A custom crown can be used to protect a tooth that is damaged or worn down. Sometimes called a cap, dental crowns are made custom to fit snugly over your tooth while matching the shade of your natural teeth for a seamless and natural look. At MINT dentistry, we offer custom crowns to protect a weak tooth, treat a large cavity, restore cracked teeth, and cover discolored teeth. Our team uses high-quality porcelain crowns to keep your smile looking natural. MINT dentistry patients have the most gorgeous smiles in Indianapolis, IN. Schedule an initial consultation at our state-of-the-art office to get more information about how a crown can get a smile that's healthy and beautiful.

There are many different instances where a dental crown could be needed. They may be used to prevent a tooth from breaking when it is weakened by decay or to hold together a cracked tooth. Dental crowns may be utilized to restore a tooth that is worn down or stained, cover teeth that are oddly shaped, or protect a tooth that has received a root canal. Our Indianapolis, IN practitioners also use crowns to treat larger dental cavities, function as part of a dental bridge, and complete the dental implant process to replace missing teeth. At MINT dentistry, our crowns are made with high-quality porcelain and set using advanced technology to help ensure a long-lasting result that looks natural and attractive.

Once you have settled into one of our luxurious treatment chairs, a member of our team will provide you with a pair of Beats headphones and MINT sunglasses to keep you comfortable during your treatment. To begin, the treatment area will be prepped with local anesthesia. More sedation methods are available if you have anxiety about the process. When you are comfortable, your MINT dentist will prep your teeth by removing any decay and reducing the enamel structure so your crown fits well. Our team will then get digital impressions of your mouth (or a previously placed dental implant) that will be used to make your custom crown. A temporary restoration will be placed over your tooth until your custom crown is ready. When your restoration is complete, our support staff will set up an appointment for placement. Then, the crown will be cemented onto the tooth (or attached to a dental implant). After the crown is set, we may adjust the fit so it feels comfortable and matches your natural teeth.

If sedation is not used during the treatment, you will be able to return to your normal routine after leaving our office. A member of our team will teach you the best way to care for your crown, including how to clean it and what food you may need to avoid. At times, you may need to come back to have your bite checked once the crown has settled in place to ensure the alignment is ideal. During your oral health exam at MINT dentistry in Indianapolis, IN, a skilled dental professional will assess your restoration and adjust the fit as needed so it remains comfortable. We will let you know when your crown needs to be replaced or repaired, but with proper care, a restoration can last for many years. If you experience any concerns about your crown (for example, it feels loose or gets knocked out), contact our office. Don't attempt to fix it or put it back in since this can cause a problem, like an infection or improper fit that affects your bite.

Dental insurance could cover a portion of your costs. Once we have contacted your insurance, our office can better calculate your remaining bill. In your consultation, our practitioners can help you determine the best material for your crown that fits your goals and budget. One of our team members will also discuss payment options, including the MINT discount plan, to make your treatment more affordable. MINT dentistry in Indianapolis, IN is dedicated to giving all our patients sexy teeth. Our dental crowns and restorations are made with the highest quality materials so they look great and last a long time.
