Things to know about getting a dental crown in Hoboken, New Jersey
Crowns are one of many restorations available to patients at Dental Associates of Hoboken. Our providers, Drs. Bari Posner, Anum Ali, and Giancarlo Brezillion believe that using such restorations can extend the longevity of natural teeth. If you are ready to discuss the benefits of dental crowns, reach out to our Hoboken, New Jersey dentists today.
What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is best described as a “cap” that covers the entire visible surface of a tooth. This cap is custom-made to fit over the existing tooth, providing strength and protection.
What does a tooth crown look like?
These restorations look just like the rest of your teeth, thanks to the material and coloration used at our office.
Why are dental crowns needed?
Our team typically recommends dental crowns when a tooth has been severely damaged or weakened from decay, injury, or previous dental work. Our team also uses crowns for cosmetic purposes to improve the overall appearance of misshapen or stained and discolored teeth.
What is the best type of dental crown?
Over the years, there have been many different types of dental crowns designed to restore the smile. The materials continue to change, but our team finds that porcelain dental crowns provide our patients with the most natural-looking and long-lasting results. We offer porcelain dental crowns because they are:
- Esthetic
- Long-lasting
- Easy to care for
- Affordable
How is a dental crown placed?
The process of getting a dental crown usually involves two different appointments. Our staff will shape your tooth to fit the crown and remove any decayed or damaged areas during your initial appointment. A digital impression of the tooth is made to create a custom-made crown. During your second appointment, the new crown is cemented in place using a special dental cement.
How do I take care of my dental crown after placement?
Once your quality dental crown is placed, you will need to take care of it just like you would your natural teeth. This includes steps like maintaining good oral hygiene habits (brushing twice daily and flossing at least once). Visiting the dentist regularly will also ensure your dental crown lasts as long as possible. With appropriate care, many of our patients will enjoy their dental crown restorations for many years before replacement is needed.
