Our dentists can protect broken teeth from infection and additional injury when we place a dental crown. A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over the entire visible portion of a damaged tooth, restoring its original shape, size, and strength. At Covington Dental Partners, we use this restoration in order to surround a tooth, renewing its structural integrity and preventing bacteria from harming its inner tissues. Dental crowns can be crafted from a variety of materials, including porcelain, ceramic, porcelain-fused-to-metal, and gold, and our skilled dentists will help you choose the option that best suits your needs and aesthetic preferences.

Our dentists may recommend a dental crown to restore a tooth that is severely decayed, cracked, broken, or weakened. Crowns are also used to support a tooth with a large filling, to hold a dental bridge in place, to cover a dental implant, or to improve the appearance of a misshapen or discolored tooth. The crown placement process typically requires two visits to our welcoming Covington, Georgia dental office. During the first visit, we prepare the tooth and take impressions, placing a temporary crown to protect your tooth. At your second appointment, we bond your custom permanent crown into place, ensuring a comfortable and precise fit.
