Dental Crowns Specialist in Las Vegas, NV

A dental crown is an artificial tooth-shaped “hat” that can be placed on teeth that are damaged or recently restored to help protect them. This not only safeguards the tooth, but restores its look, size, and health. In addition, dental crowns are made of a durable, synthetic material that can be color-matched to your natural teeth for a streamlined aesthetic. 

There are many reasons why your dental practitioner may suggest performing a dental crown. They include: 

• Covering a discolored tooth. 
• Covering and protecting a dental implant. 
• Keeping a dental bridge in place. 
• Protecting a fragile tooth from breaking. 
• Protecting a tooth with a filling, especially if that filling is large. 
• Protecting a tooth that has undergone a root canal.  
• Restoring a broken tooth. 
• Restoring a worn-down tooth. 
• To safeguard a cracked or chipped tooth. 

Your dentist will provide more insight into why you may need a crown and if any alternatives are available. 

If you require a dental crown, know that you’re getting a procedure that hosts a wide variety of benefits. Here is a comprehensive list of the pros associated with getting a dental crown: 

• It will help restore your smile and your confidence. 
• The procedure is simple.  
• There is very little recovery/downtime. 
• They are custom-made to fit your tooth perfectly and to color-match your natural teeth.  
• They can instantly correct chips, cracks, discoloration, staining, fractures, and misshapen teeth. 
• They can last for 10-20 years when properly maintained. 
• Treatments are individualized to suit your unique needs, preferences, and budget.

Dental crowns allow patients to resume their normal oral hygiene routine almost immediately, usually after the first day. However, for the first few weeks following your treatment, it’s recommended that you steer clear from hard and crunchy food to give your crown time to fully set. After this, you’re free to resume your normal eating patterns.  

Your dentist will provide a full oral examination and review your medical history to make sure a crown is the right treatment option for you. 

The longevity of a crown depends on the type that is installed, how well you take care of it in the long term, your commitment to routine oral hygiene, and how much wear and tear the crown is exposed to. The typical lifespan of a crown can be anywhere from ten to twenty years, with some lasting longer and others needing to be replaced earlier.  

To safeguard your crown and the root underneath it, make sure that you’re following the oral hygiene practices laid out by your doctor.
