Restorative Dentistry
Dental Crowns
When a tooth is not structurally stable because of extensive fillings, tooth decay, or other damage, a crown, also called a cap, can restore stability and function. Tooth-colored crowns will allow you to retain the beauty of an all-white smile.
Dr. Carroll will prepare your tooth for your new crown, take an impression, and place a temporary during your first visit. After your new, custom-made crown is ready, you'll visit us for a second appointment. Dr. Carroll will then remove the temporary and permanently place your final restoration. If you need a restoration that's stronger than a filling, but not necessarily as big as a crown, Dr. Carroll may recommend a lab-made inlay or onlay. These restorations are made of fine dental porcelain or metal, and they restore a tooth's strength and function. Learn more about dental crowns in our patient library.
