Dental Crowns in Brockport
A crown is a tooth-shaped cap permanently cemented over a tooth to restore its strength, shape, size, and esthetic appearance. It covers the visible portion of the tooth above and right to the gum line. Crowns hold weak, broken or cracked teeth together to avoid further fracture. They’re also used to support large fillings, attach a bridge, cover discolored or deformed teeth, and are placed over dental implants. Crowns are long-lasting if cared for with good oral hygiene. Avoid biting your nails, chewing ice, or grinding your teeth to prevent damaging them.

Without endodontic treatment, the infection in the tooth pulp can result in an abscess, which can damage the jawbone beneath, and can affect other healthy teeth. If a tooth is causing you pain, has become extra-sensitive to heat and cold, appears discolored, or the gums around it feel tender and swollen, then you may need a root canal.
A tooth that is broken, damaged, or in general poor condition can be harmful to your health. It can also affect feeling comfortable about your tooth and your self-confidence.
Dental crowns are almost exactly the way they sound – a crown, or cap, for your tooth. Dental crowns help restore a tooth, resulting in a truly aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Here are some of the reasons you need a dental crown:
Reasons for crowns:
- Tooth that is broken or fractured.

Restore Your Smile Today
Crowns also replace severe cases of tooth decay that have resulted in a large amount of tooth loss. Crowns allow dentists to restore form and function to your tooth without needing to perform an extraction. It is always best to save as much real tooth/enamel as possible.
The Dental Crown Placement Process
This process begins with a consult and exam where we develop a plan for you. We take dental impressions to ensure a precise fit for your tooth. We also treat and resolve any decay or infection prior to placement of the crown.
Once the impressions are ready for your tooth, we place the crown for a proper fit. Once your crown is fitted appropriately, you can again be confident about your dental health and your amazing smile. If you have any questions about Dental Crowns in Brockport, please call our office at 585-636-0555.
