Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are customized caps that cover your entire tooth down to the gum line to protect it from bacteria and enhance its function and appearance. Dr. Call will ensure your crown blends seamlessly with your smile for a natural appearance.

Crowns can be used for both cosmetic and restorative purposes. Not only can they shield against cavities, but they can also cover a broken or discolored tooth to give you a stunning smile.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns come with several advantages that make them a preferred cosmetic and restorative treatment. Some benefits of crowns include:

• Quick and minimally invasive procedure
• Protects teeth from cavities and bacteria
• Durable and long-lasting
• Restores teeth’s natural look and function
• Preserves tooth structure
• Quickly enhances smile’s appearance

Our Scottsdale, AZ dentist Dr. Call can use dental crowns to correct several different cosmetic and functional problems, such as teeth that are:

• Chipped, cracked, or broken
• Treated with root canal therapy
• Stained or discolored
• Severely decayed
• Irreparably damaged
• Worn-down or weakened

At Reimage Dental Studio, we’re proud to offer different types of crowns to provide the restoration that’s best for you. The three types of crowns we offer include:

• Porcelain Crowns:Porcelain crowns can be customized to match the shade of your teeth and seamlessly blend with your smile.
• Porcelain Fused to Metal Crowns: These crowns combine the natural appearance of porcelain crowns with the durability of metal crowns.
• Metal Crowns:Metal crowns are more durable than porcelain crowns, and can typically last longer before needing to be replaced.

Initial Consultation

You’ll first attend a consultation with Dr. Call and he’ll evaluate your teeth and oral health to determine if dental crowns are right for you. He’ll also help you decide which type of crown to receive. If necessary, he’ll also discuss your other available treatment options.

Creating Your Crowns

Dr. Call will administer a local anesthetic before beginning the procedure to ensure your experience is virtually painless. We also offer sedation dentistry methods for your convenience. Once the numbness has set in, he’ll begin shaping your tooth for a crown.

Using specialized dental tools, Dr. Call will remove a small portion of your tooth’s enamel to make room for a dental crown to fit naturally and comfortably. He’ll then take a detailed impression of your mouth to send to our dental lab, where they’ll create your customized restorations.

Finally, Dr. Call will place temporary crowns over your teeth to protect them until you return for your final crowns.

Placing Your Crowns

Once we receive your dental crowns from the lab, you’ll return to our Scottsdale, AZ office for your final fitting. Dr. Call will remove your temporary crown before thoroughly cleaning your teeth. He’ll then place your customized crown, making any necessary adjustments to ensure it fits naturally.

Dr. Call will stabilize the crown with a dental-grade adhesive. You’re then ready to showcase your beautiful new smile!
