Dental Crowns
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom designed, tooth-shaped cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its original shape, size, strength, and appearance. At Gil Dental Clinic, Dr. Yeendy Gil, DMD, crafts exquisite, natural looking crowns that seamlessly blend with your smile. Finding an experienced dentist in Hialeah, FL ensures your restoration looks flawless and functions perfectly. As your premier Hialeah dental office, we use premium materials to create crowns that not only protect your teeth but dramatically enhance your confidence.
Benefits Of Dental Crowns
Crowns are one of the most versatile and durable restorations available, offering extensive benefits:
STRUCTURAL REINFORCEMENT
Crowns provide a strong, protective shield for teeth that have been severely weakened by large cavities, fractures, or after undergoing root canal therapy.
AESTHETIC TRANSFORMATION
Custom crafted from high quality porcelain, our crowns perfectly mimic the light reflecting properties of natural enamel, correcting severe discoloration or misshapen teeth.
LONG-LASTING DURABILITY
With proper care, a premium dental crown can withstand the heavy forces of chewing and last for many years, acting as a reliable, permanent addition to your smile.
VERSATILE RESTORATIVE COMPANION
Crowns are essential finishing pieces. They are used to anchor bridges, and they serve as the visible, beautiful “tooth” portion placed on top of dental implants in Hialeah.
What Can You Expect During A Dental Crowns Treatment?
Receiving a dental crown is a precise, two-step process that guarantees a perfect fit and stunning results:
TOOTH PREPARATION AND IMPRESSIONS
Dr. Yeendy Gil will gently reshape the enamel of the affected tooth to make room for the crown. We then take highly accurate digital impressions to ensure your new crown fits flawlessly.
TEMPORARY PROTECTION
While our specialized laboratory crafts your permanent crown—saving you a trip for cosmetic dental in Miami—we will place a beautiful temporary crown to protect your tooth and maintain your smile.
FINAL PLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT
During your second visit, we remove the temporary cap and place your permanent custom crown. We meticulously check your bite, make any necessary adjustments, and permanently bond it to your tooth.
Our Approach To Dental Crowns
Frequently Asked
Questions
Does getting a crown hurt?
Not at all. We use local anesthesia to completely numb the tooth and surrounding area before preparing it. You may experience some mild sensitivity afterward, but the procedure itself is painless.
How long does a dental crown last?
A well crafted porcelain crown can last between 10 to 15 years, or even a lifetime, provided you maintain excellent oral hygiene and attend your regular checkups.
Will my dental crown look like a fake tooth?
Absolutely not. We use advanced, tooth-colored porcelain that matches the exact shade, translucency, and texture of your natural teeth. It will be virtually indistinguishable from the rest of your smile.
Can a crowned tooth still get a cavity?
While the porcelain crown itself cannot decay, the natural tooth structure underneath it still can, particularly at the gum line. Daily brushing and flossing remain absolutely essential.
How do I care for my temporary crown?
While wearing a temporary crown, avoid sticky, chewy, or very hard foods that could dislodge it. When flossing, slide the floss out horizontally rather than pulling it up. If it comes loose, contact our front office right away for guidance.
