Need durable tooth repair in Paso Robles? Dr. Keyla Springe and her team specialize in lasting tooth restoration with dental crowns, including same-day crowns with CEREC! Thanks to our advanced technologies, you can receive the tooth repair you need in just one visit to Pacific Coast Dentistry.
What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped covering placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. When cemented into place, the crown fully encases the visible portion of your tooth above the gum line.
At Pacific Coast Dentistry, we offer dental crowns crafted from metal, all ceramic, or porcelain fused to metal. Metal crowns are the most durable, while ceramic or porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns are the most natural-looking.
CEREC Same Day Dental Crowns
Dr. Springe uses the CEREC crown restoration system, with technology that makes it possible for our Paso Robles dental patients to receive a customized crown on the same day of their appointment! This means you won't have to wait weeks for the placement of your new crown. With CEREC same-day crowns, our team can offer state-of-the-art dental crown placement and even full mouth reconstruction much faster.
Dental Crown Procedure
At Pacific Coast Dentistry, we custom-make crowns in our own office using the most up-to-date technology, CAD/CAM. This technology allows us to design and mill a crown in only one hour from zirconia. Zirconia is the strongest, most modern porcelain available today.
Before beginning the procedure, our dentist will perform a thorough examination and take X-rays to determine the extent of the damage and determine what type of restoration will provide the best outcome. Next, the dentist will prepare the tooth by shaping it to accommodate the crown. After the tooth is prepared, an impression will be made and used to design the permanent crown.
Once the crown is ready, Dr. Springe will ensure it fits comfortably and matches the color of your surrounding teeth. Once everyone is happy with the result, the crown will be cemented to complete the treatment process and restore full form and function to your smile.
Do I Need a Dental Crown?
When a tooth is cracked, broken, damaged, or worn down, it can cause complications that impact your overall oral health. These issues can lead to further damage or even tooth loss without treatment. Dental crowns are an effective restorative treatment option to protect and strengthen damaged teeth and improve oral health. They support the remaining tooth structure to prevent further deterioration.
Each dental crown is custom-designed to fully encase the tooth above the gum line to restore and protect it. It is made from durable materials, such as porcelain or composite resin, and can be matched to the color of your other teeth to ensure a seamless and natural look. This way, the crown restores the tooth’s strength while also improving its appearance.
