Learn how our doctors can restore your smile using the latest technological advancements in modern dentistry.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a restoration used to protect a broken tooth following trauma or decay, to improve the appearance of a tooth, or to replace a lost tooth when used in conjunction with an implant.

Your tooth will be reshaped to make room for the custom crown to be placed over and then secured with dental cement.

Restore a Weakened Tooth With a Durable Crown Benefits of a Dental Crown

Our dentists can help you avoid more costly treatments in the future by reinforcing a tooth with a dental crown. We can also treat a single missing tooth with a dental implant-supported crown. The benefits a crown provides to your oral health and appearance include:

Repair and Protection

Commonly placed over a tooth following a root canal or to repair a broken tooth, a crown protects a tooth from further damage. There is no substitute for your natural teeth. With prompt treatment with a crown, you can avoid the need for extraction.

Longterm Solution

The medical-grade dental porcelain used to craft your custom crown is engineered to withstand years of normal biting forces. With proper care and regular checkups with our Fort Wayne, IN, dentists, a crown from Harrison Dental Group can provide you with a decade of durable service.

My son had a dental procedure done at the Winchester office. He is special needs and the hygenist Jenny and the female dentist (sorry, I can't remember her name) but they both did a great job with him. Quality care!

Your crown will be tailor-made to blend in with your surrounding teeth.

Initial Exam

One of our highly skilled dentists will inspect your teeth to determine the best treatment method to address your individual needs.

Treatment

Any teeth in need of attention will undergo treatment before being prepared to accept a temporary crown. For a decayed tooth, this generally means a root canal.

Digital Impressions

Using the iTero digital wand, our dentist will take a detailed scan of your teeth to ensure the best possible fit for your new crown.

Temporary Crown Placed

We will supply our dental lab with the digital information needed to create your crown. A temporary crown will be placed while your permanent restoration is being fabricated.

Final Restoration

Once completed, our dentist will place your customized porcelain dental crown. Final adjustments will be made to achieve a perfect fit. Once you and your dentist are satisfied, your dental crown will be secured in place with an incredibly strong adhesive.

Restored Form and Function

A permanent dental crown will function, look, and feel just like your natural teeth. Your restored tooth will blend in with your surrounding teeth and will be nearly indistinguishable when you share your smile.

How to Protect Your New Dental Crown

Now that your temporary crown has been replaced with a permanent crown, you don't want to do anything to compromise the protection it offers. Our crowns are crafted with medical-grade dental porcelain engineered to withstand years of biting forces, but just like your natural tooth, your crown is not indestructible. Keep up these good habits to maintain the durability of your crown:

checkmark

Take Caution When Eating

Very hard or sticky foods can damage or dislodge a dental crown. Patients can eat and drink virtually anything with a crown but should still be cautious while consuming certain foods, like caramel or taffy.

checkmark

Continue to Practice Good Dental Hygiene

You can care for your new dental crown just like you care for your natural teeth. Continue to brush your teeth and floss every day to avoid plaque buildup and potential cavities. 

checkmark

Avoid Abrasive Toothpaste

Since your dental crown is not made with natural enamel, it can be susceptible to erosion from abrasive toothpaste. Choose non-abrasive toothpastes to keep your crown looking shiny and new.

checkmark

Avoid Bad Habits

Certain bad habits, like biting your nails or opening items with your teeth, can compromise your porcelain crown. If you grind your teeth at night, wear a nightguard to avoid breaking the crown.

checkmark

Regular Dental Visits

Continue to visit our Fort Wayne, IN, dentists for biannual dental exams. During a regular cleaning, your dentist can make sure the existing crown is holding up and that no new dental concerns have arisen.

Cedric's Story

Cedric had some anxiety about visiting the dentist, so his wife recommended Harrison Dental Group. Cedric's experience was pain-free and positive, and he was relaxed by Dr. Keith J. Harrison's chairside manner and the team's stellar customer service. Thanks to his crown and bridgework, Cedric can smile confidently.
