Crowns

Dental crowns are a sort of cosmetic repair that strengthens or improves the appearance of a tooth. Crowns are used to heal teeth that have been damaged, worn down, or partially destroyed by dental decay. Velle Dental is Cincinnati’s leading provider of high-quality dental crown restorations.

Since a crown is permanently attached to an existing tooth and completely covers the tooth above the gum line, it acts as the tooth’s new outer surface. A crown can be made of porcelain, metal, or a combination of the two. The most popular option is porcelain, which closely resembles the translucency of a natural tooth and is exceedingly durable.

We will recommend a crown or onlay (partial crown) when your tooth is not strong enough to hold a filling. A crown is manufactured from a cast and placed over your tooth, as opposed to a filling, which places the restorative material directly inside your tooth. While designing your crown in a lab using your unique tooth impression, a dental laboratory technician evaluates all elements of your bite and jaw movements. The crown is then sculpted especially for you so that your bite and jaw movements are unaffected once it is in place. After placing your crown, your dentist will ensure that it fits precisely and that your bite and smile look great!

We want you to be happy with your smile and the condition of your teeth. If you’re looking for affordable dental crowns in Cincinnati, give us a call!
