Dental Crowns

When a tooth is extensively damaged by decay, a fracture, or wear, it needs more than a simple filling. In these situations, we often recommend a dental crown. At Macabi Dental Associates in Roslyn, New York, Dr. Iris Zuckerman specializes in providing high-quality dental crowns. We can restore the function and beauty of your smile while also preserving your natural tooth structure.

Dr. Zuckerman and our experienced team are committed to providing personalized restorative solutions. We meticulously design each dental crown to ensure a seamless and natural-looking result.

What is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made, tooth-shaped cap. We place this cap over the entire visible portion of a damaged tooth. Think of it as a protective “helmet” that strengthens the tooth and prevents further damage. Our dental crowns are precisely crafted from durable materials like porcelain, ceramic, or zirconia. This ensures they match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth.

Moreover, we use dental crowns as a versatile solution for many restorative procedures:

• To restore a broken, severely decayed, or weakened tooth.

• To protect a tooth after a root canal procedure.

• To cover a dental implant post.

• To serve as an anchor for a dental bridge.

Key Benefits of Our Custom Dental Crowns:

Choosing a dental crown at our Roslyn, NY practice offers a wide range of advantages for your oral health and smile. For starters, here are some key benefits:

• Comprehensive Tooth Restoration: A crown provides a complete restoration for teeth that have suffered significant decay, extensive fractures, or wear. Therefore, it addresses multiple issues with a single treatment.

• Preservation of Natural Tooth Structure: By encasing the weakened tooth, a crown allows us to retain more of your natural tooth structure. This minimizes the need for extraction and preserves the tooth for years to come.

• Enhanced Strength and Durability: Crowns provide significant reinforcement to weakened teeth. As a result, they prevent further damage and increase longevity under the normal forces of biting and chewing.

• Aesthetically Pleasing Results: We design our custom-made dental crowns to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Ultimately, this ensures a harmonious and attractive smile that looks and feels completely natural.

• Improved Function: By restoring the proper shape and size of your teeth, a crown allows for improved chewing ability and proper bite alignment. This contributes to your overall oral comfort and health.
