Rebuild Damaged Teeth Beautifully
Is a damaged tooth keeping you from smiling with confidence? Dental crowns in Salt Lake City, UT, cap and protect a weak, cracked, or worn tooth, restoring its strength and natural appearance with a single custom restoration. At Rod Gleave, DMD, we craft crowns that look, feel, and function just like your own teeth.
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth, fully covering it down to the gumline. It restores the tooth's shape, size, and strength while protecting what remains underneath. Crowns are used to repair cracked, broken, or heavily decayed teeth, to cover a tooth after a root canal, or to complete an implant or bridge. At Rod Gleave, DMD, we use natural-looking, tooth-colored materials so your restored smile blends in beautifully. Dr. Gleave has placed more than 10,000 porcelain veneers and esthetic porcelain crowns over his career.
Signs You May Need Dental Crowns
-
Cracked Tooth: A cracked, chipped, or broken tooth often needs a crown to hold it together and protect it from further damage.
-
Large Cavity: When decay is too extensive for a filling, a crown restores the tooth's strength and seals out future problems.
-
After Treatment: Teeth can become brittle after a root canal, and a crown protects them from fracturing as you bite and chew.
-
Worn Teeth: Severely worn or weakened teeth can be rebuilt with crowns, restoring both their function and their natural appearance.
