Dental Crowns Restore Your Damaged Teeth

Our teeth are strong, but cracks, chips, and damage still happen, leaving your teeth vulnerable to decay, less functional, and not as perfect as we'd like them to look.

If injury, decay, or an accident have left you with a broken tooth, Dr. Robert Cudia of Trust Dental Group in Atlanta, GA, can repair your smile with dental crowns, the effective, attractive, and efficient treatment for your damaged tooth.

What are dental crowns?

Dental crowns serve as caps for damaged teeth and are made from resin, ceramic, or metal. Crowns improve the aesthetics of your tooth by concealing damage and promote the health of your tooth by preventing decay from infiltrating the damaged area and spreading to the surrounding teeth. By restoring the structure of your tooth, a dental crown will help you bite, chew, and brush with ease.

What can a dental crown repair?

Dental crowns can fix a number of issues, including chips, cracks, worn down teeth, misshapen teeth, severely discolored teeth, cavities that can't be properly filled, or fillings that are uneven.

What is the procedure for a dental crown?

At our Atlanta, GA, office, your dentist will numb your tooth and gum area before using a small dental drill to smooth away some of the surfaces of your tooth to make room for the crown. An impression of your tooth will be taken in order to create a custom crown, which will be attached to your tooth with a permanent adhesive. Your dentist will make any necessary adjustments to ensure your crown matches the shape and size of your natural tooth, and ensure that you can bite down properly and comfortably.
