Restoring Your Smile’s Appearance and Function
Whether you have a damaged tooth or are replacing a missing one, a custom crown can help restore your smile. At Roseville Smiles, Dr. Sri plans each restoration with attention to its appearance, fit, and your bite.
Crowns for Natural Teeth
A dental crown covers an existing tooth to help restore its shape, strength, and function.
A crown may be recommended for a tooth that:
- Is cracked, broken, or significantly worn
- Has extensive decay or a large filling with limited remaining tooth structure
- Needs protection following root canal treatment
- Has an existing crown that needs replacement
- Has a shape or discoloration that cannot be adequately addressed with a more conservative option
Dr. Sri will examine your tooth and discuss whether a crown or another treatment is appropriate.
Implant-Supported Crowns
An implant-supported crown replaces the visible portion of a missing tooth. Instead of covering a natural tooth, it connects to a dental implant anchored in the jawbone.
The implant and crown are separate parts of your restoration. Crown placement is planned according to the implant’s healing and readiness.
What to Expect
Your care begins with an examination and a discussion of your options. Digital scans or impressions help guide the creation of your custom crown.
For a natural tooth, treatment includes preparing the tooth and fitting the restoration. Suitable cases may qualify for a same-day crown; others require a temporary crown and a later placement appointment.
For an implant crown, we assess the implant and surrounding tissues before taking the records needed for your restoration. The crown’s fit, appearance, and bite are checked before it is secured.
