If your tooth is damaged, our dentists may recommend restoring it with a dental crown. Using CEREC technology and the Empress® restoration system, Dr. Lisha Shrestha can complete your crown and fully restore your smile in just one appointment! Give us a call to learn more about dental crowns in White Plains, New York, and schedule your consultation at Everest Dental PC.
A dental crown is a versatile restoration that our dentists can use to address a number oral health concerns, both on its own and as part of a larger restorative treatment, such as a root canal therapy or implant restoration. Most commonly, our team will recommend a dental crown to restore and protect a tooth that has faced significant damage or decay. In these cases, the dental crown is designed to fit comfortably over the entire damaged tooth, covering all visible portions, in order to restore the tooth to its preferred size, shape and color. While dental crowns can be made of gold or porcelain fused with metal, we recommend porcelain material, which matches both the natural color and translucency of tooth enamel, helping ensure the crown fits aesthetically, as well as functionally in your mouth.
We may recommend a dental crown to fulfill any of the following goals:
- Protect a tooth after root canal therapy
- Anchor a dental bridge into place
- Replace a missing tooth via dental implant
- Correct a misshapen tooth
- Strengthen a weakened or fractured tooth
- Support a restored tooth when little natural material remains
