Dental Crowns College Park, GA

Teeth that are worn down or damaged can often be strengthened and protected with a full-coverage restoration, or dental crown. Sometimes called a cap, a custom-made dental crown is made to fit snugly over the affected tooth. Crowns are designed to rise from the gumline and match the color of your enamel for a seamless appearance. MINT dentistry offers custom crowns to protect a weak tooth, treat a large cavity, restore cracked teeth, and cover discolored teeth for a natural appearance. Porcelain crowns can also be attached to single dental implants to replace a missing tooth or teeth. We love that our patients have the most stunning smiles in College Park, GA. Schedule an appointment at our luxurious office to learn how a crown might help you enjoy a healthy, beautiful smile.

Crowns may be recommended to prevent a tooth from breaking when it is weakened by decay or to hold parts of a tooth together that have already cracked. These restorations can also be used to improve a tooth that is broken or discolored, cover teeth that are misshapen, or protect teeth that have been treated with root canal therapy. Our College Park, GA practitioners also place crowns to treat moderate areas of decay, serve as part of a bridge, and attach to dental implants for tooth replacement. At MINT dentistry, our crowns are made with high-quality materials and are secured using advanced technology to help ensure an attractive, lasting result.

When you arrive for your visit, you will be seated in one of our luxurious treatment chairs. We will give you a pair of stylish MINT sunglasses to wear and Beats headphones to enjoy to help you feel at ease during your procedure. Next, the treatment area will be anesthetized. Sedation dentistry options are available if you experience any fears or anxieties. When you are ready, your MINT dentist will prepare your tooth by eliminating any areas of decay or damage and filing it down so your custom crown fits seamlessly. Our team will then capture digital impressions of your tooth (or a dental implant post) so your crown can be custom made. A temporary crown will be used to protect your tooth while your custom crown is in production. When your new crown is ready, our support staff will schedule a follow-up visit so that you can have it placed. The restoration will be attached securely to your dental implant or cemented to your natural tooth. Once your crown is set, your dentist may adjust the fit so it feels comfortable.

You can generally go about your normal daily activities following a crown placement unless certain sedation methods were used. We will go over the best way to care for your dental crown, including how to clean it and any foods you may need to avoid. At times, you may need to schedule a follow-up appointment and have your dental bite assessed following the placement of a crown to ensure the alignment is ideal. During your exams and cleanings at MINT dentistry in College Park, GA, a skilled dental professional will monitor the condition of your restoration and oral health. Your dentist will let you know when the crown needs to be replaced; however, with good care, a crown can last for years. If you have any concerns about your crown (e.g., it falls out or feels loose), contact our office for help. Do not attempt to put it back in or repair it yourself since this can cause bigger problems, such as tooth damage or discomfort.

A portion of the cost of your crown may be covered under your dental insurance plan. Once we have contacted your insurance, our office can better estimate your out-of-pocket expenses. During your consultation, we will help you select the best material for your crown based on your needs and budget. Our business team will also go over the payment methods we accept, including the MINT Discount Plan, which can help make it easier for patients to afford their care. MINT dentistry in College Park, GA is committed to helping every individual get an attractive smile. Our custom crowns are made with the highest quality materials available to the dental industry.
