When you have a damaged or aesthetically unappealing tooth, it’s natural to feel self-conscious about your smile. But with porcelain dental crowns from High Forest Dental in Littleton, Colorado, you can bid goodbye to dental imperfections and say hello to newfound confidence. With their unrivaled resemblance to natural teeth, porcelain crowns placed by Dr. Allison Brown and team restore your smile’s function and appearance just like your own teeth. 

Why dental crowns are necessary

We all love to keep our natural teeth — but as tough as our teeth are, sometimes they just can’t keep up. Luckily, dental solutions exist to restore your teeth when dental woes strike. Dental crowns are one of the most popular restorations for compromised teeth. And like dental veneers, dental crowns have many uses in dentistry. 

Some include: 

• Protecting a tooth after root canal treatment
• Strengthening a fractured or weakened tooth
• Covering up a severely discolored tooth
• Topping off a dental implant
• Securing a dental bridge in place
• Replacing large, worn-out fillings

What to expect during the dental crown procedure

Are you curious about your upcoming dental crown procedure? Rest assured, you are in the best hands! We use precise treatment planning, professional-grade materials, and artistic prowess to deliver high-quality restorations. 

Here is a breakdown of what to expect when restoring your tooth with a crown. 

• Examination: We’ll examine your compromised tooth to determine the extent of damage and whether a crown is sufficient to restore it. 
• Tooth preparation: After numbing your tooth, we carefully reshape it to ensure your crown fits snugly. This process usually involves removing part of your tooth’s structure to ensure your restoration doesn’t look or feel bulky. 
• Fabrication: We’ll take impressions of your prepped tooth and send the images to our in-office mill or our partner lab to craft your restoration. We’ll work closely with the dental lab to ensure your restoration matches your tooth specifications. Until your crown is ready, you’ll wear a provisional crown to protect your prepped tooth.  If we make your crown in our office, you will leave with the permanent crown that day!
• Placement: When your crown is ready, you’ll book an appointment with our office for placement. After removing your temporary restoration, we’ll clean your tooth before trying on your permanent crown. Our dentist will make a few final touches on your crown before securing it to your tooth with dental adhesives. 

Once we crown your tooth, there will be no more chewing impediments — you can comfortably enjoy your favorite foods. You’ll also smile confidently because a crown restores your dental aesthetics to have you smiling ear to ear — after all, you have no imperfections to hide.

Benefits of dental crowns

Our dental crowns are fabricated using tried-and-tested porcelain. Porcelain resembles your natural enamel in many ways, from appearance to durability. Porcelain crowns offer many benefits, including.

• Natural fit and look
• They can last over 15 years with proper maintenance
• They are stain-resistant
• Unlike metal, porcelain is biocompatible, so it doesn’t trigger allergic reactions
• Easy maintenance
• Versatility to restore teeth anywhere in the mouth, including the front and back teeth
