Dental Crowns
Dental Crowns in Gig Harbor, Washington
We clean and maintain your healthy, strong smile while Dr. Duffy and his team at Peninsula Family Dentistry deliver high-quality, precise restoration work in a comfortable, calm environment. When you face a dental issue like a cavity, a beautiful, strong, and properly placed restoration, such as a dental crown, saves you time and money by preventing repetitive procedures. Our dental crowns in Gig Harbor look and feel natural, protecting your tooth and preserving the integrity of your mouth’s structure.
When we detect a large cavity in a tooth that a traditional filling cannot restore, we use a dental crown to cover the entire top portion of the tooth, fully restoring its shape and function.
What is a Crown?
The natural crown of each tooth is the visible outer portion that enables you to perform daily functions and gives each tooth its unique shape and characteristics. Cavities in the enamel can be frequent for some people, but if left untreated, they can spread and infect most of the tooth.
Dental crowns in Gig Harbor seamlessly fit into your unique smile. Each crown matches the size, shape, and color of your surrounding teeth to blend naturally. Made from strong porcelain, every dental crown withstands the pressure and force of chewing, ensuring both durability and a natural appearance.
Why a Dental Crown?
- We use precision-engineered crowns when a cavity has removed most of the enamel. Leaving the tooth uncovered can lead to severe decay, tooth loss, and significant pain. Crowns also protect cracked or damaged teeth, offering a reliable solution.
- Crowns provide your teeth with 360-degree protection and are designed to look natural, seamlessly blending with your other teeth for a cohesive, healthy smile.
- Furthermore, porcelain is a durable, artificial material with a pearly white sheen. Plus, the artificial material is also immune to cavities and decay, protecting your remaining original tooth and root.
- Moreover, dental crowns can last you decades, if not a lifetime, with proper care and maintenance.
- Lastly, crowns cover one or more dental implants to achieve a beautiful smile. Dr. Duffy is an excellent choice if you are looking for an expert to create the crowns that will complete your implant process.
When you come into Peninsula Family Dentistry with a large cavity, we can help you decide which restorative option is best for you. While tooth-colored composite resin fillings have advanced tremendously in strength and versatility, Dr. Duffy often recommends the dental crown for its durability and natural look. And rest assured, when you choose us, if you have any concerns or post-procedural discomfort, we will want to know so we can help you right away!
