Custom crowns that protect and restore damaged teeth.
Restore damaged or missing teeth with our high-quality crowns and bridges. Crowns strengthen and protect weakened teeth, while bridges fill gaps caused by missing teeth, helping you regain both function and aesthetics. At Monteluz Dental Specialty Group, we provide custom-made crowns and bridges to restore the function, strength, and aesthetics of damaged or missing teeth. These dental restorations are an effective solution for patients who want to improve their oral health and regain their confident smile.
What Are Crowns?
Crowns are protective caps that cover damaged or weakened teeth, restoring their size, shape, and function. They are often used after root canal treatments or to restore teeth with large fillings that cannot support regular chewing forces.
Types of Crowns
1. Porcelain Crowns – These are popular for their natural appearance, matching the color and translucency of your natural teeth. 2. Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns – These offer both durability and aesthetic appeal, with a metal core for strength and a porcelain exterior for a natural look. 3. Zirconia Crowns – Known for their superior strength and durability, zirconia crowns are an excellent choice for molars and teeth subjected to heavy biting forces. 4. Gold Crowns – Although less common, gold crowns are extremely durable and long-lasting, making them ideal for back teeth where aesthetics are less critical.
The Process for Crowns
1. Consultation and Evaluation: During your first visit, we'll assess your oral health, take digital impressions, and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs. 2. Tooth Preparation: The affected tooth is reshaped to make room for the crown. 3. Impressions and Temporary Restoration: We take impressions or digital scans to create a precise mold of your teeth. Temporary crowns are placed to protect your teeth while your permanent restorations are fabricated. 4. Final Placement: Once your crowns are ready, we cement them in place and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit.
Caring for Your Crowns and Bridges
1. Good Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss daily, paying special attention to the area around your crowns and bridges. 2. Avoid Hard Foods: Be cautious with hard foods like ice or popcorn kernels that could damage the restoration. 3. Regular Dental Visits: Schedule routine check-ups to monitor the condition of your crowns and bridges and ensure they remain in optimal shape.
