Dental Crowns: Strengthening and Restoring Your Smile

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers and protects a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its function, appearance, and strength. Crowns are a time-tested solution for preserving teeth and enhancing oral health.

The Dental Crown Process

  1. Consultation: Dr Chenet evaluates the affected tooth and discusses if and why a crown is needed.

  2. Preparation: The tooth is shaped to accommodate the fit of the crown, and  digital scans are taken.

  3. Crafting: A custom crown is created using high-quality materials like ceramic that is strong and made to match the shape and color of your natural teeth.

  4. Placement: The crown is permanently cemented to the tooth, restoring its appearance and functionality.
