Crowns

Over time our teeth begin to weaken and become more susceptible to problems such as decay, cracks, discoloration and others. If you feel your smile isn’t what it once was, crowns can help you recover your smile. If your dentist notices that a tooth is decayed or seems weakened/cracked a crown may be necessary to make sure that there are no additional problems with the tooth. In cases like this a filling or bonding will not be sufficient.

Crowns can be made from porcelain, porcelain fused to metal, or a full gold crown. To maintain a natural look and feel a porcelain finished crown is best, as it can be matched to the shade of your other teeth. This will allow it to blend in and appear just like one of your natural teeth.

The process of installing a crown takes 2-3 visits to the dentist. On the first visit the tooth will be reshaped by filing down the enamel so that the crown can be placed over it. You will be given a local anesthetic before this part of the procedure so that you do not experience any discomfort. Once the tooth has been reshaped, a mold will be taken of that tooth and the surrounding teeth. This mold will be sent to a dental lab so that your new crown can be made so that it fits in the spot created for it and looks the same relative to the surrounding teeth. Before leaving, your dentist will fit you with a temporary crown until your permanent crown is ready.

The crown takes about 2-3 weeks to be returned to your dentist. At this time you will have another appointment to place and fit the permanent crown. You will again have a local anesthetic to numb the area and the tooth will be placed using a cement to ensure the tooth sets in place. When you look in the mirror, you will see your old smile back. Crowns are durable and will usually last about 10-15 years. You should care for it as you would any of your other teeth with regular brushing and flossing.

She was extremely thorough and was one of the kindest Doctors I’ve ever been to and answered all of my questions thoroughly and was very patient. I highly recommend her services !"

  • "I have been going here since I was a little girl. I stopped while I was in the Marine Corps, but now that I have finished my time in service I needed a dentist again. So I chose to go back to what felt comfortable! I was originally always seen by Dr. Nelson Sanders, but now his daughter has come into the family business and she took good care of me. I am glad that I will continue seeing a dentist that I feel comfortable and safe with!"

  • "Both Lindsey and Dr. Sanders are amazing! I went to them after being told elsewhere I was going to need over 10k in dental work. They worked with me to make a plan that made better sense and was way more affordable. I have always HATED going to the dentist, but these two, and their nurse Michelle, are the best around. I'm so glad I found them and their practice."
    Abby W.
  • "I was searching for a new dentist to go to and found Dr. Sanders through online searching and decided to check them out. I already went through a cleaning and a couple of fillings and a deep clean in one area that I had sensitivity, and after receiving that care and getting to know both Lindsey and Nelson Sanders, these guys are really awesome and love the work they do. Everyone is so professional and loving and caring and they do absolutely wonderful dental work. I would recommend this place to anyone."
