Restore Your Teeth with Dental Crowns at Presidio Dental
Dental crowns are versatile and very successful cosmetic and restorative options. They work as protective caps and encase the visible part of an affected or compromised tooth, restoring it to its original shape, size, and strength.
Whether your tooth is cracked, worn, badly decayed, or discolored, cosmetic crowns offer an immediate and long-lasting solution. At Presidio Dental, we help our patients regain optimal oral health and aesthetics through customized crown procedures in San Francisco.
What Is a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped coverings placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to lend strength, function, and beauty.
Crowns are used in cases where:
- Big cavities cannot be filled
- Teeth that have been small enough to be broken must be filled
- After performing root canal therapy
- To mask a misshapen, discolored tooth
- As part of an aesthetic smile makeover
- To anchor a dental bridge
- To cover a dental implant
The crowns will enhance tooth appearance, chewing ability, and protection from further damage. Think of them as an enduring shield for your smile.
Types of Crowns Available
At Presidio Dental, we have a wide variety of cosmetic crown materials custom-designed to suit your clinical needs and personal tastes.
- Porcelain Crowns: Porcelain offers varying translucency, much like natural teeth, making crowns a preferred choice for front-facing teeth. It blends well with the surrounding teeth, mimicking natural enamel in translucency.
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns: You get the best of both worlds-the beauty of a natural-looking porcelain crown and the strength of metal underneath. Such crowns are strong, especially for those who tend to grind their teeth.
- Zirconia Crowns: Zirconia is an ultra-strong, highly durable ceramic, thus perfect for use on the back molars. It can also be shaded to the look of natural teeth and yet maintain its strength.
- Metal Crowns: These types of crowns typically consist of a gold alloy or other metal mixtures. They are the most durable or long-lasting types of crowns and are suitable for molars hidden in the inner part of the mouth. The only downfall is the visibility of the metal.
- E-Max Crowns: Being entirely pressed from lithium disilicate ceramics, E-Max crowns provide more than enough strength and excellent aesthetic qualities for front and back teeth. Our dentists have appraised your overall oral health, the location of the tooth on which you want the crowns, and your primary cosmetic goals, guiding you through the choices so that you may arrive at the proper decision.
The Crown Placement Process
Getting a dental crown at Presidio Dental is a pleasant and comfortable procedure aimed at providing the highest quality results.
Consultation & Evaluation
We begin with a thorough dental checkup with digital X-rays and scans. If you qualify for a crown, we will discuss the materials and develop a treatment plan for you.
Tooth Preparation
The tooth is gently shaped to receive the crown. Decay, if any, is removed, or buildup is done to hold the crown.
Digital Impressions
We take 3D digital images of your mouth using an advanced scanner–no unpleasant molds! These models develop into images that allow you the highest compatible custom crown possible.
Temporary Crown
While your permanent crown is made in the dental lab, our dentist places a temporary one to protect the tooth.
Final Placement
When the permanent crown is ready (about 1–2 weeks), we will check the fit, shape, and shade and make necessary adjustments, cementing the crown afterward.
Follow-Up & Aftercare
We’ll set follow-ups with you to ensure things are going well and will provide you with aftercare instructions.
