Dental Crowns Restore Damaged Teeth
A dental crown in Linden, NJ is a tooth cap crafted from porcelain or zirconia that restores a compromised tooth’s function, shape, and strength. If a cavity goes unchecked, oral bacteria continues to impact the tooth enamel and dentin. There may not be adequate tooth structure after removing decay to support a filling, in which case a dental crown is required.
When a tooth is too discolored or misshapen to restore with a porcelain veneer, a tooth crown is often the best option. Last, a root canal weakens the interior tooth structure, and a crown is necessary to protect it from future fracture and extraction.
The process starts by trimming and reshaping your tooth to create an ideal base for the crown. Digital impressions of your bite are taken to craft a temporary crown on-site and sent to the dental lab to fabricate your final tooth crown.
