When considering dental crowns in Long Beach, CA, you may think of post root canal therapy or remedies for tooth damage. Today, dental crowns play many roles in dentistry and are even used cosmetically.
In this blog, I discuss dental crowns and their use in dentistry, with a special emphasis on cosmetics.
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are custom covers cemented over dental implant abutments or prepared teeth. They are shaped and colored to look like your natural teeth.
In my dental practice, we offer same-day dental crowns. Our onsite lab means we can take digital impressions and then design and print your restoration while you wait. These same-day crowns in Long Beach are made of quality porcelain!
How I Use Dental Crowns in Dentistry
I commonly use a dental crown to support a weak tooth following injury or root canal treatment. It’s a way to support the at-risk tooth.
Additionally, I may use a dental crown for tooth replacement, to secure a dental bridge, or to cap a dental implant post.
Finally, dental crowns work beautifully in cosmetic dentistry.
Dental Crowns in Cosmetic Dentistry
At Golden Coast Dental Care in Long Beach, my team and I offer a wide range of cosmetic dentistry options, including:
- Dental veneers
- Tooth-colored restorations
- Dental bonding
- Professional teeth whitening
- Tooth replacement
- Invisalign®
Dental crowns fall under the tooth-colored restoration category. I can use a dental crown to conceal or correct a cosmetic flaw in this case.
Because dental crowns cover treated teeth to the gumline, they can hide all general flaws, but they can also lengthen short teeth, close small smile gaps, hide discoloration, and leave you with a beautiful smile.
