Restore strength, function, and beauty to your smile with dental crowns—custom-made caps that protect and reinforce damaged or weakened teeth. Whether you’re dealing with cracks, severe decay, or worn enamel, Dr. Mahnaz Rashti designs crowns that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, ensuring lasting durability and a confident, healthy smile.
Cover and Protect Damaged or Compromised Teeth
Dental crowns are custom-made restorations that cover and protect damaged, weakened, or aesthetically compromised teeth. Acting like a protective shell, a dental crown restores a tooth’s strength, shape, and function while blending seamlessly with your natural smile. Crowns are often used for cracked teeth, severe decay, large fillings, or after root canals. At MR Dental Aesthetics, Dr. Rashti designs crowns with precision, using high-quality, tooth-colored materials to ensure durability and a perfect fit.
Benefits of Dental Crowns:
- Strengthens and protects weakened or damaged teeth
- Restores proper function for biting and chewing
- Improves the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth
- Prevents further damage, cracks, or fractures
- Supports teeth with large fillings or after a root canal
- Blends seamlessly with your natural teeth for a natural look
The Dental Crown Process
Your crown procedure at MR Dental Aesthetics starts with Dr. Rashti thoroughly evaluating your tooth. If a crown is needed, she removes any decay or damaged enamel and reshapes the tooth, ensuring a stable base. A precise digital scan using the iTero scanner captures a 3D model of your tooth, so there’s no need for traditional putty impressions. This scan is used to design your custom crown, ensuring it fits perfectly over the prepared tooth.
For same-day crowns, Dr. Rashti uses advanced 3D milling technology to create your crown in-office, which allows for final placement in a single visit. If a traditional dental crown is needed, a temporary crown protects your tooth while a high-quality porcelain or zirconia crown is crafted in a lab. Once ready, Dr. Rashti bonds the final crown securely with strong dental cement, restoring your tooth’s strength, durability, and natural appearance.
How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?
Dental crowns can last 10–15 years or longer, depending on the material used and how well you care for them. Proper oral hygiene, avoiding hard foods, and regular check-ups with Dr. Rashti can extend their lifespan.
Dental Crowns FAQs
What Materials Are Dental Crowns Made From?
Crowns can be made from porcelain, zirconia, metal alloys, or a combination of these materials. Porcelain and zirconia are the most popular choices because they offer strength and a natural tooth-like appearance. Dr. Rashti will recommend the best material based on your needs.
What Happens if My Crown Falls Off?
If your crown becomes loose or falls off, contact Dr. Rashti immediately. Avoid chewing on that side, keep the crown clean, and bring it to your appointment. She will assess whether it can be re-cemented or replaced.
Do Dental Crowns Look Natural?
Yes! At MR Dental Aesthetics, Dr. Rashti customizes crowns to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth. High-quality materials mimic the light reflection and translucency of real enamel, ensuring a seamless blend with your surrounding teeth.
Is the Procedure Painful?
Dr. Rashti ensures your comfort throughout the process by using local anesthesia to numb the area. Most patients feel little to no discomfort. After the procedure, you may experience mild soreness, which subsides within a few days.
Can a Crown Fix a Severely Damaged Tooth?
Yes! Crowns are ideal for teeth with deep cracks, large fillings, or severe decay. They provide strength and protection, preventing further damage while restoring function.
