Dental Crowns

Patients with tooth decay and structural damage often have painful side effects that make it difficult to eat and speak comfortably.

Dr. Robert Arbuckle can restore your oral health and comfort and protect your tooth from future damage with a natural-looking dental crown.

Why is crown treatment so important for patients of our Wilton, CT, dental practice?

Repair Damage to Enhance Your Smile

5 REASONS FOR CROWNING A TOOTH

Tooth Decay

Over time, tooth decay can spread, eating away at healthy enamel. A dental crown provides comprehensive protection for a severely compromised tooth.

Root Canal Infection

If the bacterial infection reaches the inside of a tooth, you will need a root canal to clean out the inner chamber. Afterward, we place a crown to prevent future dental infections.

Large Filling

If you leave the tooth alone, the condition will likely worsen until extraction is the only option. Don’t risk your natural tooth when proactive restorative dentistry is simple. In just two appointments, we can fix the damage, enhance your smile, and restore your oral health.

Our Wilton practice crafts high-quality porcelain and zirconia dental crowns made to fit the precise definitions of your tooth.

Your Treatment Timeline

Here is what you can expect during your dental treatment at our Wilton practice:
  • 1. CONSULTATION

    We will begin by examining your smile and diagnosing your underlying dental condition. If you need a crown, we will discuss your options and plan your custom treatment.

  • 2. TOOTH PREP

    Next, our dentist will prepare your tooth for the dental crown by removing decay and cleaning out infection. Once it is sterile, we take high-tech digital impressions of your mouth and design the crown.

  • 3. TEMPORARY CROWN

    The impressions are sent off to our trusted dental lab, where trained porcelain ceramic technicians hand-craft the crown. In the meantime, our dentist will place a temporary crown to protect the tooth structure.

  • 4. PERMANENT CROWN

    Your custom-made permanent crown will be ready in approximately one week, and then you can return to the office for your second appointment. Our dentist removes the temporary crown and cleans your teeth once again. Finally, we apply special dental cement to the surface of your enamel and bond the crown in place.

If you need an implant-supported crown, your treatment timeline will look much different. Dental implants involve a surgical procedure to place the posts before you can restore the tooth. If you want to learn more about implant dentistry at our Wilton office, you find details on our website or send us a message — we will get back to you shortly.

If you are worried about out-of-pocket costs, we also offer flexible financing through CareCredit®. You can speak to our financial coordinator if you would like assistance developing a payment plan that works for you.
