At J Smiles Dental Implants Studio, we understand that a damaged or weakened tooth can be a significant concern. Our dental crowns provide a reliable and aesthetically pleasing solution for restoring the strength and function of your teeth. Whether due to decay, injury or a previous filling, our crowns are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, ensuring both durability and beauty.

Why Choose Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are versatile restorations that cover a damaged tooth to provide protection and support. They are crafted to match your other teeth, so that your tooth is receiving the necessary support while your overall appearance remains unaffected.

The process of placing a dental crown is straightforward and involves two main visits. During the first visit, we will prepare your tooth by removing any damaged portions and taking impressions to ensure a perfect fit for your crown. The impressions are then sent to a dental laboratory where your custom crown is made. At your follow-up visit, the permanent crown will be fitted and adjusted to ensure optimal comfort and function.

The Benefits of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns offer numerous advantages:

  • Protection: They shield damaged teeth from further harm and restore their structural integrity.
  • Strength: Crowns reinforce weakened teeth, allowing them to withstand normal biting and chewing forces.
  • Aesthetics: With their natural appearance, crowns enhance your smile without drawing attention to the restoration.

Our team is dedicated to providing exceptional care and ensuring that your dental crowns meet the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship.
