Dental Crowns

At Dr. Barzi Brookline Dental, we are dedicated to restoring and enhancing the strength, functionality and aesthetics of your teeth through the use of dental crowns. Dental crowns, or caps as they are sometimes referred to, are custom-made restorations that cover the entire surface of a tooth, providing stability and protection for teeth that are damaged, decayed or aesthetically compromised. Our commitment to your oral health includes utilizing state-of-the-art materials and techniques to create crowns that perfectly match the color, shape and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking result.

The Remarkable Benefits of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns, also known as “teeth caps”, are a versatile solution, suitable for a variety of dental issues, including protecting a weak tooth from breaking, restoring an already broken tooth, covering and supporting a tooth with a large filling when there is not much tooth left, holding a dental bridge in place, covering misshapen or severely discolored teeth and covering a dental implant.

The process of receiving a dental crown at our practice involves:

• A comprehensive examination to assess the condition of your tooth and determine if a crown is the best solution for your needs.
• Preparation of the tooth, which may involve removing a portion of the tooth to make space for the crown and shaping the tooth surface for optimal fit.
• Taking an impression of your tooth to create a custom crown that fits perfectly and matches the appearance of your natural teeth. This may be done with traditional dental molds or digital scanning technology.
• Placing a temporary crown if necessary, while your custom crown is being fabricated in a dental laboratory.
• Once your custom crown is ready, it will be fitted, adjusted and permanently cemented into place, ensuring that it feels comfortable and looks indistinguishable from your natural teeth.

Benefits of Dental Crowns Include:

• Restoration of the tooth’s strength, functionality and appearance, allowing you to enjoy normal chewing and a full smile.
• Protection of the underlying tooth from further damage or decay, extending the life of your tooth.
• Improvement of your overall dental health by maintaining the structural integrity of your mouth and bite.
• Enhancement of your smile and confidence, as crowns are designed to look like your natural teeth.
