Dental Crowns in Birmingham, AL

Dental crowns, also known as caps, are durable coverings that encase damaged or weakened teeth to make them more resistant and guard them against cavities and sensitivity. Whether you need to protect a weak tooth or restore a damaged one, our experts at Birmingham Emergency Dental provide custom crowns by:

  • Taking impressions of the tooth
  • Creating and attaching your new crown
  • Removing decay and damage

When Do You Need a Dental Crown?

Severe Decay

Dental crowns are often used when a tooth has severe decay that a regular composite filling can't fix. In these cases, the damage has compromised too much of the tooth's structure.

Root Canal Therapy

After undergoing root canal therapy to treat infection or damage within a tooth, a dental crown is often attached to protect and strengthen the treated tooth.

Broken Teeth

Whether from injury or wear, a dental crown can effectively restore the shape, size, and appearance of a damaged tooth.

How Is the Process for Getting Dental Crowns?

If you're a fit candidate for a dental crown, we will prepare the tooth by eliminating any decay or damage and creating a clean surface for the crown. After this step, we will take impressions of your prepared tooth to make a custom restoration.

While your permanent crown is being crafted, we will place a temporary crown to protect your tooth. When we have your personalized crown, we will fix it to your tooth using a safe adhesive and make adjustments to ensure it fits.

The entire process is usually completed over a few visits, with the result being a restored tooth that looks and functions like a natural one.
