve a seamless and natural-looking smile. Crowns are custom-made to match the color and contour of your surrounding teeth, ensuring a harmonious appearance. This makes them an ideal choice for improving the look of discolored or misshapen teeth.
Durability and Longevity
Constructed from high-quality materials like porcelain or ceramic, dental crowns are designed to withstand the daily wear and tear of biting and chewing. When properly cared for, they can last for many years, making them a cost-effective solution for long-term dental health.
The Dental Crowns Treatment Process
Initial Consultation and Examination
Initial Consultation and Examination
The process begins with a thorough examination by Dr. Sam Sage at Sage Family Dentistry. During this consultation, your dental health will be assessed to determine if a crown is the right solution for you. Dr. Sage will discuss your treatment goals, expectations, and any concerns you might have. X-rays may be taken to evaluate the extent of damage and plan the best approach for your dental crown.
Tooth Preparation and Impression
Tooth Preparation and Impression
If Dr. Sage decides that a dental crown is right for you, the next step involves preparing the tooth. This involves reshaping the tooth to accommodate the crown. After the tooth is prepared, an impression is taken to create a precise mold. This mold is sent to a dental laboratory where your custom crown is crafted. In the meantime, a temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth.
Crown Fitting and Placement
Crown Fitting and Placement
When your custom crown is ready, you will return to Sage Family Dentistry for the final fitting. Dr. Sage will ensure that the crown fits perfectly and matches the color of your surrounding teeth. Once you are satisfied with the fit and appearance, the crown is permanently cemented into place. This final step restores the tooth's functionality and completes the transformation of your smile.
