Dental Arts of Frederick can restore damaged teeth with dental crowns. What are Dental Crowns?Tooth damage needs to be addressed as quickly as possible. Even minor damage can worsen over time if it goes ignored. More significant damage to your teeth, such as chips, cracks, or decay, can compromise their structural integrity and put your oral health at risk. A dental crown is a treatment designed to restore a damaged tooth. The restoration encompasses the entire visible surface of the tooth, preventing further damage and infection while also allowing the tooth to function normally.

Why Get a Dental Crown?Dental crowns provide several benefits.
Restoring Your Damaged ToothRestoring your damaged tooth requires two separate appointments. At your first appointment, we prepare the tooth and take impressions. Preparing the tooth involves removing a portion of the enamel from the damaged tooth, reducing it in size. This process is done under a local anesthetic, which ensures that you do not feel any discomfort during the procedure. After preparing the tooth, we take impressions of your mouth. These impressions are used to design and create your custom crown. A temporary crown is placed to protect your prepared tooth while you wait for your final crown to be completed. Once it has been sent back, we check the final restoration for fit and bite and secure it into place with dental cement.
