Restore Your Smile with Dental Crowns in Worthington, OH
What Are
Dental Crowns?
At Anthony Lordo, DDS, we know that your smile is your signature. Which is why we are proud to offer Dental crowns, an exceptional solution for restoring teeth that are damaged, decayed, or aesthetically compromised. Dental crowns are custom-made restorations that fully encase the visible part of a tooth above the gum line. They are designed to restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are ideal for teeth that are too damaged for fillings but not lost entirely. Our skilled team uses advanced materials and techniques to create crowns that not only function perfectly but also blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
The Dental Crown Procedure:
What to Expect
Getting dental crowns involves several stages, each meticulously planned for the best possible outcome. Getting a dental crown at Anthony Lordo, DDS, is a precise and comfortable process. Here’s a detailed look at what you can expect:
1
Initial Consultation
Dr. Lordo conducts a thorough examination of your tooth, often using digital x-rays to assess the extent of damage and the surrounding bone structure. This helps determine if a crown is the best solution for you.
2
Tooth Preparation
The damaged or decayed part of the tooth is carefully removed, and the tooth is shaped to make room for the crown. This step is crucial for making sure that the crown fits properly and aligns with your bite.
3
Impression Taking
We take an impression of your prepared tooth using digital scanning technology. This impression is used to a create your custom crown that is crafted with precision.
4
Temporary Crown
While waiting for your permanent crown, a temporary one is placed to protect your tooth. This allows you to continue eating and speaking normally.
5
Crown Placement
Once your custom crown is ready, Dr. Lordo will check the fit, color, shape, and bite. After making any necessary adjustments, the crown is permanently cemented onto your prepared tooth, restoring its function and appearance.
Types of Dental Crowns
At Anthony Lordo, DDS, we offer several types of dental crowns, each designed to meet different needs and preferences:
Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns are highly regarded for their natural appearance, as they can be color-matched to the surrounding teeth. They are an excellent choice for restoring front teeth where aesthetics are particularly important. Despite their delicate look, porcelain crowns are strong and durable, providing long-lasting restoration.
Ceramic Crowns
Ceramic crowns offer a metal-free alternative with excellent aesthetic qualities, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth. These crowns are ideal for patients with metal allergies and those who prioritize a natural-looking restoration. Ceramic crowns provide strength and durability, making them suitable for both front and back teeth.
