Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are a versatile restorative solution used to protect and strengthen teeth that have been damaged by decay, fractures, or wear. At Artistic Dentistry, dental crowns are carefully designed to restore both function and appearance, allowing patients to chew comfortably and smile with confidence. A crown fully covers the visible portion of the tooth, reinforcing its structure while blending seamlessly with your natural smile. Crowns are often recommended when a tooth has a large filling, significant decay, cracks, or has undergone root canal treatment. Without proper protection, these teeth are more vulnerable to breaking or further damage. A dental crown acts like a protective shell, holding the tooth together and restoring its original shape and strength. Modern crown materials are durable and highly aesthetic, making them an excellent choice for both front and back teeth. Patients throughout Creve Coeur, St. Louis, Maryland Heights, Ladue, Chesterfield, and Olivette choose dental crowns because they offer long-lasting protection with natural-looking results. Each crown is custom-made to match the color, size, and contours of your surrounding teeth. This attention to detail ensures that your crown feels comfortable, looks realistic, and functions just like a natural tooth. The crown process is designed to be smooth and efficient. After preparing the tooth, precise impressions are taken to ensure an accurate fit. Once placed, the crown restores your bite and helps prevent shifting or uneven wear of surrounding teeth. With proper care, dental crowns can last many years while supporting overall oral health.
