Great dental crowns are a combination of science and art. The team of professionals at Diamond Dental skillfully blends the two to give their patients smiles that feel, function, and look like a masterpiece.

A dental crown is an artificial tooth cap that’s permanently fitted on top of an existing root structure, like a dental implant or a natural tooth root.
Unlike a veneer, which only covers the front surface of your tooth, a crown covers the entirety of your tooth above the gumline, where it can restore, reinforce, or replace a tooth that’s damaged, decayed, unsightly, or missing.
The team at Diamond Dental can cap your tooth in 2-3 office visits. First, your dentist numbs your tooth and the surrounding tissue with a local anesthetic, then uses a drill to shave off some enamel to make room for the crown.
Next, your dentist takes an impression of your tooth with either a digital scanner or dental putty. The impression is sent off to a lab, where your crown is designed to fit in seamlessly with your smile and comfortably with your bite.
Your dentist fits you with a temporary crown while you wait for your permanent restoration to come back from the lab.
Once your permanent crown is back from the lab, you come in for another visit. Your dentist places the crown, checks that the fit is good, and finally seals it with a resin that hardens upon exposure to a special light.
Your crown can be cared for just like the rest of your natural teeth. Just make sure to brush and floss daily and maintain regular cleaning appointments and exams with the team at Diamond Dental.
Don’t wait any longer to restore your smile. Schedule your dental crown consultation today by calling the office at (203) 794-7668 or booking online.
