Dental Crowns in Taos, MO

What are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a type of restoration that covers a tooth to protect it from further damage. A crown can also be used to restore the shape of your tooth, and improve its appearance. Our team will work with you to determine if a dental crown is the right option for restoring your teeth, and then create a customized solution that meets your needs.

Why are Dental Crowns Important?

Dental crowns help protect your teeth from decay and damage. They can also be used to improve the appearance of your smile, and prevent further damage and wear to a tooth by covering it completely. In addition, they add strength to weakened or damaged teeth which can improve their function.

Types of Dental Crowns

At High Street Dentistry, we offer several types of dental crowns to meet your needs. We have metal crowns which are strong, durable and resistant to wear. Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns offer strength combined with a natural look. All ceramic or pure porcelain crowns are the most aesthetic option and blend in seamlessly with your natural smile.

Dental Crown Procedure

Once we have determined that a dental crown is the best option for you, we will begin by preparing your tooth. This involves removing any decay or damage from the tooth, as well as reshaping it to accommodate the crown. Impressions of your teeth will be taken so that our lab can fabricate your custom-made crown. We may place a temporary crown while you wait for your permanent one. When your new crown is ready, we will check to make sure it fits and looks natural, then bond it into place with dental cement.
