Custom Dental Crowns: The Art of Restoring Your Crown in Delaware, OH

At Calm Dental Studio in Delaware, OH, we believe that a damaged tooth shouldn't compromise the integrity of your smile. Our custom dental crowns are a highly effective and aesthetic solution for restoring a tooth's strength, function, and natural beauty.

Serving the Delaware, Lewis Center, Powell, and Marion communities, Dr. Alla and our compassionate team specialize in creating beautiful, durable crowns. Using high-quality materials and advanced technology, we meticulously craft each crown to match the shape and shade of your natural teeth. The result is a seamless restoration that protects your tooth and gives you renewed confidence in your smile.

What Are Custom Dental Crowns?

Often called a "cap," a dental crown is a custom-made restoration that completely covers a damaged tooth. Unlike a filling, a crown provides full coverage, protecting the tooth from further damage while restoring its shape, size, and strength. Our crowns are made from a variety of aesthetic, tooth colored materials, including porcelain and zirconia, that are designed to look and feel just like your natural teeth.

Why Choose a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a versatile solution for a wide range of common dental issues. Choosing a custom dental crown offers a wealth of benefits that enhance both your oral health and your smile's aesthetics:

Protects a Weakened Tooth

A crown encases a tooth that is cracked or weakened by extensive decay, preventing it from breaking.

Restores Function

It can restore a tooth that has been severely worn down, improving your ability to chew and speak comfortably.

Aesthetic Enhancement

Crowns can improve the appearance of a severely discolored or poorly shaped tooth, giving you a more uniform smile.

Supports Other Restorations

A crown is used to hold a dental bridge in place or to cover a dental implant, ensuring long term stability.

Strengthens After a Root Canal

A crown is often the final step after a root canal procedure to protect the tooth from fracture.

On your second visit, Dr. Alla will remove the temporary crown and permanently bond your new, custom-made crown to your tooth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have Questions About Natural-Looking Fillings?

Have questions about restoring your smile with a dental crown? Here are some common inquiries we receive at Calm Dental Studio:

How long do dental crowns last?

With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, a custom dental crown can last for 10 to 15 years or even longer.

What are dental crowns made of?

We use high-quality materials that are both durable and aesthetic, such as all-porcelain, zirconia, or porcelain-fused-to-metal, depending on the tooth's location and your specific needs.

Are dental crowns painful?

The procedure for placing a dental crown is very comfortable. Dr. Alla will use a local anesthetic to numb the area, ensuring you feel no pain during the treatment. Post-procedure sensitivity is usually minimal and temporary.

How do I care for my new dental crown?

Caring for a crown is just like caring for a natural tooth. You should continue to brush twice a day, floss daily, and maintain your regular dental check-ups at Calm Dental Studio.

How will my new crown be matched to my other teeth?

Dr. Alla will meticulously select a shade of porcelain or zirconia that precisely matches your surrounding natural tooth color. This careful process, combined with our lab's expert craftsmanship, ensures your crown blends seamlessly and is virtually undetectable, making it difficult to distinguish from your natural teeth.

Do I need special care for my temporary crown?

Yes, while wearing your temporary crown, it's best to avoid sticky and chewy foods (like gum or caramel) that could pull it off. You should also be careful when flossing instead of pulling the floss up, gently slide it out from the side to avoid dislodging the crown.
