Do you want to cover up a misshapen tooth? Want to protect a weak tooth from breaking? Dr. Barbara E. Baxter specializes in dental crowns. Our dentist will consult with you, evaluate the current state of your teeth and possibly suggest a dental crown to cover up and protect a tooth, or multiple teeth.
What should you know about dental crowns?
A crown is used to cover a damaged, misshapen or severely discolored tooth. If you’re tired of covering up your smile or chewing on one side, a crown might be right for you. Here are a few things to note:
- There are many types of dental crowns (porcelain, stainless steel, etc.). We’ll help determine what works best for you.
- Installing a crown usually takes more than one visit – the first for your evaluation and the tooth impression, the second for the permanent placement of the tooth.
- As with any tooth, it’s important to take proper care of the crown. It’ll take a bit for it to feel normal, but it should look and function well over time – with proper care.
