What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns, often referred to as “caps,” are custom-made restorations designed to cover damaged or weakened teeth. They protect and restore the tooth's shape, size, and function while blending seamlessly with your natural smile. Whether you have a cracked tooth, large cavity, or a tooth that has undergone a root canal, dental crowns offer a durable and aesthetic solution.

At Bolduc Dental, we craft crowns with precision using advanced materials that mimic the appearance of natural teeth. Each crown is tailored to fit comfortably, ensuring long-lasting protection for your smile.

When Do You Need a Dental Crown?

A dental crown may be the best solution for:

• Cracked or Broken Teeth: Restore strength and appearance.

• Severely Decayed Teeth: Protect and preserve functionality.

• Root Canal Treatments: Reinforce the tooth after treatment.

• Cosmetic Enhancements: Cover discolored or misshapen teeth.

• Dental Implants: Complete the implant restoration process.

How the Dental Crown Process Works

At Bolduc Dental, we make the dental crown process straightforward and comfortable:

1. Consultation: We examine your teeth, discuss your needs, and explain the process.

2. Preparation: The tooth is reshaped to accommodate the crown, and impressions are taken for a precise fit.

3. Temporary Crown: A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while your custom crown is being crafted.

4. Final Placement: The custom crown is securely bonded, giving you a restored, natural-looking smile.
