Dental Crowns in Soldotna

Restoring Function and Aesthetics

At Gentle Dental, we are dedicated to helping you achieve a healthy, confident smile through high-quality restorative care. Dental crowns are one of the most reliable solutions for addressing severe tooth damage, improving functionality, and enhancing the appearance of your teeth. Whether you’re dealing with a broken tooth, extensive decay, or want to protect a tooth after a root canal, our skilled dentists, Dr. Crookston and Dr. Longfellow, offer patient-focused care tailored to your needs.

What Are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a custom-made “cap” placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Made from durable materials like porcelain, crowns are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. They are often used to:

  • Replace missing teeth.
  • Provide structural support to a damaged or weakened tooth.
  • Cover discoloration or misshapen teeth.
  • Protect a tooth after endodontic treatment (root canal therapy).

Dental crowns restore your smile and play a vital role in preserving your oral health by maintaining the proper alignment of your teeth and bite.

The Process of Getting a Dental Crown

Restoring a tooth with a dental crown typically involves two visits to our Soldotna office:

  1. Preparation Visit: During the first appointment, the damaged tooth is prepared by removing any decay or old restorations. We take an impression of your tooth, which serves as a model for crafting your custom crown. A temporary crown protects your tooth until the permanent one is ready.
  2. Placement Visit: At the second visit, we remove the temporary crown and fit the permanent crown, making adjustments for comfort and appearance before securely cementing it in place.

With proper care, your dental crown can last for decades, making it a valuable investment in oral health.

Why Choose Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns offer numerous benefits, including:

  • Restored chewing and speaking abilities.
  • Protection for teeth weakened by decay or fractures.
  • Improved appearance for discolored or damaged teeth.
  • Long-lasting durability and functionality.

For patients experiencing pain from hairline cracks or discomfort from older fillings, crowns can eliminate the pain and provide lasting relief.
