Dental Crowns
When a tooth is damaged, worn down, or weakened, a dental crown can restore its strength, function, and appearance. At Pelican Dental, we provide high-quality dental crowns made from durable and aesthetic materials, including e.max and zirconia, to give you a long-lasting, natural-looking smile.
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that completely covers a damaged or weakened tooth. Crowns restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance, making them a versatile solution for many dental concerns.
When Do You Need a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns may be recommended for:
- Severely Decayed Teeth: When a tooth is too damaged for a simple filling.
- Cracked or Broken Teeth: To restore strength and prevent further damage.
- Root Canal Treatment: Crowns protect teeth after root canal therapy.
- Worn or Misshaped Teeth: Improve both appearance and function.
- Cosmetic Enhancement: To improve the size, shape, or color of a tooth for a more uniform smile.
Our High-Quality Crown Options
At our practice, we proudly use advanced crown materials that combine both strength and beauty. Two of the most popular options we offer are e.max and zirconia crowns, each with unique advantages depending on your needs.
E.max Crowns
E.max crowns are crafted from lithium disilicate ceramic, a material known for its exceptional aesthetics. Because they are highly translucent, they closely mimic the natural enamel of your teeth, making them an ideal choice for restoring front teeth where a lifelike, natural appearance is essential.
Zirconia Crowns
Zirconia crowns, on the other hand, are valued for their incredible strength and durability. They are especially well-suited for back teeth and areas that withstand heavier biting forces. Zirconia is also resistant to chipping and wear, while still being able to be color-matched for a seamless, natural look.
Both e.max and zirconia crowns are metal-free, providing a more natural look and reducing the risk of allergic reactions or sensitivity.
The Crown Procedure
- Consultation and Evaluation: We examine your tooth and discuss your restoration options.
- Tooth Preparation: The damaged tooth is shaped to allow space for the crown.
- Digital Impressions: Using advanced scanning technology, we create precise impressions of your teeth.
- Temporary Crown: A temporary crown protects your tooth while your permanent crown is being crafted.
- Final Placement: Once your custom crown is ready, we bond it securely to your tooth for a beautiful, lasting result.
