Porcelain Dental Crowns in Bloomington, MN

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown (often called a “cap”) is a custom-made covering that fits over a tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance.

Crowns are commonly used to:

• Restore broken, cracked, or severely worn teeth
  
• Strengthen teeth after large fillings or root canals
  
• Replace old or damaged crowns
  
• Improve the appearance of discolored or misshaped teeth
  
• Support a dental bridge or implant restoration
  

At Bloom & Smile Dental, we use porcelain crowns for their durability and lifelike appearance. They’re strong enough for back teeth and natural-looking enough for front teeth.

Signs You May Need a Crown

You may be a candidate for a porcelain crown if you have:

• A cracked or broken tooth
  
• A large cavity that can’t be filled
  
• A tooth treated with root canal therapy
  
• A missing tooth that needs a bridge
  
• A worn-down or misshaped tooth
  
• An old crown that needs replacement
  

Not sure? Dr. Opare will walk you through all your options during your visit and help you decide if a crown is the right choice.

Our Crown Process: What to Expect

Getting a crown typically involves two visits:

1. Exam and Preparation
   Dr. Opare examines the tooth and prepares it by removing any damaged structure. An impression is taken to design your custom crown, and a temporary crown is placed.
   
2. Final Placement
   Once your porcelain crown is ready, we remove the temporary and bond the final crown securely in place. We make adjustments for bite and comfort, then polish it for a natural finish.
   

We also work closely with our lab to ensure your crown matches the shade, shape, and contour of your existing teeth.
