If you’re dealing with a damaged or weakened tooth, our dental crowns in Tucson, AZ, are the perfect solution to restore your smile and protect your dental health. At Smile Perfection, we specialize in crafting custom-made crowns that strengthen your teeth and blend seamlessly with your natural smile. 

Our cutting-edge technology and commitment to personalized care can bring back confidence in your smile.

What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover and protect a damaged or decayed tooth. They fit over the entire visible part of a tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are necessary to save a tooth that would otherwise have to be extracted due to extensive damage or decay.

Crowns can be made from different materials, each with its own advantages:

We have several types of crowns to choose from:

Porcelain Crowns

These are a popular choice due to their ability to mimic the natural look of your teeth. Porcelain crowns are ideal for restoring front teeth because they blend in seamlessly with your smile.

Gold Crowns

Known for their exceptional durability and strength, gold crowns are highly resistant to wear and tear, making them a reliable choice for back teeth where chewing forces are stronger.

Acrylic Crowns

Often used as a temporary solution, acrylic crowns offer a cost-effective option while providing a functional and aesthetic benefit until a permanent crown is placed.

Signs You May Need a Dental Crown

Extensive tooth decay

Broken or cracked teeth

Worn-down teeth from grinding

Crown Fitting

Following root canal treatment

For a missing tooth, consider dental implants.

Benefits of Crowns

The benefits dental crowns bring, including restoring teeth and making them look great, are apparent the moment they’re placed. We design each crown for comfort, durability, and aesthetics.

Protection for Damaged Teeth

Crowns protect teeth that are cracked, weakened, or decayed. Covering and strengthening the crowns prevent further damage or extraction, protecting the tooth for years to come.

Appearance and Function

A solution that provides aethetics and durability, crowns restore the strength of your teeth and improve the appearance by matching your teeth’ natural color and shape while covering imperfections such as discoloration or misshapen teeth. This improves the functionality of the tooth – so you can chew and speak comfortably – and the overall appearance of your smile.

Longevity and Durability

Crowns are designed to last. With proper care they are a durable solution that can withstand daily wear and tear. Whether made from porcelain, gold or acrylic crowns provide long term protection and function so your smile is restored for years to come.

Fitted for Comfort and Aesthetics

Each crown at Smile Perfection is fitted for maximum comfort and to match your natural teeth. This attention to detail means your crown feels comfortable in your mouth and blends with your surrounding teeth for a natural look and optimal function.

What to Expect at Smile Perfection

We put your comfort and the quality of care first throughout the crown process. Here’s what to expect when you visit us for your new crown.

Decay Removal

During your first visit, we will clean and prepare the tooth. If there is decay or damage, we will remove it to create a healthy base for the crown. This is important so the tooth is fully protected once the crown is in place and can’t decay or damage further.

Tooth Reshaping

After the decay is removed, the next step is to reshape the tooth. We will gently reduce your tooth size to make room for the crown to fit in and be secure for your tooth structure. This makes sure the crown sits properly and aligns with your other teeth for both functional and aesthetic benefits.

Scanning and Designing

Next, after your tooth is prepared, we will take digital scans or impressions of the reshaped tooth. These scans are used to design a custom crown that matches the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth. We use the latest technology, so your crown is made to precise measurements so you get a natural-looking and durable result.

Placing Your Crown

Once all of that is done, our dentist in Tucson, Dr. Sharad Pandhi, will place your custom-fitted crown. We will check the fit before permanently bonding it to your tooth and make necessary adjustments for comfort and function. Once it’s in place, it will be bonded to your tooth and restored to its full strength and appearance.

Fun Facts About Dental Crowns

  1. Centuries-Old: Dental crowns aren’t new! The practice of using crowns as a part of cosmetic dentistry goes back centuries. Archaeologists have found crowns made of gold in ancient civilizations, including the Etruscans, as far back as 700 B.C.
  2. Gold Standard: While porcelain crowns are popular today, gold and metal crowns are still used for their durability. Gold is tough as nails and great for back molars, where strength is key.
  3. Same-Day Crowns: Thanks to modern technology like CAD/CAM systems, you can now get a crown in one visit! No more temporary crowns and a more efficient process.
  4. Versatile Dental Restorations: Crowns aren’t just for damaged teeth. They’re used to improve the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth for both cosmetic and restorative purposes.
  5. Long Lasting: With proper care, crowns can last 10 to 15 years or more. Regular checkups and good oral hygiene are key to keeping your crown in tip-top shape.
