Dental Crowns in Louisville, KY

A custom-made dental crown can strengthen and protect a damaged or worn-down tooth. Also known as a cap, crowns are customized to fit snugly over your tooth while matching the color of your smile for a seamless look. At MINT dentistry, we offer crowns to treat large cavities, protect weak teeth, restore cracked teeth, and cover discolored teeth. Our team uses high-quality porcelain crowns, so your result looks natural. MINT dentistry patients have the most radiant smiles in Louisville, KY. Contact us to schedule a consultation at our luxurious practice to learn more about how a custom crown can restore your oral health while keeping your smile dazzling.

There are several cases where a dental crown may be recommended by your MINT dentist. Dental crowns may be needed to keep a tooth (weakened by decay) from breaking or to hold parts of a tooth together that have already cracked. Dental crowns can be used to fix a tooth that is broken or dark in color, cover teeth that are misshapen, or protect teeth that have been treated with root canal therapy. Our Louisville, KY practitioners also use crowns to treat larger areas of decay, function as part of a dental bridge, and attach to dental implants to replace missing teeth. At MINT dentistry, our dental crowns are custom-made with top-quality materials and set using advanced technology to help ensure a beautiful result that lasts a long time.

After settling into one of our luxurious treatment chairs, you'll be offered a pair of stylish MINT sunglasses and Beats headphones to help keep you comfortable. To begin, the area to be treated will be prepped with local anesthesia. Other sedation methods may be available if you have trouble relaxing due to anxiety or dental fears. When you're ready, your MINT dentist will prep your tooth by removing any damage and filing it down so your crown fits snugly. We will then take impressions of your prepared teeth (or a dental implant post) to help us design your custom restoration. A temporary cap will be put on to cover your tooth until your custom crown is ready. Once your crown is returned to us, our support staff will schedule a follow-up visit to have it placed. The crown will be cemented onto the tooth (or attached to a dental implant). Once your crown is set, we may adjust the fit, so it feels comfortable and matches your natural teeth.

Once your crown is set, you will be able to leave our office and resume your regular schedule as only a local anesthetic will be used in the dental crown procedure. A member of our team will go over how to care for your custom crown, including how to clean it and what food you may need to avoid. At times, our team might suggest you come back to have your bite checked following the placement of a crown to make certain the alignment is ideal. During your exams and cleanings at MINT dentistry in Louisville, KY, your dentist will check your crown and make sure it feels comfortable. Your dentist will let you know when the crown needs to be repaired or replaced, but with proper care, a restoration can last for a long time. If you have any issues with your crown (e.g., it becomes loose or falls out), contact us for help. Do not attempt to fix it or put it back in yourself because this may lead to more extensive issues, like an infection or an uneven bite.

Depending on your dental insurance coverage, some of your crown costs may be covered. After speaking with your insurance company, our office can estimate your remaining bill. During your consultation, our practitioners will help you determine the best options for your crown based on your needs and budget. Our business team will also go over the payment methods we accept, including the MINT discount plan, which can help make your treatment easier to afford. MINT dentistry in Louisville, KY is dedicated to giving all our patients a healthy, attractive smile. Our dental crowns are made with the highest quality porcelain material available to the dental industry.
