Dental Crowns, An Effective Decay and Dental Trauma Treatment
Teeth that are cracked or broken can cause pain or discomfort when you bite or chew, making them difficult to use. Damaged teeth are also more fragile and susceptible to decay and further breakage. Fortunately, there’s a practical solution to dealing with compromised teeth, and that’s dental crown treatment. Crowns for teeth compromised by damage or decay can make them look and function like new. If you live in Arcata, California, or nearby communities, you can come to Barsanti Dental Group for dental crown treatment.
About Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped, hollow caps that can be placed over compromised teeth to fortify their weak structure. These durable coverings act like helmets to protect vulnerable teeth from breakage and infection. If your tooth is decayed, we’ll treat the cavity first before covering it with a crown. A crown can extend the lifespan of a compromised tooth, so it can be used normally for biting and chewing for years.
When Crowns are Used
Dental trauma, decay, and wear and tear can take a toll on your teeth. Dental crowns help restore these vulnerable teeth to avoid extraction. A dental crown can infuse new life into compromised teeth by restoring their health, function, and appearance. Here are some typical situations where crowns are used:
- Repair chipped, fractured, or broken teeth
- Fortify weak or worn teeth to avoid breakage
- Strengthen fragile teeth weakened by decay
- Support delicate teeth that have undergone root canal therapy
- Anchor a dental bridge
- Replace missing teeth to complete implant treatment
Your teeth are too valuable to lose. Dr. Trish Barsanti will recommend crown treatment if a tooth can be repaired and restored with a crown. Repairing compromised teeth offers an alternative to having them removed.

CEREC Same Day Crowns
At Barsanti Dental Group, we offer CEREC same-day crown treatment to avoid delays in repairing damaged teeth and restoring your smile. Conventional crown treatment can take up to two weeks to complete. With CEREC technology, we can design, create, fabricate, and place your crown all on the same day to avoid interrupting your busy schedule.
Dental crowns can be used on front and back teeth to improve their function and restore aesthetics. Although crowns can be made from various materials, porcelain crowns are the most popular due to their durability and natural-looking tooth-colored appearance.
Porcelain dental crowns on the front teeth will blend with your smile to restore its beauty. Dental crowns can also improve the size or shape of misshapen front teeth to make them appear more uniform and even. On back teeth, the durability of porcelain crowns will withstand years of biting and chewing. By taking good care of your teeth, these crowns can last up to 15 years, protecting and restoring your tooth’s function and beauty.
