CEREC Same Day Crowns

What is Dental Crown?

Crowns are natural-looking teeth shaped "cap" that are placed over your teeth entirely to restore their shape, size, strength and to improve appearance. There are several kinds of dental crowns. Stainless Crown is typically prescribed for baby teeth. For adult teeth, you have options such as gold crown, porcelain-fused metal crown, all ceramic crown. All ceramic crowns are the most esthetically acceptable, especially on your front teeth. Our cosmetic dentist, Dr. Park only practices All-ceramic crown or gold crown except for special occasions such as Implant-Supported Crowns.

When do I need one?                   

Dental crowns are needed when teeth have been compromised due to fracture, chip or large caries.

When you have big caries on a tooth needing a root canal treatment, the only way to save your tooth is to go through root canal first and crown later. 

if you have a large filling on a tooth, especially the silver one, it can be indicated for full coverage crown to protect the tooth from fracture. You will be able to see lots of small or large fracture lines around the tooth. It is just one bite away to break your teeth if your teeth have been compromised. This is why your teeth break while you are eating salad or chips. The photo here indicates a "fortunate" tooth fracture since there is still enough tooth structure left to save but it could have been much worse.

At times, there are occasions you want to replace your existing crowns as well. If you are a grinder at night and have a porcelain fused metal crown on your tooth, porcelain portion might have been chipped off from the crown. When the area happens to be located between teeth, it may cause food trap easily, which leads to gum disease or recurrent caries rapidly. You experience your crown fracture, call us immediately to figure out you need to replace it or not!

Also, some crowns are just ugly! Or your gum next to the crown is getting dark!
