Dental Crowns Tucker, GA

If a single tooth is worn down or damaged, it can often be strengthened and protected by a high-quality dental crown. Commonly referred to as caps, dental crowns are custom made to fit snugly over your tooth while matching the shade of the surrounding teeth for a seamless and natural look. MINT dentistry offers custom-made porcelain crowns to treat large cavities, protect root canal-treated teeth, cover tooth discoloration, and restore a cracked or broken tooth. We love that our patients have the most stunning smiles in Tucker, GA. Schedule an initial consultation at our luxurious office to find out more about how a dental crown can help make your smile healthy and beautiful.

Dental crowns may be needed in a variety of cases. These restorations can be used to keep a tooth (weakened by decay) from breaking, or they can hold together a cracked tooth. Crowns can be recommended to restore a tooth that is damaged or dark in color, aesthetically improve a tooth that is oddly shaped, or cover a tooth that has received a root canal. Our Tucker, GA practitioners also use crowns to treat moderate cavities, function as part of a bridge, and attach to dental implants to replace missing teeth. At MINT dentistry, our dental crowns are custom made with high-quality materials and placed using advanced technology to help make sure you have a beautiful result that lasts.

After relaxing into one of our plush treatment chairs, you'll be offered a pair of Beats headphones and MINT sunglasses to help keep you comfortable during your procedure. To begin, the treatment area will be anesthetized. Stronger sedation methods may be available to help you feel more comfortable during the procedure if you have anxiety about the process. When you're ready, your MINT dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any areas of damage and file it down, so your custom crown fits seamlessly. We'll then take impressions of your teeth (or a dental implant post) to help us design your custom restoration. A temporary cap will be placed to cover your tooth as the dental lab makes your custom crown. Once your custom crown is complete, you'll need to book a follow-up visit to have it placed. Then, the restoration will be attached to your dental implant or cemented to your natural tooth. After the crown is set in place, we'll adjust the fit, so it feels comfortable.

Unless stronger sedation was used, you'll be able to leave our office once your crown is placed and continue your normal activities. We'll discuss how to care for your dental crown, including any foods to avoid and the best way to keep it clean. In some cases, you may need to return for a quick bite adjustment to ensure the alignment is ideal once the crown has settled into place. During your exams at MINT dentistry in Tucker, GA, our team will check your restoration and adjust the fit as needed so it feels comfortable. Your dentist will let you know when your crown should be replaced; however, with proper care, your restoration can last for a long time. If you have any problems with your crown (e.g., it becomes loose or falls out), contact our office for help. It's best to avoid trying to fix it or put it back in on your own since this can damage your tooth or restoration.

A portion of your dental crown cost may be covered if you carry dental insurance. Once we've contacted your insurance provider, our staff can estimate your out-of-pocket expenses. During your consultation, we can help you determine the best options for your crown to fit your needs and budget. A member of our team will also discuss the payment methods we accept, including the MINT discount plan, which may help to make your treatments more affordable. MINT dentistry in Tucker, GA is dedicated to helping each of our patients get an attractive smile. Our dental crowns and restorations are made with high-quality materials, so you can feel confident that your smile results will look amazing and can last for years.
