Reinforcing Dental Health With Crowns
Dental crowns are an excellent solution for restoring severely damaged or missing teeth, offering both aesthetic and functional benefits. At Crystal Clear Dental Spa, we use high-quality porcelain or porcelain-bonded-to-gold crowns that mimic the natural appearance and feel of your teeth. Whether replacing an old filling, repairing a cracked tooth, or enhancing the appearance of front teeth, crowns are designed to address severe dental issues with durability. They are particularly effective for people experiencing pain from hairline cracks in filled teeth or those with discolored or chipped front teeth. Crowns provide a long-lasting, reliable solution that can last 20 to 30 years, improving both the look of your smile and the functionality of your bite.
Ensuring Your Teeth Are Protected
Dental crowns are a highly recommended choice for those seeking a long-term solution to restore damaged teeth. Crafted from durable materials like porcelain or porcelain bonded to gold, crowns not only enhance the strength of your teeth but also provide a natural, seamless look. They are ideal for individuals who have experienced significant tooth damage from decay, trauma, or wear, and they also help protect teeth following root canal treatments. Crowns restore both the appearance and function of your teeth, allowing you to maintain a full, healthy smile and confident bite. Dr. Hu ensures that each crown is custom-fitted to meet your unique needs, providing a reliable and effective solution for a lasting improvement in your oral health.


Frequently Asked Questions
Dental crowns are recommended for teeth that are severely decayed, cracked, or broken, or for teeth with large fillings that may no longer be effective. They can also be used to protect weak teeth, improve the appearance of damaged teeth, or cover a dental implant.
With proper care, dental crowns can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years. Their longevity depends on factors like oral hygiene, the material used, and the location of the crown in your mouth.
Typically, getting a dental crown takes two visits to the dentist. During the first visit, the tooth is prepared, and a temporary crown is placed. The final crown is placed during the second visit once it’s ready.
If a dental crown breaks, it may be repaired in some cases, but often, it will need to be replaced. If you experience any issues with your crown, contact your dentist as soon as possible.
