Dental Crowns in Louisville, KY

MINT dentists often utilize dental crowns to protect and strengthen damaged or weak teeth. Sometimes called a cap, dental crowns are made custom to fit over your tooth and match the color of your natural teeth for a natural look. MINT dentistry employs crowns to treat large cavities, protect weak teeth, restore cracked teeth, and cover discolored teeth. Our team of board-certified dental professionals uses high-grade porcelain crowns that look natural and improve your overall smile. MINT dentistry patients have the most stunning smiles in Louisville, KY. Contact us to schedule an initial consultation at our modern practice to find out more about how a dental crown can restore your oral health while keeping your smile dazzling.

There are many cases where your MINT dentist may recommend utilizing a dental crown. They may be used to keep a tooth that is weakened by decay from breaking, or they can hold together a cracked tooth. Crowns can be recommended to treat a tooth that is broken or discolored, cover a tooth that is oddly shaped, or cover teeth that have been treated with root canal therapy. Our Louisville, KY dentists also place crowns to treat moderate areas of decay, serve as part of a dental bridge, and complete the dental implant process for tooth replacement. At MINT dentistry, our crowns are custom-made with top-quality materials and are secured using state-of-the-art techniques to help ensure a beautiful result that lasts a long time.

To keep you comfortable during your time at our office, our team will offer you a stylish pair of MINT sunglasses to protect your eyes and Beats headphones to listen to music during your appointment. First, the area to be treated will be numbed with a local anesthetic. Stronger sedation methods are available if you have dental fears or anxieties. When you are ready, your MINT dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any decay and reducing the enamel so your dental crown fits well. We will then take impressions of your teeth (or a previously placed dental implant) to help design your custom restoration. A temporary cap will be put on to cover your tooth while your custom crown is in production. When your restoration is ready, our support staff will schedule a follow-up visit to have it placed. The restoration will be attached to your dental implant or cemented to your natural tooth. Once the crown is set in place, your dentist will adjust the fit so it feels comfortable.

If sedation is not used, then you should be able to resume your normal routine following your appointment. A member of our team will teach you the best way to care for your new crown, including any foods to avoid and the best way to keep it clean. If needed, you may need to schedule a follow-up appointment to check your bite after getting a crown to ensure the alignment is correct. During your exams and cleanings at MINT dentistry in Louisville, KY, a skilled dental professional will check your restoration and adjust the fit as needed so it feels comfortable. Your dentist will let you know when your crown should be repaired or replaced; however, with good care, a crown can last for a long time. If you experience any issues with your crown (for example, it falls out or feels loose), contact us right away. Don't try to fix it or put it back in because this may lead to an infection or a bad fit.

If you plan on using dental insurance, part of your costs may be covered. Once we have contacted your insurance, our office can better estimate your remaining bill. In your consultation, our practitioners will help you determine the best options for your crown to fit your budget. A staff member will also review the payment methods we accept, including the MINT discount plan, which can help make your treatment easier to afford. MINT dentistry in Louisville, KY is dedicated to helping each of our patients get an attractive smile. Our dental restorations are made with high-quality porcelain material to ensure your smile looks amazing.
