Dental Crowns Cincinnati, OH

Dental crowns are often used to protect and strengthen a tooth that has been worn down or damaged. Sometimes called a cap, custom-made dental crowns are made to fit snugly over the affected tooth and match the shade of your surrounding teeth for a seamless and natural look. At MINT dentistry, we offer dental crowns to protect a weak tooth, treat a large cavity, cover discoloration, and restore a cracked tooth. We use custom-made porcelain crowns so your results look natural. We love that our patients have the most gorgeous teeth in Cincinnati, OH. Contact us to schedule an appointment at our plush practice to get more information about how a crown can restore your smile and oral health.

Our MINT dental professionals may recommend dental crowns for a variety of reasons. Crowns can be needed 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 may be recommended to improve a tooth that is worn down, mask a tooth that is dark in color, address teeth that are misshapen or cover a tooth that has received a root canal. Our Cincinnati, OH practitioners also place crowns to treat moderate areas of tooth decay, serve as part of a bridge, and connect to dental implants for tooth replacement. At MINT dentistry, our dental crowns are custom-made with top-quality materials and are secured using state-of-the-art techniques to help ensure an attractive, long-lasting restoration.

Once you settle into one of our relaxing massage chairs, we'll give you a pair of stylish MINT sunglasses to shield your eyes and Beat headphones to help you get through your treatment with your favorite music. First, the area to be treated will be anesthetized. More sedation options are available if you experience trouble relaxing due to anxiety or dental fears. When you're ready, your MINT dentist will prep the tooth by eliminating any decay and reducing the enamel structure so your dental crown fits snugly. We will then capture digital impressions of your teeth (or a dental implant post) to help us design your custom restoration. A temporary crown will be used to protect your tooth while your custom crown is in production. When your crown is finished, we will contact you to schedule an appointment for placement. Then, the restoration will be attached to your dental implant or cemented to your natural tooth. Once the crown is set, your dentist will adjust the fit so it feels comfortable and matches your natural teeth.

You should be free to leave our office and carry on with your everyday activities after your treatment, just as long as a stronger sedation option was not used. Your team will teach you the best way to care for your custom crown, including what food you shouldn't eat and how to clean it properly. In some cases, you may need to come back for a follow-up visit and have your dental bite assessed after getting a crown to make sure the alignment is ideal. During your exams and cleanings at MINT dentistry in Cincinnati, OH, a skilled dental professional will check your crown and make sure it feels comfortable. Your dentist will let you know when the crown needs to be repaired or replaced, but with good care, a crown should last for a long time. If you experience any problems with your crown (e.g., it feels loose or gets knocked out), contact us for help. Do not try to put it back in or repair it on your own because this can cause a problem, like an infection or improper fit that affects your bite.

Part of your dental crown treatment may be covered if you have dental insurance. After speaking with your insurance provider, we can better estimate your out-of-pocket expenses. In your consultation, we will help you select the best treatment plan for your crown based on your goals and budget. Our financial coordinator will also go over payment options, including the MINT discount plan, so you can more easily afford your treatment. MINT dentistry in Cincinnati, OH is committed to giving all our patients a healthy, attractive smile. Our custom restorations are crafted from the highest quality materials so they look great and last a long time.
