When a tooth is damaged by decay or cracking, it’s important to assess the severity before deciding on treatment. Dr. Hiruma and her team will carefully evaluate the condition to determine the best option. After a thorough examination, several treatments may be recommended, including fillings, onlays, inlays, or crowns. Crowns are typically suggested when a tooth has had root canal therapy or if decay extends beyond an existing crown. Commonly referred to as “caps,” traditional crowns cover the tooth structure 360 degrees. If fillings are insufficient and crowns are too aggressive, alternatives like inlays and onlays may be offered.

 

At Enso Dental Arts, Dr. Hiruma aims to restore your tooth’s function while preserving as much of its natural structure as possible. Using advanced technology and precision techniques, we carefully assess which treatment is right for you. A filling or onlay might be recommended when the damage is minor. For more extensive decay or fractures, a crown might be the best option. Our team prioritizes comfort throughout your visit, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience. Each step is explained thoroughly so you feel confident in your treatment plan.

What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are used for a variety of restorative and cosmetic treatments. They are the recommended treatment option for patients suffering from damaged, broken, or severely decayed teeth. After the damage and decay are cleared and the existing tooth structure is shaped into a sturdy platform, a dental crown can be placed. 

 

These tooth-shaped caps cover the natural tooth down to the gum line, protecting the remaining tooth while maintaining the look, feel, and functionality of your smile. Crowns are also commonly used to complete root canal therapy or a dental implant procedure.

What is the Difference Between Inlays, Onlays, and Crowns?

Inlays restore valleys and grooves of the tooth with lab-fabricated material similar to a crown. They’re stronger than a filling and can provide strength to restore a larger portion of the tooth structure. 

 

On the other hand, onlays cover the cusp and biting edges of the tooth, restoring chipped or fractured enamel. They preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible and are more conservative than traditional crowns. Because of their conservative nature, onlays are sometimes referred to as three-quarter crowns. 

Precision and Conservative Dentistry

After removing decay or fractured tooth structure, a digital scan of the tooth is taken and sent to a technician at the dental laboratory. Depending on the tooth’s needs, inlays and onlays are milled like a crown from zirconia or a ceramic block.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are an excellent solution for restoring damaged teeth, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits. They are designed to protect and strengthen your tooth while blending seamlessly with your natural smile. A few benefits of choosing dental crowns for your dental restoration needs include the following:

  • Durability: Crowns are made from strong, high-quality materials like ceramic and zirconia, which can withstand daily wear and tear and last many years with proper care.
  • Protection: A crown shields a weakened or cracked tooth, preventing further damage and preserving the tooth’s natural structure.
  • Natural appearance: Custom-made to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth, crowns seamlessly blend with the aesthetics of your smile.
  • Improved function and comfort: Crowns restore your ability to chew pain-free, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without discomfort.

These restorations enhance the health and appearance of your smile and provide a lasting solution for damaged teeth. At Enso Dental Arts, Dr. Hiruma ensures every crown is tailored to your unique dental needs, offering the perfect balance of form and function.

The Dental Crown Treatment Process

Dr. Hiruma and her team strive to make the dental crown process as smooth and comfortable as possible. From the first appointment to the final placement, we guide you through the following steps with care and attention to detail:

  • Initial evaluation: Dr. Hiruma will examine your tooth, discuss your concerns, and determine if a crown, inlay, or onlay is the best solution for you.
  • Preparing the tooth: To make room for the crown, we carefully reshape the tooth, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit for your restoration.
  • Taking impressions: We take a precise mold or digital scan of your prepared tooth to ensure your crown seamlessly blends with your natural teeth.
  • Temporary crown: A temporary crown may be placed to protect your tooth, while your permanent crown is custom-made.
  • Final crown placement: Once your custom crown is ready, we’ll place it, make any necessary adjustments, and bond it securely to your tooth.

Throughout the process, we prioritize your comfort and satisfaction, delivering a personalized result that restores both function and appearance to your smile.
