Dental Crowns IN Grants Pass, OR
what are dental crowns?
Dental crowns are protective caps that cover all surfaces of a tooth. They have a variety of uses, such as protecting a weak tooth, holding a broken tooth together, anchoring a dental bridge in place, completing the restoration of a dental implant, and covering up imperfections like discoloration.
Crowns can be made from a variety of materials and are very durable, strong, and sturdy which is why they are placed over damaged or vulnerable teeth. Crowns are usually necessary after root canal treatment, especially in the molars, because these teeth have a higher risk of damage from chewing forces.

HOW IT WORKS: THE crown placement PROCESS
consultation
At your consultation with Dr. Anderson, your teeth will be examined to determine the extent of damage and decide if a crown is the best option.
enameloplasty
In preparation for a crown, we will need to trim down your tooth a bit so the crowns can fit over the tooth without sticking out.
impressions
After shaving down your tooth, we will take impressions of your teeth and send them to a dental lab that will create your custom-made crown.
crown placement
Crown fabrication may take a few weeks. Once we have your dental crown, you will return to have it bonded to your tooth.
TYPES OF dental crowns
lab-made
At A Street Dental, we offer lab-made crowns because they are superior to CEREC crowns in durability, lifespan, and reliability. Lab-made crowns can be made from an array of materials, such as porcelain, metal, ceramic, porcelain-fused-to-metal, or zirconia.
The ideal material for you depends on how much durability you need and if you would like a tooth-colored crown. These crowns require multiple appointments and the cooperation of an outside dental lab, but the result is a highly durable protective cap that will last for many years and keep your tooth in good condition.
DID YOU KNOW…
Dental crowns last for 5 to 15 years.
