A dental crown is a custom-fitted cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its strength, shape, and appearance. Crowns are one of the most reliable solutions in restorative dentistry and can last for many years with proper care.
Whether you live in Dodge Center, Rochester, or anywhere in southeast Minnesota, our team is ready to help you determine if a crown is the right treatment for your situation.
A crown holds a cracked tooth together and prevents the fracture from spreading deeper into the root, where it could require extraction.
When a filling takes up more than half the width of a tooth, the remaining natural structure becomes fragile. A crown provides full coverage and long-term protection.
A tooth that has had a root canal is more brittle and prone to fracture. A crown is placed over the treated tooth to seal and reinforce it.
Crowns serve as anchors for dental bridges and as the visible restoration on top of a dental implant, replacing missing teeth with natural-looking results.
Getting a dental crown at Dodge Center Family Dentistry is straightforward. Here is what to expect from start to finish.
Your dentist examines the tooth, reviews digital X-rays, and discusses your options. If a crown is the right solution, we plan the procedure and review your insurance benefits so there are no surprises.
We take precise impressions of your tooth and send them to the dental lab for fabrication. This ensures your crown fits accurately and comfortably.
The tooth is gently reshaped to make room for the crown. A temporary restoration is placed to protect your tooth while the permanent crown is being made.
Once your permanent crown arrives from the lab, you return for a short appointment. We remove the temporary, check the fit and color of the new crown, and cement it in place. You leave with a fully restored, natural-looking tooth.
