What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are caps made from durable materials placed over damaged or broken teeth. These crowns encompass the entire tooth, strengthening its structure and improving functionality while enhancing your smile's aesthetic appeal. Dental crowns are versatile treatment options and can be placed anywhere within your mouth, from beautiful front teeth to sturdy back molars.
We always prioritize the preservation of your natural tooth structure. However, in cases where restoration is not possible, we provide extraction and dental implant services as part of our treatment options. Implant-supported crowns can restore your smile while supporting the health of your jawbone. Our dentist will collaborate with you to determine the most suitable approach based on your needs.
Our Honolulu Tooth Crown Process
Getting a crown is usually a very straightforward process with three distinct phases. We have streamlined this process to make it as comfortable and convenient as possible for our patients. The process generally follows these three steps:
- Oral Examination: Our dentist conducts a comprehensive oral examination during your initial consultation. This involves thoroughly assessing the problem tooth, adjacent teeth, and gum tissue using advanced diagnostic tools. This examination allows us to determine if a dental crown is an appropriate solution for your issue.
- Cleaning, Repair & Temporary Crown: If your natural tooth can be repaired, we carefully clean and prepare it for a temporary crown. Precise impressions of the affected tooth are taken and sent to a trusted dental laboratory, which uses them to create a lifelike restoration.
- Permanent Dental Crown Placement: Once the dental lab sends us your custom crown, you'll return for the placement appointment. We'll prepare your tooth for the permanent crown and bond your crown to the tooth. Depending on the case, we use specially designed dental cement and other materials to maximize durability and longevity.
Caring Emergency Crown Services
Whether you need a crown because of root canal therapy or a painful broken tooth, we understand these situations can be distressing. We dedicate ourselves to getting you out of pain and easing your stress during these difficult situations. We strive to accommodate same-day appointments whenever feasible and want you to return to a comfortable, healthy smile as quickly as possible. If we determine you require advanced care for complex needs, especially in the case of root canal treatments, we'll help you manage pain and refer you to a trusted endodontist who can help you.
