Restore Your Smile’s Strength and Beauty with Dental Crowns

When a tooth is significantly damaged, cracked, or weakened, it can impact more than just your smile. It can affect your ability to enjoy your favorite foods, make you feel self-conscious, and even put your oral health at risk.

At Scott Dooley Dentistry, we offer a powerful solution: dental crowns. Give us a call to secure your appointment to say goodbye to sensitivity and pain, and give your smile protection that lasts a lifetime.

The Power of a Crown

Think of a dental crown as a custom-crafted shield that protects your natural tooth. This tooth-shaped “cap” is specially designed to fit snugly over the entire visible portion of your tooth, giving complete protection and a beautiful restoration.

Here’s how a crown can transform your smile:

  • Complete Protection: A crown encases your tooth, shielding it from further damage, decay, and giving it the extra protection it needs to stay healthy.

  • Strength and Functionality: By restoring your tooth’s shape and structure, a crown allows you to bite, chew, and speak with confidence again. Imagine enjoying all your favorite foods and smiling through life’s best moments!

  • Beautiful Aesthetics: Crowns are crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, giving you back that confident, radiant smile. In fact, a crown is the “tooth replacement” we use on top of a dental implant to give it a natural look and feel.

  • Long-lasting Durability: With only your daily brushing and flossing routine required, a crown is designed to withstand the daily wear and tear of chewing, providing a long-term solution for your oral health.

If you’re experiencing tooth pain, sensitivity, or have a damaged tooth, a crown might be the ideal solution to restore your smile’s health, beauty, and function!

Inlays: Restoring Core Strength

When damage to a back tooth is too extensive for a filling but doesn’t require a full crown, inlays offer a conservative and effective solution. An inlay is a custom-made restoration that fits precisely within the prepared cavity of the tooth, restoring its core strength and structure. Dr. Dooley may recommend an inlay to repair decay or damage that lies within the cusps (the raised points) of the tooth, preserving more of your natural tooth structure. With the inner strength of your natural tooth restored, you can bite and chew confidently again.
 
 

Onlays: Extending Protection

Onlays are similar to inlays but offer more extensive coverage. An onlay restores the interior of your tooth but extends to cover one or more of the tooth’s cusps, providing a more complete restoration where needed and giving you a strong chewing surface again. This makes them ideal for situations where the damage is more significant than what an inlay can address, but not so severe that a full crown is necessary. It’s all the restoration you need, and nothing you don’t! With our dentist’s steady hands and gentle care, they’ll look and feel as natural as your surrounding teeth and you’d never tell the difference.

What to Expect During Your Visit

The process for getting a crown, inlay, or onlay involves a few simple steps:

  • Initial Examination: Dr. Dooley will do a one-on-one assessment with you, thoroughly examine your tooth, and take any necessary X-rays to get a complete picture of the restoration needed.

  • Tooth Preparation: The tooth is carefully prepared to make room for the restoration. We’ll ensure you’re comfortable and numb during this process.

  • Impressions: We’ll take precise impressions of your tooth to create a custom-made restoration that fits perfectly.

  • Temporary Restoration: For crowns and some onlays, a temporary restoration may be placed while your final restoration is crafted, meaning no “downtime” for your smile while you wait for your restoration to be completed.

  • Placement: Finally, your custom crown, inlay, or onlay will be carefully fitted and bonded to your tooth.
