White Crowns Keep Smiles Healthy and Beautiful
Because the appearance of your smile is important, Dr. De Angelo may recommend white crowns to repair teeth that show when you speak or laugh. White crowns are made of porcelain or porcelain fused to metal, and they restore teeth with significant decay, cracks, or other damage, to full strength and health. In some cases, back teeth require all-metal crowns because of the intense pressure they must withstand.

If you need a crown, we'll schedule two appointments for the entire procedure. Dr. De Angelo will prepare your damaged tooth, make a dental impression for our laboratory, note your tooth color with a shade chart, and then attach a temporary crown to protect your teeth until the final restorations are ready. A dental ceramist will create your custom crown according to the precise impression we provide. Once your crown is ready, you'll visit us again, and Dr. De Angelo will permanently attach the restoration.

Before you leave your appointment, he will inspect how your top and bottom teeth come together. If necessary, Dr. De Angelo will make adjustments to your crown to ensure proper fit. Expect your new crown to keep your tooth healthy and strong for years to come! And if you received a white crown, only you and Dr. De Angelo will know that you have dental work.
