At Allegro Smiles in Rochester, NY, we offer custom-made dental crowns to restore and strengthen damaged teeth while enhancing the appearance of your smile. Our crowns are carefully crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing both aesthetic and functional benefits.

What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns, or caps, are tooth-shaped coverings designed to encase a damaged or weakened tooth. Custom-made to match the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth, crowns restore strength, functionality, and aesthetics to your smile.

Reasons for Dental Crowns

  • Protect Weak Teeth: Shield teeth weakened by decay, large fillings, or root canals from further damage.
  • Restore Damaged Teeth: Repair cracked, broken, or severely worn-down teeth.
  • Support Dental Bridges: Serve as anchors for securing dental bridges.
  • Cosmetic Enhancement: Improve the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth.

Types of Dental Crowns

  • Porcelain Crowns: Highly aesthetic, resembling the natural translucency of teeth.
  • Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns: Combine the durability of metal with the natural look of porcelain.
  • All-Ceramic Crowns: Provide exceptional aesthetics and are ideal for front teeth.
  • Gold Alloy Crowns: Known for their durability, these crowns are often used for molars.

The Dental Crown Procedure

  1. Preparation: The damaged tooth is reshaped by removing a small amount of enamel to accommodate the crown.
  2. Impressions: Detailed impressions are taken to create a custom-fit crown.
  3. Temporary Crown: A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while the permanent crown is fabricated.
  4. Placement: The permanent crown is secured, adjusted for fit, and aligned with your bite for comfort and functionality.

Caring for Your Dental Crown

To ensure the longevity of your dental crown:

  • Brush and Floss Daily: Clean thoroughly around the crown and surrounding teeth to prevent decay and gum disease.
  • Avoid Hard Foods: Be cautious with hard or sticky foods to protect your crown.
  • Attend Regular Check-Ups: Regular dental visits ensure your crown remains in excellent condition.
