Tooth Crown in Foley, AL
A dental crown is a restorative treatment that fits over the top of a tooth. You can think of a crown as a little tooth-shaped “cap.”
It protects your tooth from additional damage while restoring your ability to talk and chew with ease. At Foley Dental Associates in Foley, AL we take special care to customize each individual crown so it seamlessly blends in with your surrounding teeth. Your tooth crown will resemble your natural teeth so perfectly that onlookers shouldn’t be able to tell your crown isn’t your “real” tooth!
Reasons for Tooth Crowns:
- Broken or fractured teeth
- Cosmetic enhancement
- Decayed teeth
- Fractured fillings
- Large fillings
- Tooth has a root canal
A tooth crown procedure usually requires two appointments in our Foley, AL office. Your first appointment will include taking several highly accurate molds (or impressions) that will be used to create your custom tooth crown. A mold will also be used to create a temporary crown which will stay on your tooth for approximately two weeks until your new dental crown is fabricated by a dental laboratory. While your tooth is numb, the dentist will prepare your tooth by removing any decay and shaping the surface to properly fit the dental crown. Once these details are accomplished, your temporary tooth crown will be placed with temporary cement and your bite will be checked to ensure you are biting properly. At your second appointment in our Foley, AL office, your temporary crown will be removed, the tooth will be cleaned, and your new tooth crown will be carefully placed to ensure the spacing and bite are accurate.
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are custom-made restorations designed to completely cover a damaged, weakened, or severely worn tooth. Often referred to as "caps," crowns restore the tooth's strength, function, shape, and appearance while protecting it from further damage.
Crowns are commonly recommended when a tooth cannot be restored with a filling alone due to extensive decay, fractures, or after root canal treatment. Modern dental crowns are crafted from durable materials that closely mimic the appearance of natural teeth, providing long-lasting protection without compromising your smile.
At Foley Dental Associates, we create personalized dental crowns that blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth while helping you maintain comfortable chewing and long-term oral health.
