What are Dental Crowns?

These versatile restorations restore both the appearance and function of your teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Dr. Saad carefully designs each crown to match your natural teeth in color and shape, ensuring a seamless, natural-looking result.

The Dental Crowns Treatment Process
Comprehensive Consultation
Your journey begins with a personalized consultation where Dr. Saad uses her Dental Photography Studio to capture detailed images of your smile. These high-resolution photos, combined with gentle examination and images from our Nomad Handheld X-ray Unit, help create your custom treatment plan while ensuring your comfort.
Precision Digital Design
Using our state-of-the-art iTero Intraoral Scanner, we'll capture incredibly precise digital impressions without the discomfort of traditional putty materials. Dr. Saad may also utilize Virtual Smile Design Consults to show you a preview of your expected results. A temporary crown is placed while our Master Ceramist crafts your permanent restoration.
Final Placement
When your custom crown arrives from our Master Ceramist, you'll return for the final placement. Dr. Saad will meticulously check the fit, color match, and bite alignment before permanently bonding the crown to your tooth. You'll leave with a naturally beautiful restoration that feels comfortable and looks completely natural.
FAQs
We're here to answer your questions about dental crowns.
How long does the dental crown process take?
The dental crown process typically requires two appointments spaced about two weeks apart. During your first visit, Dr. Saad will prepare your tooth and place a temporary crown. Once our Master Ceramist has crafted your custom crown, you'll return for the final placement appointment, which usually takes about an hour.
How should I care for my dental crown?
Maintain your dental crown by continuing your regular brushing and flossing routine, along with your periodic visits to Lalume Dental Studio. Avoid using your teeth as tools or chewing ice, and consider a night guard if you grind your teeth during sleep.
Does getting a dental crown hurt?
Your comfort is our priority at Lalume Dental Studio. Dr. Saad provides a comfortable experience with gentle techniques and local anesthesia during preparation. Many patients enjoy our comfort menu options like aromatherapy, cozy blankets, or noise-cancelling headphones during treatment.
