Dental crowns are among the most popular treatments offered at Rugby Dental Arts. Dental crowns help repair teeth that are damaged above the gum line, broken, or worn down. Each of our state-of-the-art dental crowns can be ideally shaped and colored to match the existing teeth. The dental crown is cemented onto the tooth after the tooth has been prepared for its placement.
At our Charlottesville dental office, a dental crown can be fabricated with porcelain or gold. It is then fitted directly over the damaged tooth or to cover any cosmetic flaws. Dental crowns are also used in other procedures such as dental implants or dental bridges and root canal treatment. For your convenience, our team uses the CEREC system to provide you with a new dental crown on the very same day as your appointment!
Choosing the Best Dental Crown for Your Smile
Rugby Dental Arts offers a choice of dental crown materials, depending on patient needs, dental restorations needed, and mouth placement. Porcelain and ceramic dental crowns can be color-matched to your existing teeth. However, if there are spacial limitations, a gold crown may be recommended.
Porcelain and Ceramic Dental Crowns
Dr. Cox and his team tend to use all-ceramic or all-porcelain crowns most often, as they are typically the strongest and most durable. They also look and function just like the real tooth. With proper preparation and placement, most people aren't even able to tell they have a dental crown placed!
Gold Crowns
Gold crowns are used mostly on the back teeth where they are less visible and where space may be limited. The metal is stronger than other materials, allowing for the crown to be thinner, an ideal fabrication for cases with less space for dental crown placement.
At your consultation, our team will help you determine the best dental crown materials for your needs!
