Dental Crowns
Are missing teeth affecting your confident smile? Are damaged or decaying teeth causing you pain?
A dental crown is a custom-fitted prosthetic that can restore your damaged tooth or complete your smile.
Dr. Scott Azari can expertly fit and place your dental crowns in his Port St. Lucie, FL, office to get you back to smiling confidently.
What Is a Dental Crown?
/
A dental crown is a custom-fitted cap that covers a tooth down to the gumline. Traditional crowns are used to restore damaged or decaying teeth. If your dentist is unable to save a tooth or you're already missing a tooth, a crown can be used to top a dental implant. Implants are small posts that are embedded into the jaw. The lifelike restorations even have applications in cosmetic dentistry.
How Is a Dental Crown Placed?
The natural tooth is first reshaped to accommodate the crown. The dental crown is custom-made to fit securely and comfortably over the remaining natural tooth.
What Types of Dental Problems Can Crowns Fix?
We will determine whether you need a crown during a free consultation at our Port St. Lucie office. There, our dentist will review the health of your teeth and gums and discuss your concerns and goals.
Damage or Decay
A dental crown can restore and protect a damaged or decaying tooth before it leads to more serious oral health concerns.
Root Canal
If a decaying tooth needs to be treated with a root canal, a dental crown can be placed to protect the remaining healthy tissue.
Missing Teeth
A crown can replace a single missing tooth with the support of a dental implant.
The Benefits Of Dental Crowns
Increased Confidence
A damaged, decaying, or missing tooth can impact the appearance of your smile. A dental crown is indistinguishable from your surrounding teeth, giving you a natural, beautiful-looking smile.
Restored Bite
Severely damaged or missing teeth can cause your bite to become misaligned. This can lead to more serious issues like temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). A dental crown can realign your bite and take the added stress off of your TMJs.
Improved Oral Health
If left untreated, a decaying tooth can cause infection, pain, and tooth loss. A dental crown can prevent your decaying tooth from progressing into a more serious oral health concern.
Restore a Tooth With a Dental Crown
Dr. Azari explains how a dental crown can benefit patients who have undergone root canal therapy or have experienced trauma or other damage to a tooth. A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cover that protects the tooth structure and acts as a prosthetic tooth. A dental crown can also be paired with a dental implant to replace a single missing tooth.

We use only the most lifelike, long-lasting materials for our crowns.
Dental Crown vs. Dental Bridge What's the Difference?
A traditional dental crown is an effective solution to repair a single tooth that does not need to be extracted. A dental bridge is used to fill the space left by a missing tooth. A traditional dental bridge is secured by the surrounding teeth (abutment teeth) so unlike an implant-supported dental crown, is not self-supporting.
