Dental Crowns and Caps in Loxley

As everyone knows, the appearance and health of your smile can affect your self-image, confidence, and overall well-being.

Today, thanks to advances in dentistry, it’s possible to transform even the most challenging smiles into ones that look beautiful, vibrant, and bright. Whether you have a minor flaw in a single tooth or multiple teeth with significant imperfections, your dentist offers solutions to create aesthetically pleasing, healthy, and long-lasting results.

When a filling just won’t do

If dental decay, cracked fillings, root canals, clenching, or grinding the teeth have caused extensive damage to the underlying tooth structure, a dental filling may not be a sufficient restoration. The only way to completely restore this tooth's cosmetic appearance and function is often full coverage with a dental crown. The good news is that a completed dental crown looks and feels like a natural tooth.

In addition to restoring a single natural tooth, crowns can be used in other situations, including being the supporting ends of dental bridges, covering dental implants, or as coverage for a cracked tooth to prevent further breakdown. A crown may also be indicated when a discolored or stained tooth needs to be restored to its natural appearance. Crowns can be made of either porcelain baked onto a metal substrate, all-porcelain, or many of the new ceramic materials that have been developed.

Restoring the look, function, and health of your smile

Whatever the reason for a crown, the purpose is the same—to rebuild the look, feel, and function of the tooth while protecting any natural tooth structure that remains.

If you have a tooth that is broken, cracked, chipped, discolored, misshapen, or weakened by advanced tooth decay, there’s no need to despair. Our office can restore your tooth with a crown that looks naturally beautiful and blends seamlessly with your smile.

Lifelike, naturally beautiful, and long-lasting results

With the range of dental materials available today, dental crowns can restore a tooth with the most lifelike, naturally beautiful, and long-lasting results.

You can rely on us to recommend a restoration that suits your smile and fulfills your expectation of care.
