Crowns
Restored Teeth, Renewed Function
Dental crowns are a natural-looking solution to cracked, broken, decayed, or worn teeth. Since they're designed to fit snugly and function as your normal teeth, they protect your teeth from damage and preserve jaw alignment. Further, the all-porcelain crowns can allow for truly precise color matching while providing long-term durability.
Expert Preparation
It usually takes about two appointments to design and fit crowns. First, Dr. Pearsall will carefully numb your mouth and prepare the recipient teeth by gently removing the outer portion. Using expert judgement, he'll eliminate the decay and create the size and shape needed to accommodate the crown. Finally, he'll take an impression of your teeth to send to the laboratory for fabrication of your custom crowns. The fabrication takes about 2 weeks, during which we'll fit you with a temporary crown to protect your teeth and gums.
Careful Application
When the crowns are ready, Dr. Pearsall will simply remove the temporary crowns, then fit and adjust the permanent ones into place. After a careful evaluation for appearance, color match, bite discrepancies, and fit, he'll cement the crown into place. Your responsibility then becomes careful brushing and flossing, and regular professional care…to protect the base from bacterial growth.
