Dental Crowns

A dental crown resembles a cap on a tooth. Crowns are used by dentists to repair fractured, weak, or decaying teeth. A crown resembles a tight helmet that covers your whole teeth. Before delivering your new crown, Dr Sunkara must remove a small amount of enamel to guarantee a correct fit. Crowns are usually made by dental technicians using a wide range of materials, such as metal, porcelain, and resin.
Tooth decay, wear, or injury can be repaired using dental crowns. Crowns come in several forms and are composed of different materials. The ideal crown type for you will rely on a number of variables, such as your dental health objectives, budget, and personal preferences. While they are strong, crowns are not unbreakable. They will eventually need to be replaced. Frequent dental checkups and appropriate oral hygiene are essential to keep your crown in good condition for years.

Dental crowns are among the most versatile and effective solutions in restorative dentistry. They are custom-made caps that fit over a damaged, decayed or meeting teeth, restoring their shape, size, strength, and appearance. Our Rolling Meadows dentist, Dr Sunkara creates a treatment plan that addresses you specific dental needs which would improve your overall dental health and the aesthetics of your smile.

When Are Dental Crowns Needed?

• • To Protect Weak Teeth: If a tooth is weakened due to decay, large fillings, or fractures, a crown can provide additional support and prevent further damage.
  • To Restore Broken or Damaged Teeth: Whether it’s a cracked tooth or one that has undergone significant damage, a dental crown can cover and protect the remaining tooth structure, restoring its functionality and appearance.
  • To Cover Misshapen or Discolored Teeth: Crowns can also be used for cosmetic purposes, such as covering severely discolored or misshapen teeth, improving the overall symmetry and aesthetics of your smile.
  • To Support Dental Bridges: Dental crowns serve as anchors for dental bridges, helping to bridge the gap created by missing teeth and restoring the function and appearance of your smile.
