Why Should I Get Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are a fantastic option for anyone looking to preserve their natural teeth while enhancing their smile. They offer a reliable solution for teeth that are cracked, worn down, or severely decayed. By getting a dental crown, you not only protect your tooth from further damage but also improve its strength and functionality.
Crowns are also an excellent choice for enhancing the aesthetics of your smile, as they can be color-matched to your existing teeth. This means that your dental restoration will look completely natural. Furthermore, dental crowns can last for many years with proper care, making them a worthwhile investment in your oral health.


The Benefits Of Dental Crowns
Restoration of Functionality
Dental crowns restore the full function of a damaged tooth, allowing you to chew and speak comfortably. By covering the entire tooth, crowns provide a stable and durable surface, improving your bite and overall oral health.
Enhanced Aesthetics
Crafted to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, dental crowns enhance the appearance of your smile. They can correct discoloration, misshapen teeth, and other cosmetic concerns, giving you a beautiful, confident smile.
Protection and Durability
Dental crowns protect weakened teeth from further damage or decay, effectively extending the life of your natural tooth. Made from strong materials, they offer long-lasting durability, making them an excellent investment for your oral health.
The Dental Crowns Treatment Process

Consultation and Evaluation
The journey to getting a dental crown begins with a comprehensive consultation and evaluation at Cactus Horizon Dental. During this visit, Dr. Michael Hess will assess the condition of your tooth and discuss your treatment goals. He will take X-rays and impressions to ensure a precise fit for your custom crown. This initial step is crucial for developing a tailored treatment plan that meets your unique needs and ensures the best outcome.
Tooth Preparation and Impression
Once your treatment plan is in place, the next step involves preparing the tooth for the crown. Dr. Hess will gently shape the tooth to accommodate the crown, removing any decay or damaged tooth material. After the tooth is prepared, an impression is taken to create a model of your tooth and the surrounding teeth. This model is used to design a crown that fits perfectly within your bite and aligns seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Crown Placement and Final Adjustments
When your custom crown is ready, you will return to Cactus Horizon Dental for the final placement. Dr. Hess will ensure the crown fits comfortably and looks natural, making any necessary adjustments for a perfect fit. Once both you and Dr. Hess are satisfied with the crown's fit and appearance, it will be permanently bonded to your tooth. This final step restores the tooth's function and aesthetic, leaving you with a beautiful, durable smile.
