Dental Crowns in Atlanta, GA

A high-quality crown can strengthen or protect a tooth that is damaged or worn down. Sometimes called a cap, custom-made dental crowns are to fit over the affected tooth while matching the color of your surrounding teeth for a natural look. At MINT dentistry, we offer dental crowns to treat large cavities, protect weak teeth, restore cracked teeth, and cover discolored teeth. Our team of board-certified dental professionals uses custom-made porcelain crowns to keep your smile looking natural. We love that our patients have the most gorgeous smiles in Atlanta, GA. Schedule an initial consultation at our modern office to learn more about how a dental crown can help you get sexy teeth.

There are a number of situations where a dental crown may be necessary. Dental crowns can be used to keep a tooth (weakened by decay) from breaking or to hold parts of a tooth together that have already cracked. Crowns can be utilized to restore a tooth that is broken or discolored, cover a tooth that is oddly shaped, or protect root canal-treated teeth. Our Atlanta, GA practitioners also use crowns to treat moderate areas of tooth decay, serve as part of a bridge, and attach to dental implants to replace missing teeth. At MINT dentistry, our crowns are made with high-quality porcelain and are secured with advanced technology to help ensure a beautiful result.

To start your appointment, you will be seated in a luxurious treatment chair and offered a pair of Beats headphones and MINT sunglasses to keep you comfortable. Next, the area to be treated will be prepped with local anesthesia. Stronger sedation methods may be available if you have any fears or anxieties. When you are comfortable, your MINT dentist will prep the tooth by eliminating any damage and reduce the enamel structure so your custom crown fits well. We will then get digital impressions of your prepared teeth (or a dental implant post) so your crown can be custom made. A temporary restoration will be used to protect your tooth while your custom crown is in production. Once your custom crown is done, you will need to set up a follow-up visit to have it placed. The restoration will be cemented onto the tooth (or attached to a dental implant). After your crown is set, your dentist may adjust the fit so it feels comfortable and matches your natural teeth.

If you have not been under strong sedation, you will be able to leave immediately after your appointment and return to your normal activities. A member of our team will go over how to care for your porcelain crown, including what food you shouldn't eat and how to properly clean it. If needed, you may need to come back for a follow-up visit for a bite adjustment once the crown has settled into place to make certain the alignment is comfortable. During your exams and cleanings at MINT dentistry in Atlanta, GA, we will assess your restoration and adjust the fit as needed so it feels comfortable. Your dentist will let you know when your crown needs to be repaired or replaced, but with proper care, a restoration can last for many years. If you have any concerns about your crown (for example, it becomes loose or falls out), contact us for help. Do not attempt to put it back in or repair it since this may cause an infection or bad fit.

The cost of a dental crown may be covered in part by dental insurance. Once we have contacted your insurance, our office can better calculate your out-of-pocket expenses. During your consultation, we can help you select the best material for your crown to fit your budget. A member of our staff will also discuss the payment methods we accept, including the MINT Discount Plan, to make your treatment more affordable. MINT dentistry in Atlanta, GA is dedicated to helping each of our patients get a healthy, attractive smile. Our dental crowns are made with high-quality porcelain material to ensure your smile looks amazing.
