A dental-tooth-crown is a custom-fitted cap that is placed over a natural tooth. Crowns are typically recommended when a tooth is too weak for a filling, after root canal therapy, or when a tooth is broken, cracked, or severely worn down. They can also be used for cosmetic purposes, such as covering discolored or misshapen teeth. At Sky Dental Care, every crown is designed with precision and crafted from durable, natural-looking materials to ensure strength and beauty.

Choosing a dental-tooth-crown at Sky Dental Care offers several advantages:

• Durable & Long-Lasting – With proper care, dental crowns can last 10–15 years or more.
  
• Versatile Solution – Crowns can support dental bridges, cover implants, or improve the look of your smile.

The Dental Tooth Crown Procedure

Getting a dental-tooth-crown at Sky Dental Care usually involves two appointments:

Initial Consultation & Preparation: We examine the tooth, take X-rays if needed, and reshape the tooth to make room for the crown. Impressions are taken to ensure a perfect fit. A temporary crown is placed while your permanent one is being made.
Crown Placement: Once your custom crown is ready, we bond it securely in place, check your bite, and make adjustments for comfort. You’ll leave with a fully restored smile.

Caring for Your Dental Tooth Crown

Proper care helps extend the life of your crown. Follow these simple steps:

• Brush and floss daily to prevent decay around the crown.
• Avoid chewing hard foods like ice or nuts on the crown.
• Visit Sky Dental Care regularly for professional cleanings and checkups.
  
• Wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth.

With the right care, your crown can last for many years while keeping your smile healthy and strong.
