Dental Crowns

Our Stillwater, MN dentists may recommend a dental crown if your tooth is significantly decayed or damaged. It’s a restoration designed to encase the tooth entirely. The crown covers the tooth beginning at the gum line to restore its original shape, size, and appearance. While one of the primary uses for dental crowns is restoring damaged and decayed teeth, crowns can also be used for other reasons, including:

• To seal and protect a tooth after root canal therapy
• Attaching a dental bridge
• Completing a dental implant
• Supporting a large filling
• Strengthing a fractured or weak tooth
• Improving the appearance and function of an irregularly shaped tooth
• Enhancing a smile’s beauty

In Stillwater, Minnesota, each dental crown is custom-made to fit your smile’s appearance perfectly. Our dentists also make sure you have a comfortable bite. To learn more about the uses of dental crowns and how a crown can improve your smile, we invite you to schedule a consultation at Stillwater Family Dental.
