Benefits of Crowns

Dr. Lande offers traditional and same-day dental crowns to meet the individual needs of our patients. Both types of restorations offer a number of benefits, including:

Repair and Protect

Following treatment for trauma or decay, a porcelain crown is placed over the affected tooth to protect it from further damage. Prompt treatment can save your smile by helping you avoid the need for extraction.

Long-Term Solution

The porcelain used for dental crowns is engineered to withstand regular use and normal biting forces. A porcelain dental crown can last a decade or longer with proper care and regular visits to the dentist.

Life-Like Results

Dr. Lande uses porcelain that mimics the light-reflecting properties of natural tooth enamel. He will color match your new crown to your surrounding teeth so your new restoration blends naturally with your smile.

For your convenience, our dental office offers same-day crowns which offer even more benefits. This option allows you to skip the bulky temporary crowns and multiple appointments needed for traditional dental crowns. 

Brand-New Crowns in Just One Appointment

Dr. Gerry Lande of Lande Cosmetic, Implant, and Family Dentistry discusses how advances in dentistry have made dental crowns more durable and lifelike than ever before. At our Carmel, IN, practice, we have the technology to design, craft, and place brand-new porcelain crowns in just one appointment. Get your smile back on track faster by working with us.

​Porcelain Dental Crowns A Flexible Solution

Dental crowns from Lande Cosmetic, Implant and Family Dentistry can address a number of conditions, including:
Broken tooth

Damaged Teeth

Even with the incredible advances in modern dentistry, nothing beats a natural tooth. A permanent crown can add strength to teeth that have been damaged by physical trauma or extensive dental decay.

Root Canal

When decay reaches the inner portion of a tooth, a root canal can eliminate the infected tissue and restore your dental health. A permanent crown will then be placed to protect the remaining tooth structure.

The Risks of Not Getting a Crown

Some patients ask why they should get a crown if the affected tooth or teeth are not bothering them. The long-term risks to your oral health can mean issues such as:

Spread of Decay/Infection

Dental damage can leave a tooth prone to infection, as the damage means bacteria can enter the tooth. Left untreated, existing decay and infection may spread to other parts of your mouth or even your bloodstream, creating a risk to your oral and overall health. This can also lead to pain, reduced oral function, and much more. 

More Damage

A damaged tooth is not only susceptible to infection but also risks more damage. By protecting a damaged tooth with a dental crown, you can preserve the tooth structure and prevent the need for extraction later. While preserving a tooth is the first priority, if damage and decay are left untreated, a dental extraction may be needed to preserve your oral health. 

Same-Day Dental Crown Treatment Timeline

Skip multiple visits to the dentist and having to deal with a bulky temporary crown with a same-day dental crown. While every case is different, you can expect treatment with a same-day crown to include:
"With the help of our in-office CEREC system, Dr. Lande can place a permanent crown in a single appointment."
"With the help of our in-office CEREC system, Dr. Lande can place a permanent crown in a single appointment."

Examination

Dr. Lande will first inspect the compromised tooth. He will also discuss your concerns and goals to determine the best treatment method to improve your oral health and provide you with incredible cosmetic results.

Preparation

Depending on whether you need to repair a damaged tooth, undergo a root canal, or reshape an imperfect tooth, Dr. Lande will apply his experience and expertise to create a stable base for your new crown.

Impressions

For same-day crowns, Dr. Lande uses detailed digital impressions which allow you to skip the mess of traditional impressions.

Fabrication

Our CEREC milling machine will create your new crown while you wait. Depending on the complexity of your crown, the process can take anywhere from five to 20 minutes to complete.

Crown Placement

Dr. Lande will place your crown and make any final adjustments to provide you with an optimized bite and beautiful, confident smile.

Restored Smile

In as little as an hour, you can enjoy your new smile. You may experience mild sensitivity following treatment, but it typically resolves on its own in a few days.

Dental crowns can be cared for just like your natural teeth. Continue to brush at least twice a day, floss daily, and attend regular dental check-ups at our office once every six months.

Maintaining Your Dental Crown

With proper maintenance, your dental crown can last for 10 years or longer. Here are a few tips to keep your crown and mouth healthy for years to come.

Maintain Good Oral Hygiene

It is very important for your overall oral health to maintain oral hygiene by brushing with a soft bristle brush for at least two minutes, twice a day. Don't forget to floss after brushing! Not only will this keep your natural teeth healthy, but it will also help you maintain your dental crown.

Visit Your Dentist

Regular visits to your dentist are very important. Our Carmel dentistry practice can help, and provides regular cleanings and exams. This will help you keep your smile healthy and catch problems before they can worsen. It is suggested that you see your dentist at least twice a year.

Be Mindful of Certain Foods

Hard or sticky foods such as ice or caramel can damage your crown or cause it to dislodge. Avoid these things or chew on the side without a crown to help keep your new restoration beautiful for as long as possible.
