Dentist in Hudson, WI
At Kell Dental Arts, our family dentist can use a crown to address several different problems with your smile. Dr. David Kell may suggest a crown to preserve the health and even the appearance of one or more of your teeth. If you would like to schedule a visit for an appointment for a zirconia dental crown in Hudson, Wisconsin, call 715-386-9711 and speak with one of our team members.
Also known as dental caps, dental crowns are a versatile restorative treatment recommended for teeth that have been damaged by decay or injury. The crown fits over the entire visible portion of a restored tooth, giving our dentist a chance to correct the size or shape of the tooth while also protecting it from future damage. When used in conjunction with other treatments, such as a root canal, dental bridge or dental implants in Hudson, crowns can restore or replace severely damaged teeth. On their own, they are often used to:
- Restore a tooth whose damage is too extensive to be corrected with a filling or onlay
- Strengthen a tooth that is cracked, fractured or weakened by decay
- Support a tooth with a large filling
- Improve the size or shape of a tooth
- Enhance the appearance of your teeth and smile
On average, a dental crown takes two appointments to complete. At Kell Dental Arts, however, our dentist can harness CEREC same-day technology to finish your dental crown treatment in a single visit to our office. In either case, the treatment begins with our team taking digital impressions of the affected tooth and using that information to create a custom-designed dental crown, which will eventually be fitted and bonded into place in your smile. While crowns can be created from a number of dental materials, porcelain is the most popular, as it naturally matches the color, translucency and durability of a natural tooth.
