Dental Crowns in Collinsville, CT
Understanding Dental Crowns
At Lifetime Family Dentistry, we understand that each patient’s dental needs are unique. Whether you’re dealing with a cracked tooth, severe decay, a large filling, or simply want to improve the appearance of your smile, our expertly crafted dental crowns can provide a durable and long-lasting solution. Dental crowns, also known as caps, are versatile restorations designed to encase and protect a damaged, weakened, or aesthetically compromised tooth. Crafted from high-quality materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys, dental crowns not only strengthen the tooth but also restore its natural appearance and function.
Do You Need Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are a versatile solution that can address a variety of dental issues and enhance your overall oral health. At Lifetime Family Dentistry, Dr. Bielawski and our team recommend crowns for several reasons. Here are some of the key situations where dental crowns can make a significant difference:
Reinforcing a tooth that’s at risk of breaking
Restoring a tooth that’s already broken
Supporting a tooth with a large filling
Securing a dental bridge in place
Masking a discolored or poorly shaped tooth
Completing a dental implant
Our Dental Crown Process
Our approach to fitting you with the perfect crown is detailed and specific to your situation:
1
Initial Consultation
At Lifetime Family Dentistry, every successful dental crown begins with a detailed consultation. Dr. Bielawski and our team take the time to discuss your dental needs and conduct a comprehensive examination to ensure that a crown is the most appropriate solution for you.
2
Prepping Your Tooth
The preparation of your tooth is a careful process where we reshape the tooth to the ideal contours for a crown. This precise adjustment allows the crown to fit perfectly within your bite and harmonize with your smile.
3
Making Impressions and Applying a Temporary Crown
Once your tooth is prepared, we either take a traditional mold or a digital scan. While your personalized crown is being meticulously crafted, we protect your prepared tooth with a temporary crown.
4
Fitting Your Permanent Crown
When your crown is ready, we carefully remove the temporary crown and secure the new one, ensuring optimal fit and comfort. Our goal is for you to leave Lifetime Family Dentistry with a beautifully restored smile that feels natural.

We offer crowns in a variety of materials to suit every situation and issue:
Porcelain: Loved for its ability to mimic the natural translucency of tooth enamel.
