What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns, also known as tooth caps, are custom-made prosthetic restorations that cover the entire visible portion of a tooth. Made from durable materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys, dental crowns are designed to resemble natural teeth in both appearance and function. At Salt Lake Dental, we offer dental crowns in Salt Lake City, UT, as a restorative dental solution for damaged, weakened, or discolored teeth. They provide strength, protection, and aesthetic improvement to your smile.

Examination And Consultation

Our skilled dentist will examine your teeth and determine if dental crowns are the appropriate treatment for you. We will discuss your concerns, goals, and treatment options, ensuring you make an informed decision.

2

Tooth Preparation

A small portion of your tooth enamel is gently removed to accommodate the dental crown. This allows proper placement and ensures a secure fit.

3

Impressions

Precise impressions of your prepared tooth are taken to create a custom-made crown that perfectly matches your natural teeth’ shape, size, and color. These impressions are sent to a dental laboratory where your crown will be fabricated.

4

Temporary Crown

While your permanent crown is being created, we will place a temporary crown to protect the prepared tooth.

5

Crown Placement

Once your permanent crown is ready, we will remove the temporary crown and check the fit, color, and bite. The permanent crown is then securely bonded to your tooth using dental cement.
