Strengthen and Protect Your Smile
At Upper Deerfield Dental in Bridgeton, NJ, we know how important it is to feel confident in both the look and function of your teeth. When a tooth is weakened by decay, injury, or previous dental work, a dental crown offers a reliable way to restore its strength and appearance. Crowns are custom-made to fit securely over your tooth, providing long-lasting protection while blending naturally with your smile.
Why Dental Crowns Are Important
Your teeth endure constant use every day. When one becomes damaged or weakened, it can compromise your ability to chew comfortably and may lead to further problems if left untreated. Dental crowns are designed to solve these issues by covering the entire visible portion of the tooth, restoring both durability and aesthetics.
- Large cavities that cannot be restored with a filling
- Teeth that are cracked, broken, or worn down
- Teeth following root canal therapy
- Restoring dental implants
- Improving the shape, size, or color of a tooth for cosmetic reasons
For patients in Bridgeton and throughout Cumberland County, crowns are a trusted solution for protecting teeth and maintaining a strong, functional bite.
What to Expect During a Crown Procedure
Getting a dental crown typically involves two visits:
Evaluation and Preparation
The tooth is examined and reshaped to make space for the crown. Impressions are taken to ensure a precise fit.
Temporary Crown
While your permanent crown is being crafted, a temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth.
Final Placement
At your next visit, the permanent crown is adjusted for comfort and bonded securely in place.
The result is a restored tooth that looks natural and feels strong enough to handle daily use.
Materials for a Natural Look
At Upper Deerfield Dental, we use high-quality, tooth-colored materials that mimic the look and translucency of natural enamel. Whether porcelain, ceramic, or zirconia, your crown is designed to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth. For patients who prioritize both strength and aesthetics, these materials provide the best of both worlds.
