About Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are used in both cosmetic and restorative dentistry. Crowns help protect your oral health, restore full function, and improve the aesthetics of your smile. Dr. Michael J. Spitzer, trusted restorative dentist by many in Newport Beach and beyond, may recommend a dental crown to protect a cracked or weakened tooth, restore one following a root canal, or enhance the overall appearance of your smile. Each crown is carefully crafted with the natural grooves and contours of real teeth, allowing for comfortable chewing and a natural, lifelike appearance.
If you’re looking for durable, natural-looking dental crowns in Newport Beach, Dr. Spitzer offers personalized care and exceptional results.
What is a dental crown?
Dental crowns are custom-made caps, often crafted from porcelain, ceramic, metal, or resin, that fit over a damaged or weakened tooth. They restore the tooth’s strength, function, and natural appearance, allowing you to chew, bite, and smile with confidence.
Crowns are commonly recommended after restorative procedures such as a root canal or when decay has compromised a large portion of the tooth. They are also used to:
-
Attach dental bridges
-
Cover dental implants
-
Protect a cracked tooth from further damage
-
Secure a filling that is at risk of becoming loose
-
Improve the appearance of discolored or stained teeth
Whether for restorative or cosmetic purposes, dental crowns provide a durable, natural-looking solution to maintain oral health and a beautiful smile.
Process for Placing a Dental Crown
A tooth must usually be reduced in size to accommodate a crown. An impression is then made from the existing tooth to create a custom-designed crown. The impression is sent to a special lab, which manufactures a custom-designed crown. In some cases, a temporary crown is applied until the permanent crown is ready. Permanent crowns are cemented in place.
Crowns are sometimes confused with veneers, but they are quite different. Veneers are typically applied only to relatively small areas.
Caring for Your Dental Crown
With proper care, a high-quality dental crown can last for many years. Be sure to floss around your crown daily to prevent plaque buildup and protect the surrounding gums. Avoid teeth grinding, jaw clenching, or chewing on hard foods like ice or candy, as these habits can weaken or damage the crown.
If you are in Newport Beach and looking for expert care and beautifully crafted dental crowns, schedule a visit with Dr. Michael J. Spitzer. He provides personalized restorative and cosmetic dental treatments designed to keep your smile healthy and confident.
