Dental Crowns Miami, FL

Dental crowns are often used to provide extra protection or structure to a single tooth that's been weakened or eroded. Also known as a cap, crowns are custom-made to fit snugly over your tooth and match the shade of your natural teeth for a seamless look. MINT dentistry offers high-quality crowns to protect a weak tooth, treat a large cavity, cover discoloration, and restore a cracked tooth. Our team uses high-quality porcelain crowns that look natural and improve your overall smile. We love that our patients have the most stunning smiles in Miami, FL. Schedule an initial consultation at our state-of-the-art office to find out more about how a dental crown can restore your oral health while keeping your smile dazzling.

There are many situations that may call for a custom dental crown. Dental crowns can be used to prevent a tooth from breaking when it is weakened by decay, or they can hold parts of a tooth together that have already cracked. Dental crowns can be recommended to repair a tooth that is damaged or discolored, protect a tooth that is oddly shaped, or protect teeth that have been treated with root canal therapy. Our Miami, FL dental experts also place crowns to treat larger dental cavities, serve as part of a dental bridge, and complete the dental implant process for tooth replacement. At MINT dentistry, our crowns are custom-made with top-quality porcelain and set with state-of-the-art techniques to help make sure you have an attractive, long-lasting restoration.

Once you've had a chance to settle back into one of our comfortable treatment chairs, you'll be offered a pair of MINT sunglasses and Beats headphones to help put you at ease during your planned procedure. Next, the treatment area will be anesthetized. Other sedation options are available if you experience anxiety about the process. Once you're comfortable, your MINT dentist will prep the tooth by eliminating any damage and gently shaving the enamel structure so the dental crown fits seamlessly. Our team will then get digital impressions of your teeth (or a previously placed dental implant) to help us design your custom restoration. A temporary cap will be used to protect your tooth while your custom crown is in production. Once your crown is ready, we will contact you to schedule an appointment for placement. Then, the restoration will be attached to your dental implant or cemented to your natural tooth. Once your crown is set in place, your dentist will adjust the fit so your bite is correct.

Depending on whether or not sedation was used for your dental crown placement, you should be able to leave our office and go about your normal day as soon as the restoration is in place. Your team will go over the best way to care for your crown, including any foods to avoid and the best way to keep it clean. If needed, we may recommend that you come back for a follow-up visit to have your bite checked following the placement of a crown to make sure the alignment is comfortable. During your exams at MINT dentistry in Miami, FL, your dentist will assess your restoration and make sure it feels comfortable. We will let you know when your crown should be replaced, but with proper care, a restoration should last for a long time. If you have any issues with your crown (for example, it feels loose or gets knocked out), contact our office. Do not try to fix it or put it back in because this can lead to more extensive issues, like an infection or an uneven bite.

If you have dental insurance, your policy may cover a portion of the cost of your dental crown. Once we have contacted your insurance company, our office can better estimate your out-of-pocket expenses. In your consultation, your dentist will help you select the best options for your crown based on your goals and budget. Our financial coordinator will also discuss payment options, including the MINT discount plan, to make your treatment more affordable. MINT dentistry in Miami, FL is committed to giving all our patients sexy teeth. Our custom crowns are crafted from high-quality porcelain material so they last a long time and look beautiful.
