Dental Crowns
Dental Crowns can be the best option for restoring your damaged or decayed teeth. We offer great-looking crowns that can enhance the look and function of your smile.
Crowns are natural-looking caps placed over badly-decayed or damaged teeth. Crowns help to improve the overall condition of those teeth, enhancing their appearance while helping to prevent any further damage or decay that could possibly threaten the teeth's survival. Our crowns are designed to match your existing teeth without harming your comfort or your ability to perform normal oral function.
A crown may be the best opportunity you have to save a damaged tooth. We install dental crowns quickly to eliminate the possibility of further damage or decay. Damaged teeth have greater exposure to bacteria and foreign debris, and are more susceptible to infection.
Infection can lead to swelling and increase the chances of oral disease development, and crowns can help to shield your teeth from this possibility.
Our crown services are professional, thorough and precise, and we do everything we can to ensure your crown placement will provide you with years of protection.
We also include quality porcelain crowns in our crown treatments. Porcelain crowns are extremely durable and aesthetically-pleasing, and can lead to drastic improvements in oral function and the appearance your smile. Porcelain crowns are very resistant to the effects of general wear, staining and discoloration. We recommend procelain crowns to anyone seeking a more durable and longer-lasting tooth replacement/improvement.
Restoring your teeth to a healthy state is crucial to the maintenance of your oral health. Our porcelain crowns will restore your smile and provide you the opportunity for safely, easily and affordably save your damaged teeth.
Our crown services provide long-lasting protection, security and beauty for your teeth. We offer quality crown treatments delivered by friendly and honest dental professionals. Call us today at to find out more.
Dr. Macko and her staff have been WONDERFUL
One of the best sets of professionals I have had the pleasure to deal with. They have even helped me to learn to floss daily! Dr. McCann, Dr. Macko's predecessor in the practice was my favorite Dentist. I was slightly apprehensive when Dr. McCann retired- wondering how the "new Dentist" would be...It did not take long to discover the care and wisdom she possessed in choosing someone to take over her practice as Dr. Macko and her staff have been WONDERFUL. They may get tired of hearing me tell them this story every time I see them. :)
Frequently Asked Questions
For esthetics, especially of the front teeth, all-porcelain crowns would be the best option, but some patients (eg. those who clench or have very worn teeth) may need the stronger porcelain-veneered-over-gold crowns. Even gold crowns are excellent when the tooth is not visible.
A lost crown is generally not a serious emergency, but if you still have it, you should get it recemented. The sooner you do this the better. The absence of a protective crown can lead to increased sensitivity and pain.
If you were able to find the missing crown, store it in a safe place until you are able to see the dentist. You may also try to reapply the crown using a store-bought denture adhesive, usually thinned with water. If it seems to stay in securely , this is still a very temporary solution; you don't want to swallow it (don't chew on it).
Though only a temporary solution, this can provide protection to your tooth and limit sensitivity and pain until your next appointment. Meanwhile, if you can brush it comfortably do so, making sure you do this without toothpaste, which can irritate it.
- There are several factors used to determine whether removable dentures, fixed (cemented) bridges, or implants are the best tooth replacement option for you. We use in-depth examination and analysis to determine which treatment method is best for your dental health and your smile. We will then make recommendations based on our analysis, providing a thorough explanation and answering all your questions and concerns.
