Crowns (Caps)

Porcelain Crowns (Caps) in Birmingham, MI

A crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size.  A crown protects and strengthens tooth structure that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations.

Although there are several types of crowns, porcelain (tooth colored crown) are the most popular.  They are highly durable and will last many years, but like most dental restorations, they may eventually need to be replaced.  Porcelain crowns are made to match the shape, size, and color or your teeth giving you a natural, long-lasting beautiful smile.

Reasons for crowns:

  • Broken or fractured teeth.
  • Cosmetic enhancement.
  • Decayed teeth.
  • Fractured fillings.
  • Large fillings.
  • Tooth has a root canal.

What does getting a crown involve?

A crown procedure usually requires two appointments.  Your first appointment will include taking several highly accurate molds (or impressions) that will be used to create your custom crown.  A mold will also be used to create a temporary crown which will stay on your tooth for approximately two weeks until your new crown is fabricated by a dental laboratory.

While the tooth is numb, the dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any decay and shaping the surface to properly fit the crown.  Once these details are accomplished, your temporary crown will be placed with temporary cement and your bite will be checked to ensure you are biting properly.

At your second appointment your temporary crown will be removed, the tooth will be cleaned, and your new crown will be carefully placed to ensure the spacing and bite are accurate.

You will be given care instructions and encouraged to have regular dental visits to check your new crown.

Testimonials

I have been going to Dr. Bonadeo for about 30 years. He is very awesome in his practice, the excellence of his work is very obvious in each and every procedure he performs. Dr. Bonadeo is a great person as well, we always have a good time when I go in for an appt, we do have some good laughs sometimes.
His staff is very cooperative and always accommodating. Teeth cleaning is a breeze with Deanna the Hygenist, she is wonderful, and also has a great personality. My husband and I have been going to Dr. Bonadeo for so long, that we feel like family when we are there. His work speaks for itself, and that is why he has patients that have been going to him for their dental needs for so many years.

I am very happy with and highly recommend my dentist Dr. Bonadeo. I have been his patient for a few years now since my previous dentist retired. Dr. Bonadeo is not convenient to where I live, but it is worth my travel to be under his care for my dental needs. I have had fillings, replacement of old fillings, root canal, crowns, and teeth alignment procedures performed by the very competent Dr. Bonadeo, all of which have been extremely satisfactory to me. He is personable and very concerned of your comfort level during your procedure. Going to the dentist in the past had been a scary experience for me, but "thank you" Dr. Bonadeo for making that experience more comfortable!
