Helping You Save Your Damaged Teeth
Tooth enamel may resemble your bones, but because it doesn’t contain any living cells, it can’t fix
itself when damaged. So if you have a tooth that’s broken or decayed, it will stay that way. Fortunately,
it’s often possible to save such teeth via restorative dentistry. With a
custom-made dental crown, Dr. Strohman can repair your tooth while also keeping it safe from further harm. Give us a
call today if you think your smile might benefit
from a dental crown.

What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a common type of dental restoration. It is a cap for your tooth that is designed to completely cover the dental structure, thus bringing back the tooth’s shape and size while also strengthening it.
Our team can use dental crowns in a variety of situations. We often suggest them for teeth that are weakened or broken. They can also be placed on top of dental implants in order to act as replacement teeth.
The Dental Crown Process
Our team will need to take a small amount of enamel off of the tooth that will receive the crown. This is done to ensure there’s enough space for the restoration. Once preparations are complete, an impression of the tooth can be taken. Said impression will be sent to a dental lab so that your personalized crown can be created.
You will wear a temporary crown while you’re waiting for the permanent version. Once the final crown is complete, you’ll return to our office so that it can be cemented to your tooth.
The Benefits of Getting a Dental Crown
There are many reasons why dentists and patients alike continue to rely on dental crowns. Here are some of the advantages that this restorative treatment offers:
- By protecting your tooth with a dental crown, you can potentially avoid further damage, which in turn means that you can lower your chances of needing more invasive treatments later.
- Once your tooth has been restored with a crown, you can use it to chew all kinds of foods again.
- Dental crowns can potentially last for 15 years or even longer as long as you do a good job of taking care of them (which means practicing good oral hygiene and regularly visiting your dentist).
