Restore your mouth with crowns

A new crown can repair a decayed or damaged tooth to restore function to the mouth. Crowns fit over a tooth like a little cap to strengthen it. Crowns can also be used in conjunction with a dental implant for a complete tooth replacement.

Missing teeth can wreak havoc on your mouth because other teeth in the area will shift, which can change your bite and damage other teeth! Dental implants are the best option for complete tooth replacement and the crown that tops off the implant is strong and beautiful.

Getting a crown in Worcester, MA

If there is any decay, your dentist will first numb the tooth and removed the damaged portion of the tooth. A small portion of the tooth will have to be filed down to ensure that the crown fits over it. Your crown is then custom-made and attached with dental cement. 

If the crown is being used in conjunction with a dental implant, you first have minor surgery to place the implant. You might wear a temporary tooth cap for a period of weeks while your jaw bone heals. At a final appointment, the permanent crown is placed onto the dental implant, and you leave with a new tooth!

The convenience of crowns

Crowns are easy to care for as long as you keep up with regular dental visits twice a year and practice a great oral hygiene routine at home. Your dentist will recommend brushing for two minutes twice a day and flossing at least once a day. If you grind your teeth at night your dentist will recommend a nightguard to protect your new crowns.
