Dental Crowns in Smyrna, GA

A custom crown can help to strengthen and protect a tooth that has been worn down. Also known as a cap, dental crowns are made custom to fit snugly over your tooth while matching the color of your natural teeth for a natural appearance. At MINT dentistry, we offer dental crowns to protect a weak tooth, treat a large cavity, restore cracked teeth, and cover discolored teeth. Our team of board-certified dental professionals uses custom-made porcelain crowns so your result looks natural. MINT dentistry patients have the most gorgeous teeth in Smyrna, GA. Schedule a consultation at our plush dental center to find out more about how a crown can restore your oral health while keeping your smile dazzling.

Crowns are a viable solution for many different circumstances. They can be needed to prevent a tooth from breaking when it is weakened by decay or to hold together a cracked tooth. Crowns can be recommended to fix a tooth that is damaged or dark in color, protect a tooth that is misshapen, or protect teeth that have been treated with root canal therapy. Our Smyrna, GA practitioners also use crowns to treat moderate areas of tooth decay, serve as part of a bridge, or attach to dental implants for tooth replacement. At MINT dentistry, our crowns are made with high-quality materials and set with advanced technologies to help ensure a restoration that lasts a long time and looks beautiful.

To help keep you comfortable during your appointment, we will provide you with a pair of Beats headphones and MINT sunglasses and allow you to sit in one of our luxurious treatment chairs. To begin, the area to be treated will be numbed with a local anesthetic. More sedation methods are available to help you feel more comfortable during the procedure if you have trouble relaxing due to anxieties or dental fears. When you are ready, your MINT dentist will prep the tooth by removing any areas of decay and remove a portion of the enamel so the crown fits seamlessly. We will then take digital impressions of the treatment area (or a dental implant post) to help us design your custom restoration. A temporary cap will be put on to cover your tooth while your custom crown is in production. When your crown is returned to us, you will need to set up an appointment for placement. Then, the restoration will be attached to your dental implant or cemented to your natural tooth. After your crown is set in place, your dentist may adjust the fit so it feels comfortable and matches your natural teeth.

Once your restoration is completed, you are able to continue your day as normal because only local anesthesia is used for the procedure. We will demonstrate the best way to care for your custom crown, including any foods to avoid and the best way to keep it clean. At times, you may need to come back to have your bite checked following the placement of a crown to make sure the alignment is comfortable. During your exams and cleanings at MINT dentistry in Smyrna, GA, we will assess your crown and make sure it feels comfortable. We will let you know when the crown should be repaired or replaced; however, with good care, a crown can last for many years. If you experience any concerns about your crown (e.g., it falls out or feels loose), contact us for help. Don't attempt to fix it or put it back in because this can cause a bad fit or infection.

A portion of the cost of your treatment might be covered if you have dental insurance. We will be able to estimate your out-of-pocket expenses after we speak with your insurance company. After speaking with your insurance company, our office can estimate your out-of-pocket expenses. During your consultation, our practitioners will help you determine the best options for your crown based on your budget. Our business team will also go over payment options, including the MINT Discount Plan, to make your treatment more affordable.
