Dental Crowns at PineGrove Dental Care

Teeth can take a lot over the years – whether it’s wear and tear, a fracture, or the aftermath of a root canal. At PineGrove Dental Care in Tallapoosa, GA, we offer high-quality crowns for teeth that restore both function and appearance. If you’re dealing with a damaged or weakened tooth, a crown may be the reliable, long-term solution you need.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits securely over a tooth to protect and strengthen it. It’s commonly used to repair cracked, worn down, or severely decayed teeth, and can also be used to improve the appearance of a tooth that’s discolored or misshapen.

We frequently use ceramic teeth caps, which are strong, natural-looking, and especially well-suited for visible areas (like when you need a front tooth crown). Our goal is to make sure the crown looks and feels like your natural tooth, so you can speak, chew, and smile with confidence.

When Is a Crown Recommended?

We may suggest a dental crown if:

A tooth is cracked, broken, or significantly weakened
You’ve had a large filling that needs additional support
You’ve undergone a root canal treatment
You want to enhance the appearance of a discolored or uneven tooth

Crowns are a versatile treatment option that can help restore your smile’s health, function, and aesthetics.

Ceramic Crowns: Durable and Natural Looking

At PineGrove, we often recommend ceramic crowns for their ability to closely mimic the look of natural teeth. They’re metal-free, stain-resistant, and ideal for front teeth or other highly visible areas. Ceramic crowns blend seamlessly with the surrounding teeth and offer long-lasting strength without compromising on appearance.

What to Expect During Treatment

Getting a crown typically takes two appointments:

Initial Visit: We examine the tooth, prepare it, and take impressions to ensure your crown is a perfect fit. A temporary crown will be placed to protect your tooth while the final one is being made.
Second Visit: Your custom crown is securely placed and adjusted for comfort and appearance.

Our team will guide you through each step with clear communication and a focus on comfort.
