Understanding Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are a versatile solution recommended for a variety of dental issues. Whether you’re looking to protect a weakened tooth, restore a broken one, or cover a dental implant, crowns offer both cosmetic and functional benefits. Made from materials that mimic the appearance of natural teeth, crowns are custom-fitted to cover the entire tooth, from the gum line up.
Candidates for dental crowns include individuals with severely decayed teeth, damaged teeth, or those undergoing root canal therapy. During your consultation, Shauna H. Gammage, Jamila J. Jenkins, or Leah Asher will assess your specific situation to determine if a dental crown is the right choice for you.
What to Expect During the Dental Crown Process
The process of getting a dental crown typically involves two visits to our Decatur office. During the first visit, we’ll prepare the affected tooth and take impressions, which will be used to craft your custom crown. A temporary crown will be placed to protect the tooth while your permanent crown is being made. On your second visit, the temporary crown will be removed, and your new crown will be securely fitted and adjusted for comfort and functionality.
Our team understands that dental procedures can be daunting, which is why we emphasize comfort and safety throughout your treatment. From the initial consultation to the placement of your crown, we’re here to ensure a smooth, stress-free experience.

At our Decatur practice, we believe in transparency when it comes to the cost of your dental care.
