Expertly Fitted Dental Crowns in Port St. Lucie, FL

Restore Your Smile

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 Port St. Lucie at Lucie Dental to get you back to smiling confidently.

What Is a Dental Crown?

About The Procedure

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 Problems Can Dental Crowns Fix?

We will determine whether you need a dental 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 dental 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.

Durable, Lifelike Dental Crowns

IPS e.max®

IPS e.max® dental crowns are made of slightly translucent, highly durable ceramic. IPS e.max crowns are more durable than porcelain crowns and, with proper care, can last 15 years or more. With their slightly translucent properties, they match your surrounding teeth better than their porcelain counterparts. They are gaining popularity in cosmetic dentistry because of these unique attributes.

Zirconia

Zirconia crowns are made from a very durable ceramic material called zirconium dioxide. These Dental crowns are especially useful for your back teeth because of their durability and strength. They are also preferred for back molars as they are not as easy to match to your natural teeth as e.max or porcelain crowns. However, their strength is similar to that of metal crowns.

The Procedure Placing Your Dental Crown

The first step is to request a free consultation at our Port St. Lucie, FL, office. There, our dentist will evaluate your oral health and determine if crowns are the dental solution for you. At our practice in Port St. Lucie Dental Crowns are crafted using exclusively the most lifelike, long-lasting materials.

Tooth Reshaping

To begin, our dentist will start by removing the damaged portion of your tooth. Then he will reshape the remaining, healthy tooth to secure the dental crown.

Crown Preparation

Our dentist will take a digital impression of your teeth using the iTero® scanner. This scanner provides quick, colorized images of your teeth. From these impressions, your custom-fitted dental crown can be made.

Temporary Crown

Your permanent dental crowns will need to be fabricated at an off-site lab, which can take around two weeks. During that time, you will be fitted with a temporary crown to help protect the reshaped tooth. Your dentistry professional will give you a list of foods to avoid while wearing your temporary crown.

Permanent Crown

Once the dental crown has been made, you will return to our Port St. Lucie office for placement. Your permanent crown is secured to your natural tooth using dental cement.

Smile Restoration

There is no downtime after the permanent dental crown is placed. You can leave our office smiling with confidence.

How To Get the Most Out Of Your Dental Crowns

At our office in Port St. Lucie Dental Crowns are crafted from durable dental materials and, with proper care, can endure for over a decade. It is important to follow your dental professional's care instructions to ensure your crowns last.

Dietary Choices

Avoiding excessively hard or sticky foods is important in maintaining the health of your dental crowns. If you do choose to eat these foods, it is best to chew on the side opposite of your dental restoration as they can chip, crack, or dislodge your crown.

Dental Hygiene

Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial in extending the lifespan of your dental crown. Healthy teeth and gums are what keep the dental crown secure. Brushing twice daily and flossing once daily will need to be continued after your dental restoration.

Routine Care

Routine dental care is another crucial aspect in maintaining the health of your teeth and gums and the longevity of your dental crown. You should come to our Port St. Lucie office for a dental checkup and cleaning twice a year to maintain your oral health.

Tooth Protection

If you suffer from teeth grinding (bruxism), it is best to wear a nightguard to protect your dental crown from excessive wear. You should also avoid biting your nails, chewing on ice, or opening any packaging with your teeth as this can damage your dental restoration.

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.
