Dental Crowns in Naples, FL

A tooth that has been damaged or weakened from tooth decay can usually be restored with a dental crown. Junée F. Gardy DDS, PA offers dental crowns made from porcelain or zirconia to Naples, FL residents to help protect the visible part of a damaged tooth from getting worse while also restoring its normal shape and size. Dental crowns are custom-designed to blend with your natural teeth and are commonly used to treat teeth that are fractured, cracked, or oddly shaped. These dental restorations may also be merged into an appliance to function as a bridge or placed over individual dental implants to replace missing teeth. Set up a consultation with Dr. Junée F. Gardy to discover if a custom crown may improve your smile.

At Junée F. Gardy DDS, PA, a crown can be used for the back and front teeth. It might be 100% ceramic or made of other materials, such as porcelain over a metal substrate or a high-noble metal (like gold). Our experienced dental team will look at your tooth and help you determine the right type of crown procedure for your needs and smile desires.

Immediately after your dental crown is placed, you may experienced some discomfort, tenderness, and sensitivity around the tooth and gums. Dr. Gardy may recommend that you adjust your diet for a few days to include soft, lukewarm foods and liquids while avoiding hard, crunchy, overly hot foods, and other items. Most patients are able to enjoy their normal diet and activities within a few days to a week after treatment, though this can vary somewhat based on individual patient and case factors. After you have recovered and adjusted to your new crown, you'll be able to care for it just as you would a natural tooth - with twice-daily brushing, flossing, and rinsing as directed. You'll also need to keep your regularly scheduled dental exams and in-office cleanings to help preserve your dental crown for as long as possible.
