Common Questions

What are dental crowns and when do I need them?

Dental crowns are custom-made caps that fit over damaged or weakened teeth to restore their shape, size, strength, and appearance. You might need a crown if you have a large cavity that's too big for a filling, a cracked tooth, a root canal, or a severely worn down or discolored tooth. Our crowns are designed to match your natural teeth perfectly.

What are the benefits of zirconium crowns compared to other materials?

Zirconium crowns offer several advantages over other materials. They're exceptionally strong and durable, highly biocompatible, and less likely to cause allergic reactions. Zirconium crowns also provide superior aesthetics with a translucent quality that mimics natural teeth. They don't have a metal base, so there's no dark line at the gum line that can occur with traditional porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns. Additionally, they require less removal of your natural tooth structure.

How do dental implants work and how long do they last?

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into your jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. Once integrated with your bone (a process called osseointegration), they provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth. With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime, though the crown attached to the implant may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear and tear. Success rates for dental implants are typically around 95-98%.

Are dental veneers a good alternative to crowns?

Veneers and crowns serve different purposes. Veneers are thin shells that cover only the front surface of teeth and are ideal for minor cosmetic improvements like discoloration, small chips, or gaps. Crowns, however, cover the entire tooth and are better for teeth that have significant damage, large fillings, or have undergone root canal treatment. During your consultation, we'll assess your specific needs and recommend the most appropriate option for your situation.

What is the recovery process like after getting dental implants?

The recovery process after dental implant surgery varies from person to person. Typically, you might experience some swelling, bruising, minor bleeding, and discomfort for a few days after the procedure. Most patients can return to work and normal activities within 1-2 days. The complete healing and integration of the implant with your jawbone takes about 3-6 months. During this time, we'll provide detailed aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure proper healing.
