Who needs a dental crown?
A dental filling or onlay fills a “hole” in your tooth. In contrast, dental crowns provide full coverage, making them suitable for extensive tooth damage.
You may need a dental crown to:
- Repair significant damage: You may need a dental crown if a significant portion of the tooth has been severely damaged by trauma or decay.
- Strengthen a weakened tooth: A dental crown provides full coverage, reinforcing a tooth weakened by a root canal or trauma.
- Enhance aesthetics: The dentist may use a dental crown to enhance the appearance of a discolored or uneven tooth.
- Replace a large filling: A traditional filling may be ineffective if it’s too large or worn out. In such cases, we can use a dental crown to replace the filling and provide the much-needed strength.
- Replace a missing tooth: Dental crowns can be combined with a bridge to fill the gap left by a missing tooth. The results are so realistic that no one will realize your replacement tooth is artificial!
Dr. Fairlee combines premium materials with artistic skills to provide some of the finest dental crowns in Bend, Oregon, and the surrounding areas. We deliver functional, natural-looking crowns that last many years.
My dentist says I need a core buildup—what is it?
Before placing a crown on a natural tooth, your dentist might recommend a core buildup. This step helps strengthen and support the tooth structure beneath the crown, especially if the natural tooth has been severely damaged or decayed.
A core buildup acts as reinforcement, providing a solid foundation for the crown to be attached. If Dr. Fairlee mentions a core buildup, it’s to ensure your restoration lasts for years and functions like a natural tooth.
What are the benefits of dental crowns?
Dental crowns come with a long list of benefits, including.
- Enhanced chewing ability: A crown repairs damage, helping you chew more efficiently.
- Improved comfort: With a crown, you no longer have to speak or chew with pain or sensitivity.
- Long-lasting solution: Our crowns are crafted from high-strength materials. They can last up to 15 years with good upkeep.
- Improved confidence: Our dental crowns deliver veneer-like results, helping you achieve the best version of yourself. Smile, laugh, and speak without feeling self-conscious about your tooth.
- Prevent tooth loss: A dental crown helps you preserve your natural tooth, avoiding costly replacements.Â
