Dental Crowns

Where damage to a person’s teeth is extreme and may be beyond repair, we can use porcelain or porcelain “fused-to-gold” crowns to make the smile appear like new. This is a reliable technique for repairing the most severe dental problems, even permanently replacing missing teeth to offer a complete smile and a functional bite. We are renowned for the quality of our work and the fantastic changes we make for people using this technology. These treatments are used for a long-lasting correction of major dental problems. It is usual for these treatments to last for 10 to 20 years, which is as close to permanent as dental treatment can get.

How long does it take to fit a dental crown?

Fitting a crown requires at least two visits to our office. Initially, we will remove decay, shape the tooth, and fit it with a temporary crown of plastic.

On the subsequent visit, we will remove the temporary crown and then fit and adjust the final crown. Finally, we will cement the crown into place and you have a new beautiful-looking tooth.

Key Benefits of Dental Crowns:

  • Offers support to misshapen teeth or broken teeth.
  • Looks very natural.
  • Repairs smile and functional chewing problems.

What are the capabilities of crowns?

Crown and bridgework are very reliable solutions for major dental problems caused by accidents, diseases, or wear and tear. Major problems can usually be corrected using these techniques. Materials used in these treatments are either high-grade porcelain or porcelain bonded to gold. A higher strength of the porcelain and gold materials is recommended to treat the most serious dental problems. In instances where damage has occurred resulting in the loss of teeth, where teeth have broken away through excessive wear or tooth damage caused by old fillings breaking down, bridges or implant crowns can be used as a long-term solution.

Many people have unexplained pain from filled back teeth that is are usually due to hairline cracks in the chewing part of the tooth. Placing crowns on these teeth relieves the pain and allows a return of full dental function. In front teeth, older fillings can both weaken the teeth and cause appearance problems due to staining or chipping. Porcelain crowns and bridges are suitable in cases where porcelain veneers are not. In teeth with root canal fillings, crowns can prevent breakage and strengthen the tooth.

Our Latest Patient Testimonials

Dr. Pickle is an incredible, caring Prosthodontist. I struggled for a long time with discomfort from an implant and 2 crowns that were poorly placed by another dentist. Subsequent dentists I saw could not obtain the needed abutment kit for my particular implant. Dr. Pickle had no problem obtaining what was needed. Dr. Pickle is the only one who offered a solution. I received the very best care and resolution. Dr. Pickle’s staff are very friendly, professional, and helpful. I highly recommend this office.

Dr Pickle is such an awesome prosthodontist! He is a perfectionist which is exactly what I needed when getting four crowns placed on my upper front teeth. They look better than I ever imagined they could! Everything he did from local anesthetic to fitting my crowns was completely painless! His staff are kind, courteous and always make me feel like family 🙂 I’ve recommended Dr Pickle to everyone I know who needs dental work like I did. As a retired dental hygienist, I’ve seen more than my fair share of dentists and staff over the years. Hands down, this office is the best!
