DENTAL CROWNS

Dental crowns are versatile restorative solutions that can transform the appearance and function of damaged or weakened teeth. At Live Oak Dental Group, we offer custom-made dental crowns to help you achieve a beautiful, healthy smile.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a cap made from porcelain, metal, or a combination of both. It's designed to fit completely over a damaged, weak, or broken tooth, essentially encasing it and restoring its function and appearance.

What Are the Benefits of Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns offer numerous benefits. Crowns restore the shape and function of damaged teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Additionally, they help prevent further decay or damage, preserving the overall health and integrity of your teeth.

Am I a Candidate for Dental Crowns?

If you require a dental bridge or implant, or if your teeth are extensively damaged, decayed, uneven, misshapen, or discolored, crowns may be recommended to restore function and aesthetics. Consulting your dentist will help determine if dental crowns are the right treatment option for your needs.

What Types of Crowns Do You Offer?

You have many options when it comes to choosing the type of crown you want. Here are some of the materials Live Oak Dental offers:

  • All-ceramic Crowns: These are ideal for the front teeth because they look like natural teeth.
  • Metal Crowns: Though noticeable due to their appearance, metal crowns are durable and can withstand chewing forces.
  • Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM): These are the best of both worlds. PFM combines the strength of metal with the elegant beauty of a ceramic crown.
  • Zirconia Crowns: Zirconia is a strong yet natural-looking material that reflects light similarly to natural enamel.
  • CEREC® Same-Day Crowns: These crowns can be placed in a convenient single dental visit. CEREC® crowns are made of a durable ceramic designed, manufactured, and installed using computer-assisted technology in the dentist’s office.
