Damaged, weakened or severely decayed teeth can make daily activities like chewing and speaking difficult. Dental crowns offer a strong, natural-looking solution to restore function and appearance. We provide custom crowns tailored to your unique smile, ensuring long-lasting results and improved confidence.
What Are Dental Crowns and When Are They Needed?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers and protects a damaged tooth. It is used to restore a tooth’s shape, size, strength and appearance. Our dentist may recommend a crown for several reasons, including:
- Severe tooth decay that cannot be repaired with a filling
- Broken, chipped or fractured teeth
- Teeth that have undergone root canal therapy
- Large or worn-down fillings
- Cosmetic enhancements for misshapen or discolored teeth
Dr. Alex Yanchuk carefully evaluates each tooth to determine if a crown is the best restorative option. Our approach is focused on preserving your natural structure while improving overall oral health.
ÂDurable and Natural-Looking Results
Dental crowns in Beaverton, Oregon, can be made from various materials such as porcelain, ceramic or metal alloys. At Summercrest Dental, we often use tooth-colored materials that blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth. These materials are both durable and aesthetically pleasing, offering a natural look with long-lasting strength.
The process typically involves two appointments. During the first visit, the tooth is prepared, impressions are taken and a temporary crown is placed. Once your custom crown is ready, we ensure a precise fit and proper bite alignment before securely placing the final crown.
Benefits of dental crowns include:
- Protection from further damage or decay
- Enhanced chewing and speaking ability
- Improved appearance and uniform smile
- Long-lasting results with proper care
