Dental Crowns

Porcelain Crown - A crown replaces the entire external form of a tooth, down to the gum level.

First, the doctor will remove any decay and shape the tooth with a handpiece. Then the doctor will go ahead and take an impression of the patient’s teeth. The lab uses this impression to make a mold of the patient’s mouth which will be used to make a crown that precisely fits the patient’s tooth and bite. While the crown is in the lab the patient will have a temporary crown which will be removed when the actual crown is set.

Dental Implant Crown - A dental implant crown is a special type of crown custom-made to be supported by an implant. An implant replaces the root of a missing tooth or a tooth that needs to be removed and has to be surgically placed. The crown serves as the new tooth.
