Dental Crowns in Henderson, NV - Restore and Strengthen Your Smile with Brilliant Smiles Dentistry

Dental crowns are custom-made restorations that completely cover a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, size, and strength. Crowns are typically recommended for teeth that are too damaged to be repaired with a simple filling. Here are some common reasons why Dr. Alivia might recommend a dental crown:

• To Protect a Weakened Tooth: Crowns can prevent further breakage of a cracked or worn-down tooth.
• After Root Canal Therapy: A crown is often placed to restore a tooth’s structure after a Root Canal.
• For Large Cavities or Fillings: When a cavity or filling is too large, a crown provides extra support to protect the tooth.
• To Enhance Cosmetic Appearance: Crowns can be used to improve the appearance of discolored, misshapen, or misaligned teeth as part of a Smile Makeover.

At Brilliant Smiles, Dr. Alivia works closely with top dental labs to ensure every crown is meticulously crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing you with a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution.

• Porcelain Crowns
  Porcelain crowns are designed to mimic the natural color and translucency of teeth, making them a popular choice for front teeth. They are highly aesthetic and blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth for a flawless look.
• Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns
  These crowns combine the strength of metal with the natural appearance of porcelain. They are durable and suitable for both front and back teeth.
• Zirconia Crowns
  Known for their strength and biocompatibility, zirconia crowns are a great option for patients seeking a durable restoration, especially for molars and other heavily used teeth.

Dr. Alivia will discuss the best material options for your specific needs, ensuring a custom solution that balances aesthetics and functionality.

Dr. Julian Alivia will examine your teeth to determine if a crown is necessary. If it's found that you do need a crown, it is best to have the work done right away to prevent further damage to the tooth. If you have an older crown that needs to be replaced, we can do this easily in our office at your own convenience. Crowns can be placed over virtually any tooth within the mouth in need of restoration.

1. Consultation and Assessment
   Your journey begins with a consultation at Brilliant Smiles Henderson. Dr. Alivia will assess your dental needs, take Dental X-rays, and discuss your treatment goals. This examination helps determine if a crown is the best option or if another restorative solution, such as a Dental Filling or Inlay/Onlay, would be more suitable.
2. Tooth Preparation
   Once a crown is recommended, Dr. Alivia will prepare the affected tooth by removing any decayed or damaged tissue and shaping it to fit the crown securely. We prioritize patient comfort, and the procedure is typically performed with local anesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience.
3. Digital Impressions
   After preparing the tooth, we take a digital impression to create a precise model for your crown. This step ensures that your crown will fit perfectly and look natural. While your custom crown is being crafted, Dr. Alivia may place a temporary crown to protect your tooth.
4. Crown Placement
   When your custom crown is ready, you'll return to our Henderson office for the final placement. Dr. Alivia will make any necessary adjustments to ensure the crown fits comfortably and securely. Once satisfied, he’ll cement the crown into place, restoring your tooth’s function and appearance.
5. Follow-Up and Maintenance
   With proper care, dental crowns can last many years. Regular check-ups and cleanings at Brilliant Smiles Henderson, combined with good oral hygiene, will help ensure the longevity of your crown and overall oral health.

By choosing Brilliant Smiles for your crown needs, you’re benefiting from a holistic approach to Restorative Dentistry, where every step of your treatment is designed for comfort, durability, and aesthetic appeal.
