Restorative Dental Crowns in Benson

We provide high-quality porcelain, ceramic, and metal-plated crowns to rebuild your smile. Our team works closely with you to identify the best option for your needs, based on your tooth's location and your aesthetic goals.

A cracked or broken tooth needs a dental crown when the damage is too extensive for a simple filling, and the remaining structure requires adequate support to hold it together and prevent it from breaking when biting or chewing. Common signs that indicate a need for dental crowns include:

• Pain when biting or chewing: Sharp pain while chewing indicates a crack reaching into the inner dentin layer.
• Deep cracks: Cracks that extend deep into the tooth or below the enamel.
• Weakness after root canal therapy: Weakening of the teeth following a root canal.

Dental crowns fit directly over a damaged or weakened tooth like a protective cap, fully restoring its natural shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are custom-built and prevent tooth decay and disintegration.

Dental crown appointments at our Benson office typically consist of two visits, designed to ensure you feel comfortable throughout the treatment. Our dental crown appointments consist of a thorough examination to determine whether a crown is right for you. We take X-rays to assess alignment and bite, which helps us design a custom-fit crown. Next, we prepare the affected teeth by removing damaged portions and reshaping them to ensure a proper fit. Once your crown is ready, your dentist checks the fit, color, and bite before bonding it securely into place.

Ensuring your crowns' longevity is dependent on how you care for them. Brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing around your crowns, and regular check-ups with our team are essential. If you have bruxism, our team can help you get a custom nightguard to shield your crowns from excessive pressure.
