At Dr. Carl Lovarata's office in Smithtown, NY, dental crowns are a reliable solution to restore the strength, function, and aesthetics of damaged teeth.

What are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns, also known as caps, are custom-made restorations that cover the entire visible portion of a tooth. They are meticulously designed to mimic the natural shape, size, and color of your original tooth.

Benefits of Dental Crowns:

• Restored Tooth Function: Dental crowns provide structural support to weakened, cracked, or decayed teeth, restoring their strength and functionality.
• Enhanced Aesthetics: Crowns improve the appearance of your smile by enhancing the shape, size, and color of the treated tooth. They seamlessly blend in with your natural teeth.
• Long-Lasting: Crafted from durable materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys, dental crowns, with proper care, can last for many years.

Dental Crown Procedure:

• Consult & Examination: A comprehensive examination to assess your oral health and determine the need for dental crowns.
• Tooth Preparation: The tooth is prepared by removing a small amount of enamel to accommodate the dental crown.
• Impressions & Temporary Crown: Impressions are taken to create a custom-fit crown, and a temporary crown may be placed to protect the exposed tooth.
• Final Crown Placement: Once the custom crown is ready, it is securely placed, restoring the tooth's strength and aesthetics.
• Follow-Up Care: Regular follow-up appointments ensure the proper fit and function of the dental crown.
