Rebuild Your Smile with Durable Dental Crowns
At Aurora Borealis Dentistry, we provide expertly crafted dental crowns to restore damaged, broken, or weakened teeth. Whether caused by trauma, decay, or wear, a broken tooth can affect your bite, appearance, and confidence. Our solution? Dental crowns that offer strength, protection, and a seamless match to your natural teeth.
Why Choose Dental Crowns for Damaged Teeth?
Dental crowns are full-coverage restorations designed to encase and protect a damaged tooth. They restore not only the appearance but also the functionality of teeth that would otherwise be compromised or lost. At Aurora Borealis Dentistry, we recommend dental crowns when a tooth cannot be fixed with a filling or bonding alone.
Common Causes of Tooth Damage
Teeth can become damaged for several reasons:
- Accidents or injuries causing fractures
- Extensive decay or large cavities
- Root canal treatment weakening the tooth structure
- Teeth grinding leading to wear
- Old restorations that have failed
In all of these situations, dental crowns offer a dependable way to preserve your natural tooth and avoid extraction.
How Dental Crowns Restore Strength and Function
Structural Reinforcement
Dental crowns reinforce weak tooth structures by fully covering and protecting them from further damage. They restore proper chewing and bite alignment, making it easier to eat and speak normally.
Natural-Looking Results
Using advanced materials like porcelain and zirconia, our dental crowns replicate the shape and color of your natural teeth. Once placed, your crown looks just like the original tooth — only stronger.
Our Process for Restoring Broken Teeth
Step 1: Assessment and Diagnosis
We begin with a thorough exam to determine if dental crowns are necessary. If the tooth is cracked, worn, or fractured beyond simple repair, we recommend a crown for long-term protection.
Step 2: Tooth Preparation
The damaged part of the tooth is cleaned and reshaped. Then, we take digital impressions to create a custom dental crown that fits perfectly.
Step 3: Placement of the Crown
A temporary crown is used while your permanent crown is being made. Once ready, we securely place the final dental crown, check the bite, and polish it for a perfect finish.
