Dental Crowns Cincinnati, OH

A custom crown can often help protect or strengthen a tooth that has been damaged or worn down. Also known as a cap, custom-made dental crowns are made to fit snugly over your tooth while matching the color of your smile for a seamless and natural appearance. At MINT dentistry, we offer crowns to protect a weak tooth, treat a large cavity, restore cracked teeth, and cover discolored teeth. Our team uses high-grade porcelain crowns, so your result looks natural. MINT dentistry strives to ensure their patients have the most gorgeous teeth in Cincinnati, OH. Schedule a consultation at our plush dental center to learn more about how a dental crown can restore your smile and oral health.

There are several reasons that a dental crown might be necessary. They can be used to prevent a tooth from breaking when it is weakened by decay, or they can hold parts of a tooth together that have already cracked. Dental crowns can be used to treat a tooth that is damaged or stained, mask a misshapen tooth, or cover a tooth that has received a root canal. Our Cincinnati, OH practitioners also place crowns to treat larger areas of decay, function as part of a dental bridge, or connect to dental implants to replace missing teeth. At MINT dentistry, our dental crowns are made with top-quality materials and placed with state-of-the-art techniques to help make sure you have an attractive, long-lasting restoration.

During your procedure, you will settle into a comfortable treatment chair and be offered a stylish pair of MINT sunglasses to protect your eyes and a pair of Beats headphones to wear to ensure your comfort. To begin, the area to be treated will be numbed with a local anesthetic. Stronger sedation methods may be available if you have anxiety about the process. Once you're comfortable, your MINT dentist will prepare your teeth by eliminating any areas of damage and removing a portion of the enamel, so the dental crown fits well. We will then capture impressions of the treatment area (or a dental implant post), so your crown can be custom-made. A temporary restoration will be placed over your tooth as the dental lab makes your custom crown. When your crown is done, you will need to set up an appointment for placement. The crown will be attached to your dental implant or cemented to your natural tooth. Once the crown is set, your dentist may adjust the fit, so your bite is correct.

Unless stronger sedation is used, once your crown is placed, you should be able to leave and resume regular activities. A member of our team will demonstrate how to care for your porcelain crown, including what food you shouldn't eat and how to clean it properly. In certain instances, we may recommend that you schedule a follow-up appointment and have your dental bite assessed following the placement of a crown to ensure the alignment is correct. During your oral health exam at MINT dentistry in Cincinnati, OH, your dentist will check your restoration and adjust the fit to feel comfortable. Your dentist will let you know when your crown needs to be replaced, but a crown can last for many years with proper care. If you have any issues with your crown (for example, it becomes loose or falls out), contact us immediately. Please do not attempt to put it back in or repair it yourself because this can cause more significant problems, such as an infection or discomfort.

For those with dental insurance, a portion of the cost of a dental crown may be covered. Once we have contacted your insurance, our office can better calculate your remaining bill. During your consultation, your dentist can help you determine the best material for your crown to fit your goals and budget. Our financial coordinator will review payment options, including the MINT discount plan, to make your treatment more affordable. MINT dentistry in Cincinnati, OH is committed to giving all our patients a healthy, attractive smile. Our custom crowns are crafted from high-quality porcelain material so you can feel confident that your smile looks fantastic and your results will last for many years.
