Dental Crowns

Do you have a tooth that is causing you pain? Are you experiencing difficulty eating or speaking clearly?

A dental crown from Planes Dental Arts with offices in Port St. Lucie and Vero Beach, FL, can restore both form and function to your smile.

Learn how our dentist, Dr. Alex Planes, can help protect a tooth following treatment with a lifelike metal-free dental crown...

How Do Dental Crowns Work?

A tooth can become weakened due to physical trauma or untreated decay.
When a tooth is so compromised it begins to cause discomfort, you may require a root canal.
Our dentist can perform a virtually painless root canal to repair your tooth before placing a durable dental crown.
A flexible treatment option, dental crowns can:

Restore and Protect

Following treatment at one of our dentistry practices in Vero Beach or Port St. Lucie, FL, Dr. Planes can place a dental crown over the affected tooth, protecting it from further damage. Prompt treatment with a dental crown can allow you to avoid the need for extraction.

Provide a Lasting Solution

Our dentist offers dental crowns made from advanced materials including zirconia and IPS e.max. Both of these materials are stronger than traditional dental porcelain and can provide over a decade of reliable service with the proper care and regular checkups.

Address Tooth Loss

If your tooth is too far gone to save or you have already lost a tooth, our dentist can provide an implant-supported dental crown to fill the gap in your smile. Dental implants not only provide a stable base for a crown but can stop the jawbone atrophy associated with tooth loss.
 

Offer Incredible Results

Providing better aesthetic results than traditional porcelain, a crown constructed of zirconia or IPS e.max glass-ceramic is engineered to mimic the light-reflective qualities of natural tooth enamel. Our dentist will color-match your new dental crown to blend in with your surrounding teeth.

How Long Does a Dental Crown Take? Dental Crown Treatment Timeline

In order to provide patients with the best possible results, a dental crown from Planes Dental Arts can be completed in two appointments. Patients interested in a dental implant-supported crown will require additional treatment before Dr. Planes can place a permanent crown. For the majority of patients, however, restoring your smile with a dental crown includes:
Treatment from start to finish takes about three weeks.
Treatment from start to finish takes about three weeks.

Initial Exam

During your first appointment, Dr. Planes will examine your compromised tooth to determine the best treatment solution for your needs. 

Treatment

Dr. Planes will remove the damaged or decayed portions of the affected tooth. Extensive decay may require a root canal if the tooth has become infected. Following treatment, Dr. Planes will reshape and resize the tooth to create a stable base for your crown.

Impressions

Using traditional impression putty, Dr. Planes will create a detailed mold of your smile. This casting will be sent off to our dental lab in order to create a crown that fits perfectly with your surrounding teeth.

Temporary Crown

Our dentist will place a temporary crown made of porcelain to protect your prepared tooth while your restoration is being made. 

Fabrication

It takes two to three weeks for a master ceramicist to craft your new crown. Hand finishing details will ensure your new restoration mimics the appearance of your natural tooth for seamless integration.

Permanent Crown

Once your final restoration is completed, you can return to our dental office where Dr. Planes will remove your porcelain temporary crown. He will test fit your new permanent crown and make any necessary adjustments to achieve a proper fit and functional bite.

Final Restoration

Once you and Dr. Planes are happy with the fit and function of your new crown, he will permanently bond your crown using dental cement. Following final placement, no downtime is required. You may experience mild sensitivity, but it should resolve itself in a couple of days.
