Enhance Your Smile with Dental Crown Services at Biggio Dental Care

Do you have a damaged or decayed tooth? Dental crowns in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, can improve your tooth’s appearance, health, and function. Biggio Dental Care offers custom-fitted porcelain crowns to resemble your natural teeth’ tone and contours. So, when Dr. Chad Biggio and his team restore your compromised tooth with a porcelain crown, your tooth looks and functions like your natural teeth.

Why do I need a dental crown?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped appliance worn over an existing tooth or implant. It can be made from metal, composites, or ceramics like porcelain. Metal crowns are the most durable, but their unnatural look is a turn-off for many people. Many patients love porcelain crowns because they maintain an optimal balance of aesthetics and durability.

So, why would you need a crown? Here are some reasons.

  • To strengthen a structurally weakened tooth
  • To restore a dental implant
  • To support a traditional dental bridge
  • To reinforce your tooth after a root canal
  • To cosmetically improve a misshapen, rotated, or discolored tooth

While several dentists claim to place dental crowns, only a few have the necessary skills and experience to deliver high-quality crown placements consistently. Dr. Biggio has a deep understanding of dental anatomy and stays abreast of the latest advancements in materials and techniques to develop high-quality restorations. Our porcelain crowns offer a perfect fit and alignment and blend seamlessly with your natural dentition for optimal aesthetics.

What should I expect from dental crown treatment?

The procedure for getting a dental crown is quick and straightforward. After an initial consultation to establish your eligibility for a crown, we’ll prepare your tooth by reshaping it to make room for it.

Then, we will take digital scans of your prepped tooth and send the records to our dental lab. Our master ceramist will craft your customized crown meticulously, taking into account your tooth’s color, shape, contours, etc. As you wait for your new crown, we’ll place a temporary crown on your prepped tooth to maintain its function and appearance.

When we receive your new crown, you’ll come to our office for placement. After inspecting its fit and alignment, we’ll use strong dental cement to bond it to your tooth. That’s it! A dental crown restores your aesthetics and function so you can confidently walk out of our office.

How do I care for my dental crown?

Now that we have restored your smile with a dental crown, it doesn’t mean your oral hygiene must change. Dental crowns are maintained the same way you care for your natural teeth. Observe the following tips, and your crown will last 15-plus years, offering fantastic value for your investment.

  • Brush and floss diligently
  • Visit a dentist every six months
  • Wear a customized mouthguard if you brush your teeth
  • Avoid using your teeth as tools to bite fingernails and open bottle tops
  • Although porcelain crowns are stain-resistant, avoid smoking
  • Protect your crown from sports injuries by wearing a customized athletic mouthguard
