Dental Crowns in Lilburn, GA

If one tooth is damaged or worn down, it can often be protected and strengthened by a high-quality crown. Sometimes called a cap, custom-made dental crowns are designed to fit over your tooth while matching the shade of your natural teeth for a seamless and natural appearance. MINT dentistry offers crowns to protect a weak tooth, treat a large cavity, restore cracked teeth, and cover discolored teeth. We use high-grade porcelain crowns to keep your smile looking natural. Schedule an appointment at our plush dental center in Lilburn, GA to get more information about how a crown can get you a smile that's healthy and beautiful.

A dental crown can be used in many cases. Dental crowns might be needed to keep a tooth (weakened by decay) from breaking or hold together a cracked tooth. Crowns may be utilized to treat a tooth that is worn down or dark in color, cover teeth that are oddly shaped, or cover root canal-treated teeth. Our Lilburn, GA dentists also use crowns to treat moderate cavities, serve as part of a bridge, and connect to dental implants to replace missing teeth. At MINT dentistry, our crowns are custom made with top-quality porcelain and placed using advanced technology to help ensure a long-lasting result that looks natural and attractive.

After relaxing in one of our luxurious treatment chairs, you'll be given a pair of stylish MINT sunglasses and Beats headphones to help keep you comfortable. First, the area to be treated will be anesthetized. Stronger sedation options may be available if you experience any fears or anxieties. Once you are ready, your MINT dentist will prepare your teeth by eliminating any areas of damage and reduce the enamel structure so the dental crown fits snugly. We will then get impressions of your mouth (or a previously placed dental implant) so your crown can be custom made. A temporary cap will be placed over your tooth while your custom crown is in production. Once your restoration is done, our support staff will schedule a follow-up visit to have it placed. Then, the restoration will be attached to your dental implant or cemented to your natural tooth. After the crown is set in place, we may adjust the fit so it feels comfortable and matches your natural teeth.

As long as stronger sedation wasn't used, you should be able to leave our office as soon as your restoration is set to continue your normal activities. A member of our team will go over the best way to care for your crown, including how to clean it and what food you may need to avoid. In some cases, we may recommend that you come back for a follow-up visit for a bite adjustment following the placement of a crown to make sure the alignment is comfortable. During your oral health exam at MINT dentistry in Lilburn, GA, your dentist will assess your crown and adjust the fit as needed so it feels comfortable. Your dentist will let you know when the crown needs to be replaced; however, with good care, a crown should last for many years. If you experience any issues with your crown (e.g., it becomes loose or falls out), contact our office. Do not try to put it back in or repair it since this can lead to bigger problems, such as an infection or discomfort.

Based on your insurance policy and coverage, some of your costs may be covered. Once we have contacted your insurance company, we can calculate your out-of-pocket expenses. In your consultation, our practitioners will help you determine the best material for your crown based on your budget. A member of our staff will also discuss the payment methods we accept, including the MINT Discount Plan, which can help make your treatment more affordable. MINT dentistry in Lilburn, GA is dedicated to helping each of our patients get a healthy, attractive smile. Our dental restorations are made with high-quality porcelain material so they last a long time and look beautiful.
