305-443-4713A dental crown is a tooth-shaped covering that is placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns cover the entire visible part of a tooth. Dr. Raymond del Castillo and Dr. Douglas A. Deam may recommend a dental crown in Coral Gables, Florida, to serve the following purposes:
- To protect a weak tooth from breaking
- To hold together a cracked tooth
- To restore a broken tooth
- To restore a worn tooth
- To support a tooth with a large filling
- To anchor a dental bridge
- To cover irregularly shaped teeth
- To cover badly discolored teeth
- To cover a dental implant
- To make a cosmetic improvement
To prepare your tooth for a dental crown, our dentists will remove a small amount of enamel. This will allow room for the crown in your smile. An impression will then be made so a dental crown can be constructed. With the use of CEREC, Dr. del Castillo or Dr. Deam can make and place porcelain crowns in one visit. Usually, the construction of a crown takes about two weeks. Our dentists will check the fit of the dental crown, make any necessary adjustments, and cement it permanently into place.
