Beautiful and Functional Dental Care
Dental crowns are protective layers of durable porcelain that cover a damaged tooth. This protects the compromised tooth surface from breaking apart further. They are often considered to be the best line of defense for restoring teeth that have experienced:
- Large fillings which need to be replaced
- Severely fractured teeth
- Large cavities
- Root canal treated teeth
- Severely discolored teeth
- Teeth with large gaps
- Severe wear
Long Lasting Dental Crowns
Although the lifetime of the restoration will vary from person-to-person, Dental Solutions of Little Rock has seen many of our crowns last for well over 15 years.
One of the factors to be considered is the amount of healthy tooth structure that is still present under the crown. Experience matters! At Dental Solutions of Little Rock, we have placed thousands of successful restorations.
Dental Crowns are designed to look and function like a natural tooth. Caring for your crown is important, with regular daily hygiene and routine preventive care, you can help extend the health of the tooth underneath.
The Treatment Experience
We offer traditional dental crowns which require two visits approximately two weeks apart for the tooth to be prepped and digitally designed by a laboratory and zirconia.
Dental Solutions of Little Rock uses durable porcelain materials that restore function while also enhancing the appearance of a smile. Each crown is custom matched so that the permanent restoration blends right in with nearby teeth. Find out which type of crown is best for you by contacting us today.
