Dental Crowns In Sacramento

WHAT ARE DENTAL CROWNS?


Dental crowns, often referred to as ‘caps’, play a pivotal role in restorative dentistry. They provide a sturdy cover for a damaged or decayed tooth, restoring its original size, shape, and function. At Make A Smile Dental, we pride ourselves on utilizing advanced CEREC technology for the creation of these crowns. Crafted from durable, high-quality ceramic, these crowns closely mimic the appearance and resilience of natural teeth, bringing back your smile’s appearance and function.

WHEN DO KIDS NEED DENTAL CROWNS?


Just like adults, children may also require dental crowns for a variety of reasons. The application of dental crowns in pediatric dentistry often revolves around these common scenarios:

  1. Severe Tooth Decay: If a child’s tooth has extensive decay that a regular filling cannot fix, a dental crown may be necessary to save the tooth and prevent the spread of decay.
  2. Damage or Trauma: Accidents and falls are common in childhood. If a tooth gets chipped or broken significantly, a dental crown can help restore its shape, function, and appearance.
  3. Developmental Conditions: Some children might have developmental conditions that affect tooth enamel. In such cases, crowns may be needed to protect the teeth from further damage and sensitivity.
  4. Premature Primary Teeth Loss: If a child loses primary teeth too early due to decay or trauma, a stainless steel crown might be used as a space maintainer to hold the place for the permanent tooth.

At Make A Smile Dental, we understand that children’s dental needs are unique. Our friendly and experienced team takes extra care to ensure a comfortable and positive experience for our young patients. We use advanced CEREC technology to create high-quality ceramic crowns that not only protect your child’s teeth but also maintain the natural aesthetics of their smile. Every treatment plan is tailored to the specific needs of the child, ensuring their oral health is taken care of as they grow and develop.

MAKE A SMILE OFFERS SAME-DAY CEREC CROWNS


Make A Smile Dental is proud to offer advanced CEREC technology for dental crowns. CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is a state-of-the-art system that allows us to design, create, and place high-quality ceramic crowns all in a single appointment.

The CEREC system uses 3D scanning to create a precise digital model of your tooth. This model is then used to mill a custom-fit crown from a block of high-quality ceramic, perfectly matched to the color of your surrounding teeth. This efficient process eliminates the need for temporary crowns or return visits for crown placement, saving you time and ensuring a more comfortable experience.
