Dental Crowns Newport, KY

A custom dental crown is often used to strengthen and protect a tooth that has been worn down or damaged. Sometimes called a cap, crowns are custom-made to fit snugly over your tooth and match the color of your surrounding teeth for a seamless and natural appearance. At MINT dentistry, we offer crowns to treat large cavities, protect weak teeth, restore cracked teeth, and cover discolored teeth. We use high-grade porcelain crowns that look natural and improve your overall smile. We love that our patients have the most gorgeous smiles in Newport, KY. Contact us to schedule an appointment at our luxurious dental center to get more information about how a dental crown can help you get sexy teeth.

There are many reasons why someone may need a dental crown. Crowns may be necessary to prevent a tooth from breaking when it is weakened by decay, or they can hold together a cracked tooth. They can be used to treat a discolored or worn down tooth, cover a misshapen tooth, or protect teeth treated with root canal therapy. Our Newport, KY practitioners also use crowns to treat moderate areas of decay, to function as part of a bridge, or connect dental implants when replacing missing teeth. At MINT dentistry, our crowns are made with high-quality porcelain and secured using state-of-the-art techniques to help ensure an attractive and long-lasting result that looks natural.

To ensure you are at ease during your visit, you will be offered stylish MINT sunglasses and Beats headphones while you sit back and relax in our comfy treatment chair. Next, the treatment area will be numbed with a local anesthetic. Stronger sedation methods may be available to help you feel more comfortable during the procedure if you experience any fears or anxieties. When you are comfortable, your MINT dentist will prepare your tooth by eliminating any decay and file it down, so the crown fits seamlessly. We will then capture impressions of your mouth (or dental implant post) that will be used to make your custom crown. A temporary cap will be placed over your tooth as the dental lab makes your custom crown. Once your custom crown is finished, we will contact you to set up a follow-up visit to have it placed. Then, the crown will be cemented onto the tooth (or attached to a dental implant). After your crown is set in place, your dentist will adjust the fit, so it feels comfortable.

Once your dental crown is placed, you should be able to leave our office and return to your daily activities since the placement only requires local anesthesia. Your team will teach you how to care for your porcelain crown, including what food you shouldn't eat and how to clean it properly. If needed, we may recommend that you come back for a bite adjustment following the placement of a crown to ensure the alignment is comfortable. During your exams and cleanings at MINT dentistry in Newport, KY, we will check your crown and make sure it remains comfortable. Your dentist will let you know when the crown should be repaired or replaced; however, with good care, a crown should last for many years. Contact our office if you experience any problems with your crown, for example, if it feels loose or gets knocked out. Please do not attempt to fix it or put it back in on your own because this may cause a problem, like an infection or improper fit that affects your bite.

Some of the cost of a dental crown may be covered for those with dental insurance. After speaking with your insurance company, our office can estimate your remaining bill. In your consultation, our practitioners can help you select the best crown options that fit your needs and budget. One of our team members will also review payment options, including the MINT discount plan, which can help make your treatment easier to afford. MINT dentistry in Newport, KY is committed to giving all our patients an attractive smile. Our dental crowns are made with high-quality porcelain material to ensure your smile looks amazing.
