Understanding the Role of Dental Crowns

A crown is a precisely shaped cap that completely covers an imperfect tooth, strengthening its form and restoring its beauty and function. Crowns are constructed from materials such as zirconia, porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM), or all-ceramic, selected to blend with your natural tooth color and anatomic shape. Crowns are best applied when teeth are severely decayed, broken, worn, or otherwise compromised, particularly after a root canal or large filling has been performed.

Crowns defend weakened teeth, prevent further damage, and restore normal functioning. At Lavo Dental, we prioritize both durability and aesthetics, ensuring your crown supports speech and bite mechanics while blending discreetly with adjacent teeth.

Common Dental Issues Addressed with Crowns

We apply dental crowns to treat several issues, such as:

• Severe decay weakens tooth integrity
• Split or cracked teeth requiring full coverage
• Large, old fillings with inadequate structure remaining
• After root canal treatment, for stability and protection
• Ground-down or weakened teeth due to grinding or erosion
• Cosmetic re-shaping of tooth form or size for appearance

By choosing Lavo Dental, you are selecting a practice that recognizes the crucial interrelationship between form and function—our crowns restore tooth functionality while seamlessly integrating into your dental structure.

The Lavo Dental Crown Process

We crown with a meticulous process with precision, comfort, and acceptable long-term outcomes:

1. Initial Consultation & Evaluation

Your procedure begins with a careful assessment, which includes digital X-rays and a visual examination. This allows Dr. Noveir to determine any compromised tooth structure. We explain material options, scheduling, fees, and any dental or medical considerations to help create a mutual understanding.

2. Tooth Preparation

Under local anesthesia, decay is eliminated, and the tooth is shaped to receive a crown. Precision is key to ensuring a strong, stable foundation and a natural emergence profile.

3. Digital Impressions or Physical Molding

We utilize high-precision images captured with iTero digital scanners, eliminating the discomfort associated with traditional molds while providing more precisely crafted pieces.

4. Temporary Crown Placement

A provisional crown serves as a temporary restoration until the final restoration is completed. It keeps function and aesthetics intact throughout the temporary stage.

5. Final Crown Design & Construction

Our lab partner fabricates the permanent crown from a 3D scan and high-quality material. We check fit, contact, color, and occlusion before final insertion.

6. Permanent Placement

The temporary crown is removed, and the new crown is gently cemented into place. Bite adjustment is performed to allow comfortable biting, and polishing reduces rough edges.

7. Follow-Up Care

Follow-ups are scheduled to assess the functioning of the crown, ensuring it remains strong, functional, and well-integrated within the surrounding tissues.
