Dental Crowns

Overview

At Tribeca Smiles in New York, NY, Dr. Frederick Solomon likes to say that he doesn’t just fix teeth — he treats patients with not only cosmetic dentistry but comprehensive general dentistry. His mission is to look at patients as holistic individuals in order to treat them properly. When your teeth get worn down or damaged, crowns are an excellent option to regain the original stability and strength you had in the affected tooth. Crowns also serve as protection against more distress and degradation. Just as a football helmet protects your head from damage, a crown protects your compromised tooth. Crowns are made to aesthetically match your existing teeth in color, shape, and size so they will blend into the surrounding teeth. Translucency and luster of your teeth are also matched so as far as anyone else knows, they are your original teeth. Crowns are stain-resistant and don’t slide or shift, like dentures, since they are cemented into place — giving you the peace of mind that they will stay put.

FirstFit Technology

FirstFit is another advanced same-day solution we use to bring conservative care to our patients. With FirstFit, we take a quick impression of your teeth during your consultation and send it off to our partner dental lab. When you return for your crown visit, your damaged tooth is conservatively treated using a custom 3D prosthetic guide and your brand new, natural-looking permanent crown is placed, all within the same visit. FirstFit greatly enhances the accuracy of crown procedures and offers a minimally invasive approach toward restoring your smile.

CEREC Dental Crowns

We also use CEREC digital dentistry that allows us to complete a natural-looking crown that is crafted and placed in one single appointment, typically in about an hour. The CEREC technology allows us to craft a customized dental crown using a specialized computer and our in-house laboratory. We will take digital impressions of your teeth using a state-of-the-art scanning system instead of conventional molds. Your dental crown will be created from a ceramic cube using a 3D printer, and the result is a porcelain crown that looks natural within your smile.

What To Expect

Dental crowns are needed when the filling is too big for the tooth to hold, you’re coming off a root canal, or a combination of the two. Regardless, the first step involves the utilization of a local anesthetic to make sure your tooth and surrounding tissue are both numb. If you have just had a root canal procedure, an anesthetic will still be used. Impressions will be taken of your tooth so that our lab can create your crown. With our crowns, the precise shade of your surrounding teeth will be matched as well. From there, the tooth will be prepared, final impressions will be made, and a temporary crown will be provided until the porcelain or ceramic crown can be cemented into place.

Recovery

Congratulations on your new crown! We know that it’s not the most pleasant process, but after it’s situated, it will withstand the day-to-day pressures a tooth must deal with, like biting, chewing, and grinding. Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s indestructible, but it should give you years of reliable service. Once the bite has been aligned properly and the excess cement has been cleaned, you will receive very specific post-procedure instructions for how to best care for your new crown. It is vital to follow these instructions carefully, especially regarding what to eat and not eat. If you notice anything out of the ordinary, let us know so we can address it.
