Crowns & Caps

At Delgado Dental Group, we often recommend a dental crown when a tooth has too much structural damage for a simple filling or when additional tooth structure is needed as in the case of an undersized tooth. With their lifelike appearance, our crowns are designed to blend harmoniously with the surrounding teeth, restoring your smile’s natural beauty.

Restoring a Tooth look, feel, and function with a Dental Crown

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged, weakened, or misshapen tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. It provides full coverage, completely encasing the visible, upper portion of a tooth while providing added protection and reinforcement. They can be used in several situations to rebuild a tooth's look, feel, and function.

Some reasons we may recommend a dental crown include:

• Severe decay that has compromised a large portion of the tooth
• Fractured or cracked teeth that are at risk of further damage
• Teeth with root canal therapy that need extra protection
• Teeth worn down due to grinding or clenching
• Misshapen, undersized, or discolored teeth that affect the aesthetics of your smile
• Anchoring a dental bridge or covering a dental implant

The Benefits of a Full Coverage Crown

Dental crowns offer several advantages for maintaining a healthy, functional, and attractive smile. For one thing, they help to provide long-lasting protection, while preventing further damage or decay in weakened teeth. Crowns also help restore normal chewing function, allowing one to eat comfortably and without discomfort. They also restore a tooth's proper dimensions, helping to prevent the unwanted shifting of the adjacent and opposing teeth. And most the satisfying result of all, is that they cover defects and imperfections to improve the overall appearance of one's smile. 

Achieving Lifelike Results with Advanced Dental Materials

Our office uses latest generations of dental materials, such as ceramic and zirconia, to achieve lifelike, strong and aesthetically pleasing results. As these materials mimic the natural translucency and texture of tooth enamel, they ensure that our crowns blend seamlessly with your smile.
