Perfect Your Smile With Dental Crowns

A healthy, bright smile can boost your confidence and overall well-being. If you have a damaged tooth, a dental crown might be the perfect solution to restore your smile and dental health. At OHIOSmiles, we’re dedicated to helping you restore your smile’s health, strength, and appearance. 

Dental crowns are a versatile solution for addressing damaged or weakened teeth, offering protection and aesthetic improvement. Under the expert care of Dr. Antalis, our Cambridge, OH, dental team proudly serves the southeastern Ohio region, providing high-quality crowns tailored to your needs.

Understanding Dental Crowns and Why You Might Need One

Imagine a dental crown as a protective helmet for your front or back teeth. Crowns are custom-made, tooth-shaped “caps” placed over a tooth to restore its function and appearance. This permanent crown covers the entire visible portion of your tooth above the gum line. But why might you need one?

There are several reasons why Dr. Antalis might recommend a dental crown, including a weak tooth that needs protection after root canal treatment, a broken tooth or a tooth that has been worn down, and a large filling that needs covering when there isn’t much tooth remaining. These restorations can also improve the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth.

Advantages of Restoring Your Teeth with Dental Crowns

Dental crowns offer several advantages over other restorative options, including:

• Restored Strength: Crowns reinforce and protect weakened teeth, allowing them to function normally.
• Improved Aesthetics: Crowns enhance the appearance of your smile by covering imperfections.
• Durability: With proper care, crowns can last many years, providing long-term value.
• Versatility: Crowns can address various dental concerns, from cosmetic to significant structural damage.

Moreover, new crowns are customized to match your natural teeth’ shape, size, and color, resulting in a seamless and natural-looking smile. Whether you have a damaged front tooth or need to restore a molar, a crown provides a long-lasting solution that blends in perfectly with your smile, boosting your confidence and promoting overall dental health.

CEREC Crowns

OHIOSmiles is proud to offer CEREC crowns, a state-of-the-art solution for patients seeking convenience and precision. CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology allows us to design, fabricate, and place your crown in a single visit. These restorations provide many benefits to our patients, such as:

• Time-saving: No need for multiple dental visits—your crown is completed in just one visit.
• No Temporary Crowns: With same-day placement, there’s no need for a dental lab or temporary restoration.
• Custom Design: Using advanced digital imaging, we create crowns that fit precisely and match your natural teeth.
• High-Quality Material: CEREC crowns are made from solid ceramic, providing durability and a natural appearance.

The dental crown procedure is straightforward. At the first visit, Dr. Antalis prepares the tooth by removing the damaged portion of the tooth. Next, Dr. Antalis uses a digital scanner to make a 3D model of your teeth, eliminating the need for traditional molds.

Using the digital scan, a custom crown is designed to match the tooth’s shape and shade. The crown is then milled onsite from durable ceramic material. Once ready, it is fitted, adjusted, and securely bonded to the prepared tooth. The result is a natural-looking, long-lasting restoration completed in just one appointment.
