Types of Dental Crowns
At Southwest Dental Center, Dr. Eric Snyder offers a variety of dental crowns to meet your needs. Crowns are a type of dental restoration that covers the entire visible surface of a tooth and can be used to protect a tooth from further damage, cover a dental implant, or restore a broken or decayed tooth.
At Southwest Dental Center, Dr. Eric Snyder provides several types of crowns, including porcelain fused to metal, all-porcelain, and zirconia crowns. Porcelain fused to metal crowns are metal crowns with porcelain fused to the outside, providing strength and durability with a natural-looking esthetic. All-porcelain crowns are made entirely out of porcelain, providing a natural-looking result with excellent esthetics. Zirconia crowns are made from a strong ceramic material that is highly resistant to wear and tear and provides a very natural-looking result.
Dr. Eric Snyder will work with you to determine the best type of crown to meet your needs and provide you with outstanding care and service. To learn more about the types of crowns available at Southwest Dental Center, please contact us today.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are a versatile and effective way to restore damaged teeth. At Southwest Dental Center in Fort Wayne, IN, Dr. Eric Snyder offers dental crowns to help patients regain a healthy and attractive smile. Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that are placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength. Crowns can also be used to improve the appearance of a tooth by covering discoloration or to protect a weakened tooth from further damage.
Crowns are made from durable materials such as porcelain, ceramic, and metal alloys that are designed to last for many years. With proper care, dental crowns can last up to 15 years or more. Crowns can also be used to support a dental bridge and can help to correct misaligned teeth. Crowns are a great option for improving the appearance of your smile and restoring your oral health.
Preparation for Dental Crowns
At Southwest Dental Center, Dr. Eric Snyder is an experienced dentist who specializes in the preparation of dental crowns. Dr. Snyder understands that the process of preparing a dental crown can be a bit intimidating, so he takes the time to explain the process and answer any questions his patients may have.
The process begins with a thorough examination of the tooth and surrounding area to determine if a crown is the best option. If needed, a local anesthetic may be used to ensure the patient is comfortable during the procedure. After the tooth is properly prepared, an impression is taken and sent to a lab for fabrication. The final step is attaching the crown to the tooth, and Dr. Snyder takes the time to ensure the crown fits perfectly and looks natural.
At Southwest Dental Center, Dr. Eric Snyder is committed to providing the highest quality of care for all of his patients. With his expertise in the preparation of crowns, patients can feel confident that they are in good hands.
