Protect Damaged Teeth with Our Dental Crowns in Colorado Springs
At Gleneagle Dental, we take pride in providing top-quality dental crowns in Colorado Springs, thanks to the exceptional skills of Dr. Wonnacott. With his passion for lab work and personal dental lab, Dr. Wonnacott ensures that every crown is crafted with precision, guaranteeing the best materials and a perfect fit.
What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown, sometimes referred to as a cap, is a restoration that covers the entire visible portion of a tooth. Unlike fillings that only address a small area, a crown encases the whole tooth, providing a protective shell that strengthens and restores the tooth's function and appearance. Our dental crowns in Colorado Springs are commonly used when a tooth is extensively damaged or decayed beyond what a filling can repair. They are essential for restoring a tooth to its original shape and function, particularly for broken or heavily damaged teeth.
Crowns can be made from various materials, but most commonly, they include porcelain or a porcelain-metal blend to mimic the look and feel of natural teeth. This blend ensures that the crown not only provides durability but also blends seamlessly with your existing teeth.
How It’s Done
The process for placing a dental crown typically involves two visits to Gleneagle Dental. During the first visit, Dr. Wonnacott will prepare your tooth by reshaping it to ensure a proper fit for the crown. This may involve removing a portion of the tooth's structure. After reshaping, he will take an impression of the tooth using advanced techniques. Unlike many practices that send this impression to an external lab, Dr. Wonnacott utilizes his own in-house dental lab to create your crown. This hands-on approach ensures that your crown is crafted with the utmost precision and quality.
In the interim, a temporary crown will be placed to protect your tooth until your permanent crown is ready. When you return to Gleneagle Dental, Dr. Wonnacott will remove the temporary crown and place the new permanent one. He will meticulously check the fit and color to ensure it aligns with your natural teeth before cementing it in place. Dr. Wonnacott stands behind his work, guaranteeing that the crown will meet your highest expectations.
