Crowns in Topeka
At Ideus Family Dental Care, we offer high-quality dental crowns to restore the strength, function, and appearance of damaged teeth. Whether your tooth is weakened by decay, cracked, or has undergone a root canal, a crown provides a durable solution that protects your tooth while blending seamlessly with your natural smile. Dr. Nathan Ideus uses state-of-the-art materials and techniques to ensure your crown is both strong and aesthetically pleasing.
When Are Dental Crowns Needed?
Dental crowns are often recommended for teeth that are too damaged to be repaired with a filling or other simpler restorations. They are ideal for protecting teeth after a root canal, restoring broken or severely worn teeth, or covering a dental implant. Crowns can also be used to improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth, giving you a smile you can feel confident about. Dr. Ideus will carefully assess your situation to determine if a crown is the best option for your dental health.
Types of Dental Crowns
At Ideus Family Dental Care, we offer a variety of dental crown materials to suit your specific needs. Porcelain crowns are popular for their natural appearance and ability to blend with your existing teeth, while metal crowns offer exceptional strength for back teeth that endure heavy chewing forces. We also provide porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, which combine the durability of metal with the aesthetic appeal of porcelain. Dr. Ideus will work with you to choose the right crown material based on your individual needs and preferences.
The Dental Crown Process
The process of getting a dental crown typically involves two visits to our Topeka office. During the first visit, Dr. Ideus will prepare the affected tooth by removing any damaged or decayed tissue and shaping the tooth to fit the crown. We’ll then take an impression of your tooth, which will be used to create your custom crown. A temporary crown will be placed to protect your tooth while your permanent crown is being made. At your second visit, the permanent crown will be carefully fitted, adjusted, and bonded to your tooth, leaving you with a restored and natural-looking smile.
