A dental crown is a reliable, long-term solution for restoring your oral health and confidence.
At Dental Arts of Florida, we offer a variety of dental crown materials tailored to meet different functional and aesthetic needs. Each crown type is designed to restore strength, improve appearance, and enhance durability, ensuring the best solution for your smile.
Metal crowns, made from gold, platinum, or base metal alloys, are known for their exceptional strength and longevity. They can withstand heavy chewing forces, making them ideal for molars and back teeth. They are not the most aesthetically pleasing; their durability and resistance to wear make them a practical choice.
Porcelain crowns offer a natural, tooth-like appearance, making them an excellent option for front teeth. These crowns are stain-resistant, blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth, and provide a lifelike translucency that closely mimics natural enamel.
A cost-effective alternative, composite resin crowns are color-matched to blend with natural teeth. While they provide a pleasing aesthetic, they are less durable than other materials and may require more frequent replacements over time. These crowns are often used for short-term solutions or temporary restorations.
Ceramic crowns combine durability and aesthetics, making them an excellent choice for both front and back teeth. As a metal-free option, they are perfect for patients with metal allergies. These crowns offer a strong structure, natural color, and a smooth finish, making them a popular choice for those seeking both function and beauty.
For cases requiring both durability and a natural look, porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns are an excellent option. They provide the strength of metal with the aesthetic appeal of porcelain, making them suitable for a wide range of functional and cosmetic needs.
At Dental Arts of Florida, we assess each patient’s oral health, cosmetic goals, and functional requirements to recommend the best crown material for long-lasting results.
At Dental Arts of Florida, we ensure a comfortable, efficient, and precise dental crown procedure. Our process is designed to deliver seamless restorations that enhance both function and aesthetics.
Your treatment begins with a detailed consultation and evaluation. We use advanced digital X-rays and imaging to assess the condition of your tooth and determine whether a dental crown is the best option. We also discuss crown materials to find the one that fits your needs and preferences.
Before placing the crown, we carefully reshape the affected tooth, removing any decay or damage. This step ensures the crown will fit securely while maintaining optimal function and comfort.
A digital or traditional impression is taken to create a perfectly fitting custom crown. These impressions ensure your crown aligns accurately with your bite and matches your natural tooth shape.
While your permanent crown is being fabricated, we place a temporary crown over the prepared tooth. This protects the tooth and allows you to function normally while awaiting your final restoration.
Once your custom dental crown is ready, we carefully fit and bond it to your tooth using strong dental cement. We make necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect bite and natural feel, allowing for optimal function and aesthetics.
At Dental Arts of Florida, we prioritize precision, durability, and patient comfort, ensuring that every dental crown enhances both function and beauty.
