They are made of durable, biocompatible porcelain that blends right in with your natural smile.<\/p>\n<h2>What Are Crowns Used For?<\/h2>\n<p>These are the treatment method of choice for many situations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your tooth has extensive decay and a filling is not enough.<\/li>\n<li>Your tooth is injured or broken.<\/li>\n<li>Your tooth is weak and needs reinforcement.<\/li>\n<li>Your tooth is misshapen and you\u2019d like an aesthetic upgrade.<\/li>\n<li>You have a missing tooth and are getting a dental implant.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What Is The Process For a Crown?<\/h2>\n<p>Dr. Simmons will see you twice to complete the process. In the first visit, he\u2019ll prepare the existing tooth and take impressions of the area. He\u2019ll send the information to the lab to custom create your crown. Then, you\u2019ll have a temporary crown attached and use this until the permanent one is done<strong>.<\/strong> In the second appointment, you\u2019ll have your permanent crown placed.<\/p>\n<h2>How Long Do Crowns Last?<\/h2>\n<p>With the high-quality porcelain used by our labs, we have remarkably long-lasting results for dental crowns.
