CHERRY STREET DENTAL
Dental Crowns: Comprehensive Tooth Restoration
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover damaged teeth, restoring their strength, function, and appearance. At Cherry Street Dental, we create beautiful, durable crowns for patients throughout Genesee County who need comprehensive tooth restoration.
When Crowns Are Recommended:
Large cavities that compromise tooth structure
Cracked or fractured teeth
Root canal treated teeth needing protection
Severely worn teeth from grinding
Cosmetic improvement of misshapen teeth
Types of Crowns We Offer:
Porcelain Crowns: Natural appearance, ideal for front teeth
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal: Strong and aesthetic for back teeth
Gold Crowns: Extremely durable for posterior teeth
The Crown Process: Creating a crown typically requires two appointments. During the first visit, Dr. Pratt prepares the tooth and takes impressions for the custom crown. You'll receive a temporary crown while your permanent restoration is crafted. At the second appointment, the permanent crown is carefully fitted and cemented in place.
Crown Longevity: With proper care, dental crowns can last 15-20 years or longer. Maintain your crown by practicing excellent oral hygiene, avoiding hard foods that could damage the restoration, and visiting Cherry Street Dental regularly for professional care.
