Dental Crowns Reno
Give Damaged Teeth the Royal Treatment
While traditional tooth-colored dental fillings can repair small cracks and damaged areas of enamel, for more extensive decay, durable, lifelike dental crowns in Reno may be a better option. These restorations are completely customized to look just like your real teeth and can even withstand full biteforce, so you won’t need to alter your diet. Best of all, with proper care they can last for 15+ years, protecting the underlying tooth from damage and allowing you to avoid more invasive procedures like extractions.

What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a prosthetic tooth restoration that fits over a damaged or decayed tooth like a crown or cap. It is custom made to both look and feel realistic, so it doesn’t stand out when you open your mouth to eat, speak, or smile. If you have a tooth that has sustained excessive decay, a deep crack, or a large cavity that cannot be repaired with a traditional filling, a dental crown in Reno could be the solution.
The Process of Getting a Dental Crown
To get a dental crown, your dentist will first need to take impressions of the damaged tooth using our fast, comfortable digital impression system. These impressions will then be sent to a dental lab, where your restoration will be crafted to look as close as possible to the tooth it is restoring, down to the exact shade of white. Dental crowns in Reno can be made of a variety of natural looking and feeling materials such as zirconia, a type of porcelain.
Your tooth will then be reshaped, removing the damaged portions of enamel, and you will be fitted with a temporary crown to wear until your permanent restoration is delivered from the dental lab. Then, in about two weeks, you’ll return to Smile Design Implant Centers to have the temporary crown removed and the permanent crown placed, where it can protect your smile for 15+ years with proper care.
Benefits of Getting a Dental Crown
Unfortunately, unlike the other parts of your body, when you fail to protect a damaged tooth, it cannot repair itself. In fact, if left untreated, the problem will only get worse. Conversely, when you restore it with a durable, lifelike dental crown, you’ll not only prevent future damage, but you'll also restore its appearance and function all the while alleviating dental pain.
Your new dental crown is made from natural looking and feeling materials and can be completely customized to match the color of your surrounding teeth, so nobody will ever know you’ve had repairs. Plus, with routine oral hygiene practices including brushing twice a day and flossing daily, your new crown could last for 15 or more years!
