Give Teeth the Royal Treatment with Dental Crowns
If you have a large cavity or a deep crack in your tooth, your dentist may be able to repair it with the help of a dental crown. Dental crowns are essentially deluxe fillings that fit over the tooth so that it still looks, feels, and works just like it used to. At Plush Dentistry, we are proud to offer ceramic crowns to our patients. These durable, lifelike restorations blend seamlessly into your smile and provide full chewing capabilities without needing to extract and replace your tooth with a dental implant.

What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a large filling that restores the look and feel of a tooth with excessive damage or decay. You are likely a good candidate for this type of prosthetic if your tooth has a large cavity or injury that while it cannot be fixed with a traditional filling, still has healthy roots.
A dental crown can fix damage including cavities, decay, a large crack, or an infected tooth that requires a
root canal procedure.
The Process of Getting a Dental Crown
Getting a dental crown is easy and can be done right here by your dentist at Plush Dentistry. First, your dentist will take an impression of your tooth for your new crown to be modeled after. Once this is done, they will remove the damaged or decayed area of your tooth so that all that remains is a healthy base. At this time, you will be fitted with a temporary crown to use until your new one returns from the lab. Be careful using your temporary crown when eating, brushing, and flossing.
Once your new crown is ready, you will be scheduled to return to remove the temporary one and secure the new one in place. At Plush Dentistry, we use ceramic crowns custom crafted at a reliable dental laboratory. Because of the highly customized and detailed process of creating your new crown, it is common to take around two weeks for us to receive the final product.
Benefits of Getting a Dental Crown
While nobody wants to need a dental crown, failing to protect your damaged tooth can lead to worsening oral health problems if not treated urgently. Dental crowns offer many important benefits, including:
- Improved comfort
- Restored chewing capabilities
- Protection from extraction or further damage
- The ability to treat multiple oral health problems
- Customizable to match your surrounding teeth
Dental crowns also have the added benefit of easy maintenance. Simply brush and floss just as you normally would, visit your dentist regularly, and be careful to only use your crown to chew food. With proper care, your crown could last up to 15 years.
