How Dental Crown Treatment Restores Damaged Teeth
One wrong bite. One unexpected fall. That’s all it takes to end up with a damaged tooth. It’s frustrating. But Granite Bay Dentistry can help get things back to normal. Dr. Colby Smith offers expert dental crown care that looks good and lasts. When folks around here search for a crowns dentist near me, this is the name that comes up.
What Exactly Does a Dental Crown Do for My Teeth?
Think of a dental crown like a helmet for your tooth. It’s a custom cap that covers and protects a tooth that’s been weakened, cracked, or worn down. It brings back strength, shape, and function. Crowns are often placed after a root canal when the tooth needs extra support. Porcelain ones? They blend right in. No one will even notice they’re there.
How Can Porcelain Crowns Help Rebuild My Teeth?
Porcelain crowns aren’t just about looks. They’re tough, reliable, and built to do the job. Maybe your tooth has a big cavity that a filling can’t fix. Or you had a root canal and need to seal the deal. Porcelain crowns can also:
- Reinforce cracked or broken teeth
- Support a dental bridge
- Cover up teeth that are oddly shaped or worn down
They protect, restore, and help your smile stay together. It’s as simple as that.
What Happens During a Crown Appointment at Granite Bay Dentistry?
Traditionally, getting a crown means two visits. First, the tooth is shaped, and an impression is taken. A temporary crown is placed, and you come back for the final one. Granite Bay Dentistry also offers CEREC same-day crowns using digital scans and in-house milling. One visit. No goop. No second trip. Just results.
Are One-Visit Crowns Really as Good as Traditional Options?
Yes, they hold their own. Same-day crowns are created using precise digital tools, allowing for a snug, accurate fit. Modern materials are just as durable as those used in traditional crowns.

How Much Will a Crown Change the Way My Smile Looks?
Not much. Unless you’re looking for an upgrade, crowns are custom-made to match the color and shape of your surrounding teeth. At Granite Bay Dentistry, the team takes extra care to ensure your crown blends right in.
What’s the Best Way to Maintain a Dental Crown?
Most dental crowns last between 10 and 15 years, sometimes longer, with proper care. Treat them like your natural teeth. Brush twice a day, floss regularly, and keep up with dental visits. Avoid using your teeth as tools; use a mouthguard if you grind your teeth or chew hard objects.
Good habits keep your crown strong and your smile lasting.
