Crowns

Dental crowns are essential in general and cosmetic dentistry. They are used to protect teeth from damage, and to change the overall appearance. A dental crown is often used after a patient receives root canal therapy, as it can be bonded over the top of the tooth to keep it from breaking, chipping, or cracking. Crowns can also be fabricated for use over dental implants to restore missing teeth. Dental crowns are made of porcelain, and are shaped to bond over teeth that need to be addressed.

The process of receiving a dental crown begins with the dentist preparing the tooth by reducing its size and shaping it so that the new crown will fit firmly and comfortably. Next, an impression is taken of the prepared tooth. The impression, correct shade, and other instructions are sent to our dental lab, where the E4D dental system will create the crown to exacting standards. The crown will match the color and shape of the patient’s existing teeth. The dentist will permanently cement this crown over the prepared tooth, making sure that it feels comfortable and natural. This is all done in one appointment with Dr. Löberg’s same day restorations.

Most importantly, the tooth will be restored to full functionality. With daily oral hygiene, the new crown will look great and function properly for many years to come. Many patients enjoy dental crowns for ten years or longer with proper care. They are treated just like a natural tooth, with daily brushing and flossing, and they can be professionally cleaned by the dental staff. Dr. Löberg will give patients instructions regarding the care of their dental crown, and can answer any questions they may have about this restoration.

Dr. Löberg and his team provide dental crowns to patients who need them. Call Löberg Professional Dental Corporation today to schedule an appointment and start the process of preparation for the placement of a dental crown.
