Poor oral habits, grinding, and trauma are common culprits behind tooth damage and cavities. If you have a cracked or decayed tooth, dental crowns may be the solution you need.
Using CEREC® technology, Dr. Richard Hardt, DDS, provides quality custom restorations to fix your smile and keep it strong and healthy.
A crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance.
The process of getting a dental crown involves two visits to our office:
During your first visit, Dr. Hardt and Dr. Cruz will prepare the affected tooth by removing any decay or damage and shaping it to accommodate the crown. They will also take impressions of your teeth with CEREC® technology to create a precise mold for the crown.
Finally, they will place a temporary crown to protect the tooth while the permanent one is being fabricated.
Once your custom crown is ready, you'll return for a second visit. Our doctors will remove the temporary crown and carefully bond the permanent restoration to make sure your tooth functions and looks like a natural one.
A dental crown may be a good option if you’re in one of these situations:
While dental crowns are durable and long-lasting, they need to be replaced after 15 or 20 years due to normal wear and tear or changes in the underlying tooth structure.
