What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers a natural tooth from the gumline up. Crowns are used in both restorative and cosmetic dentistry. They are often used to protect teeth after root canal treatment, but they can also be used to cover stained or misshapen teeth and achieve an aesthetic upgrade.
Crowns are typically recommended if a tooth is significantly damaged, but not necessarily in need of extraction. Preservation of natural tissue is always the priority in dentistry, and a crown is a solution that allows you to keep a compromised tooth that would otherwise be unable to contribute to the balance and function of your bite.
At Advanced Dental Care in Valdosta, GA, we work closely with a local dental lab that produces crowns made of porcelain, gold, or zirconia.
Before and After Dental Crowns
Find Relief Soon at Advanced Dental Care
Like many dental patients, you may be tired of the stress that goes along with a damaged or decayed tooth. However, you won't have to wait much longer for relief at Advanced Dental Care. Before we place your permanent crown, we will craft a temporary crown to cover and protect your tooth from further damage. That way, you can eat, talk, and smile confidently on the same day as your first appointment.
Then, when you return to our dentistry practice, we will have a custom crown made from natural-looking porcelain, gold, or zirconia ready for placement. If you're ready to put yourself — and your oral health — first, contact our Valdosta dentistry practice online or call our location nearest you:

How to Take Care of Your New Custom Crown
Brush Your Teeth
Good oral hygiene can prevent cavities and further tooth damage. As you brush each morning and night, remember to gently brush your gums and tongue too.
Floss Regularly
Flossing improves your gum health. It will also help ensure that your crown stays free of plaque and tartar build-up.
Wear a Mouthguard
Grinding your teeth in your sleep can cause damage to your teeth or crown, along with headaches and jaw pain. We offer TMJ treatment, like mouthguards, to prevent this problem.Avoid Certain Foods
Hard food, like nuts and toffee, and sticky foods, like gum and caramel, can damage your crown or pull it out of place completely. Try to avoid these foods if possible or bite into and chew them with teeth that haven't been treated with crowns.
Attend Dental Checkups
After we place your crown, we encourage you to come back for regular cleanings so that your smile stays healthy and beautiful. We will also let you know when it's time to replace your crown.
Implant-Supported Crowns
In addition to traditional dental crowns, we also offer implant-supported crowns at our offices in Valdosta, GA. Implant-supported crowns are prosthetic teeth that attach to dental implants, filling the gaps in your smile after tooth loss.
Replacing a tooth with a dental implant and implant-supported crown is a longer process than most other dental treatments, but it's worth the investment because implants fuse with the jawbone and replace lost tooth roots. This means that implant-supported restorations provide unbeatable stability while providing the stimulation needed to maintain a strong jawbone.
If you have any questions about implant dentistry, we invite you to request a consultation with our dentists today.
Single crowns are the most common restorative procedure with 2.3 million implant-supported crowns made each year. According to the American College of Prosthodontists
