Dental Crowns

At Willow Dental Care Garrison, we understand how discouraging it can be to go through life with broken, stained, or damaged teeth. Depending on the state of your natural teeth, a realistic dental crown might be the perfect cosmetic solution. Porcelain dental crowns are often used as natural-looking restorations to cover damaged teeth or stainless-steel dental implants.

How Do Dental Crowns Work?

If you have damaged teeth, your dentist may recommend being fitted for a porcelain dental crown to cover the affected teeth. Dental crowns are composted of realistic, durable porcelain and are shaped to mimic the look and feel of a natural tooth. These realistic and long-lasting crowns are bonded to each existing tooth with dental cement to maximize longevity.

Combining Dental Crowns and Implants

A dental crown is bonded directly to an existing tooth if there is enough enamel to hold it in place. If the natural tooth cannot be saved, your dentist may recommend removing the tooth and installing a dental implant with a dental crown. Dental implants are stainless steel posts that are surgically implanted into the jaw bone with a crown on top to replace the tooth and restore full function to your bite.
