What Are Dental Crowns?
At Kondas Dental Group, your dentist in Huber Heights, Ohio, we use dental crowns to restore both the health and appearance of teeth that have been compromised. A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth, bringing back its shape, size, and function. Crowns can also be paired with dental implants to replace missing teeth, offering a reliable and natural-looking solution.
Dr. Kondas and our team often recommend crowns for teeth that are cracked, worn, discolored, or misshapen. With their durability and precision fit, our crowns are designed to provide long-lasting protection and enhance your smile’s appearance.
What to Expect from a Dental Crown Appointment
Step 1
Dr. Kondas begins by evaluating your tooth, discussing your smile goals, and helping you choose the best crown material for your needs. This personalized approach ensures the right solution for both function and aesthetics.
Step 2
To ensure a perfect fit, Dr. Kondas carefully shapes the affected tooth, creating space for the crown. If any decay or damage is present, it will be removed during this step to provide a healthy foundation. Once the tooth is prepared, we take detailed impressions to craft a custom crown that blends seamlessly with your natural smile.
Step 03
While your permanent crown is being made, a temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth and maintain comfort during the waiting period.
Step 04
Once your custom crown is ready, it is securely bonded to your tooth. Dr. Kondas will make any necessary adjustments to ensure it fits comfortably and functions properly.
