Affordable crowns for teeth from dentist in Dothan, AL

Dental crowns have been in use for a long time, but their quality and versatility continue to evolve. Dr. Nathan Pfister and Dr. Brian Pfister use crowns for teeth to resolve many functional and aesthetic dental problems. Patients in the Dothan, AL area trust Biodentist Alabama for affordable dental care that benefits whole-body wellness.

Materials and procedure

Throughout history, dental crowns have been made of a variety of materials. Today, stainless-steel, metal alloys, noble (non-reactive) metals including gold, and porcelain fused to metal are common. However, in keeping with dentistry that “first does no harm,” and promotes overall health, Dr. Nathan and Dr. Brian Pfister place only non-metal crowns. They utilize porcelain and dental ceramics. These crowns blend beautifully with natural teeth. They are strong, durable, and resist staining.

The crown procedure usually involves two visits. One to prepare the tooth and take impressions. An interim composite resin restoration is placed, while a professional dental lab fabricates the final crown. You return to Biodentist Alabama in about two weeks. The “temporary” is removed and the new crown cemented in place. Usually, no numbing is required for the second appointment.

Multiple applications for crowns

The most common use for a crown is to restore the appearance and strength of a tooth badly compromised by decay or trauma. However, crowns are also used for:

Cosmetic improvement – A tooth that is short, worn down, oddly shaped, or permanently discolored can be brought into lovely symmetry with a porcelain crown.
Dental implant restoration – A dental implant replicates the root of a missing tooth. A crown finishes the restoration, providing a tooth that is indistinguishable from natural teeth in the smile.
Dental bridge – Crowns are placed on teeth adjacent to a gap. They hold a dental bridge with artificial teeth, securely in place.

Crowns for teeth can last a lifetime with good home hygiene, dental-friendly habits (no biting on hard objects, please!), and regular checkups at Biodentist Alabama in Dothan, AL.
