Revitalizing Your Smile with Dental Crowns

At Crown Dentistry of the Palm Beaches, we understand that over time, teeth can weaken and become prone to decay, cracks, and discoloration. Crowns offer a solution to restore your smile's former glory. If Dr. Buchalter identifies decay or weakness in a tooth, a crown may be recommended to prevent further issues, where fillings or bonding might not suffice.

Customized Crowns for a Natural Appearance

Our crowns are crafted from materials like porcelain, porcelain fused to metal, or full gold, with porcelain crowns being a popular choice for their natural appearance. They are tailored to match the shade of your existing teeth, ensuring a seamless blend with your natural smile.

An Installation Process Defined by Precision and Comfort

The crown installation at our office typically involves two to four visits. The first step involves reshaping the affected tooth under local anesthesia for a comfortable experience. We then take a mold that we send to our dental lab to create your custom crown. We will fit you with a temporary crown in the meantime for your comfort and convenience.

Finalizing Your Crown for a Restored Smile

Once your custom crown is ready, typically within 2-3 weeks, we schedule a follow-up appointment for its fitting. The crown is securely cemented into place under local anesthesia, revitalizing your smile. Crowns are durable, lasting about 10-15 years, and require the same care as natural teeth.
