DENTAL CROWNS

At Sana Dental Studio + Spa, we understand the importance of having a healthy and beautiful smile. Dental crowns are one of the many services we offer to help our patients achieve just that. With expert care that keeps your comfort in mind, you can have stronger, healthier teeth with the support of dental crowns.

What are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are custom-made tooth-shaped caps that are placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance. They can be made from a variety of materials, but we prefer using porcelain. Porcelain dental crowns are the most natural appearing and can be matched to the color of your teeth for a seamless blend.

Our Dental Crown Procedure

Getting a dental crown typically involves two visits to our dental studio. During the first visit, we'll prepare the affected tooth by removing any decay or damage and shaping it to fit the crown. We'll then take impressions of your teeth to create a custom crown that fits perfectly. You'll leave our office with a temporary crown to protect your tooth until the permanent one is ready.

Once your permanent crown is ready, you'll come back for a second appointment. We'll remove the temporary crown and replace it with the permanent one, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit. We'll also check your bite to make sure everything feels and functions properly.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are versatile tools used in both cosmetic and restorative dentistry. Here are several of the best benefits they offer to enhance your smile:

• Improved appearance: Dental crowns can restore the natural shape, color, and symmetry of your teeth, enhancing your smile's overall appearance.
• Increased strength: Crowns can help strengthen weakened or damaged teeth, protecting them from further damage or decay.
• Enhanced functionality: With a crown, you can chew, bite, and speak with ease, without worrying about discomfort or pain.
• Long-lasting: With proper care and maintenance, dental crowns can last for many years, making them a worthwhile investment in your dental health.

When are Dental Crowns Recommended?

From smile makeovers to restoring decayed teeth back to health, dental crowns have plenty of practical uses in our studio to strengthen and enhance your teeth. Here are several cases where we may recommend receiving a crown:
