Dental Crowns at Padden Dental
At Padden Dental in Vancouver, WA, we specialize in dental crowns to restore damaged, decayed, or worn teeth, enhancing both function and aesthetics.
A dental crown is a custom-made “cap” cemented onto a natural tooth or dental implant to protect it and restore its shape, strength, and appearance. With our advanced CEREC technology, we offer same-day crowns, providing a convenient, high-quality solution in a single visit.
Crowns are recommended for:
- Teeth with large cavities or fillings that weaken the tooth structure.
- Cracked, chipped, or fractured teeth. Teeth worn down from grinding (bruxism).
- Root canal-treated teeth requiring protection.
- Cosmetic improvements for badly stained or misshapen teeth.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
Dental crowns offer multiple advantages for your oral health and smile:
- Restored Function: Crowns strengthen teeth, allowing you to chew and bite comfortably.
- Enhanced Appearance: Custom-designed to match your natural teeth, crowns improve your smile’s aesthetics.
- Long-Lasting Protection: Crowns shield teeth from further decay, cracks, or damage.
- Same-Day Convenience: With CEREC technology, Padden Dental crafts and places crowns in one visit, eliminating temporary crowns and multiple appointments.
The Dental Crown Process at Padden Dental
At Padden Dental, we prioritize your comfort and efficiency. Our crown process includes:
- Evaluation: We examine your tooth and jaw, using low dose digital X-rays to assess the tooth’s root, bone, and gum tissue for precise treatment planning.
- Preparation: After administering local anesthesia for comfort, we gently reshape the tooth to accommodate the crown. The amount of reshaping depends on the crown type.
- Impression and Creation: Using CEREC’s advanced digital imaging, we create a precise 3D model of your tooth. Our in-office CEREC system mills a custom crown from high-quality ceramic in minutes.
- Placement: The permanent crown is bonded securely to your tooth, restoring function and appearance in a single visit.
Unlike traditional crowns, which require multiple visits and temporary crowns, our CEREC technology streamlines the process for your convenience.
