Dental Crowns Indianapolis, IN

A high-quality dental crown can often strengthen and protect a single tooth that’s damaged or worn down. Also known as a cap, custom-made dental crowns fit over the affected tooth and match the color of your surrounding teeth for a seamless and natural appearance. MINT dentistry offers custom crowns to protect a weak tooth, treat a large cavity, restore cracked teeth, and cover discolored teeth. We use high-grade porcelain crowns so your results look natural. We love that our patients have the most stunning smiles in Indianapolis, IN. Please schedule an appointment at our luxurious dental center to get more information about how a dental crown can restore your smile and oral health.

There are several different dental situations where a custom dental crown is recommended. You may need a crown to keep a tooth (weakened by decay) from breaking or to fix a cracked tooth, repair a worn down or discolored tooth, mask an oddly shaped tooth, or protect a tooth that has received a root canal. Our Indianapolis, IN dental experts also place crowns to treat larger cavities, function as part of a dental bridge, and connect to dental implants to replace missing teeth. At MINT dentistry, our crowns are custom-made with top-quality porcelain and are placed using state-of-the-art techniques to help make sure you have a long-lasting result that looks natural and attractive.

To keep you comfortable during your treatment, we'll provide Beats headphones and MINT sunglasses and help you relax into our massaging treatment chairs. Once you're ready, we'll numb the treatment area with a local anesthetic. Other sedation methods may be available if you experience anxiety about the process. When you're ready, your MINT dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any areas of damage and reducing the enamel structure so the dental crown fits snugly. Our team will then get digital impressions of the treatment area (or a previously placed dental implant) to help us design your custom restoration. We will use a temporary restoration to protect your tooth as the dental lab makes your custom crown. Once your custom crown is crafted, our support staff will set up an appointment for placement. Then, the restoration is cemented onto the tooth (or attached to a dental implant). After your crown sets, we will adjust the fit to feel comfortable and match your natural teeth.

You'll be able to resume your normal daily routine after your dental crown is placed unless we use stronger sedation methods. We will demonstrate how to care for your crown, including going over any foods to avoid and the best way to keep it clean. In certain instances, our team might suggest you come back for a follow-up visit to check your bite once the crown has settled in place to ensure the ideal alignment. During your exams, your dentist will assess your crown, make sure it feels comfortable, and talk to you about when it should be repaired or replaced; however, with proper care, a restoration should last many years. Contact us if you experience any concerns, such as if it becomes loose or falls out. If your crown falls out or breaks, don't try to fix or put it back in since this may cause more extensive issues, like an infection or an uneven bite.

A portion of your dental crown may be covered by insurance based on your coverage. Once we have contacted your insurance company, our office can calculate your remaining bill. In your consultation, your dentist can help you select the best material for your crown that fits your needs and budget. Our financial coordinator will also go over the payment methods we accept, including the MINT discount plan, which can help make your treatment easier to afford. MINT dentistry in Indianapolis, IN is dedicated to giving all our patients an attractive smile. Our dental crowns are crafted from the highest-quality materials.
