Dental Crowns

Most dentistry looks like dentistry. Our goal is to provide dentistry that is undetectable. We replace existing dental crowns and fillings with restorations that look and feel like your natural teeth.

Where damage to a person’s teeth is extreme, and apparently beyond repair, we can use porcelain or porcelain “pasted on gold” crowns to make the smile appear “as new”. This is an extremely reliable technique for repairing the most severe of dental problems, even permanently replacing missing teeth to offer a complete smile and a functional bite. We are renowned for the quality of our work and the fantastic changes we make for people using this technology. These treatments are used for a long-lasting correction of major dental problems. It is usual for these treatments to last for 20-to-30 years which is as close to permanent as dental treatment can get.

Call our Bergen County office at Edward Feins, DMD PA, River Vale Phone Number 201-666-3300 if you have any questions or to schedule an appointment for a dental crown, or to replace a dental crown.

How long does it take to fit a dental crown?

Fitting a dental crown requires only a single visit to our office. Initially, we will remove decay, shape the tooth, and fabricate a CEREC® crown.

The same day, the CEREC crown is cemented into place and you have a new beautiful looking tooth.

What are the capabilities of dental crowns?

Crown and bridgework are very reliable solutions for major dental problems caused through accidents, diseases, or wear and tear. Major problems can usually be corrected using these techniques. Material used in these repairs is either high-grade porcelain or porcelain bonded to gold. A higher strength of the porcelain and gold materials is recommended to treat the most serious of dental problems. Where accidental damage has occurred, resulting in lost teeth, or where teeth have broken away through excessive wear, or as the result of old fillings breaking, dental crowns and/or bridges can be used as a long-term solution.

Many people have unexplained pain from filled back teeth which is usually due to hairline cracks in the chewing part of the tooth. Placing crowns on these teeth relieves the pain and allows a return of full dental function for these teeth. In front teeth, older fillings can both weaken the teeth and cause “appearance” problems due to staining or chipping. Porcelain crowns and dental bridges are suitable in cases where teeth veneers are not. In teeth with root canal fillings, dental crowns can prevent breakage.
