Dental Crowns at Elegant Smiles: Restoring Your Smile with Excellence
Comprehensive Dental Care in Brookhaven and Toco Hills

When a tooth suffers damage beyond what a dental filling can repair, a crown may be suggested. A dental crown is a proven and highly effective general dentistry treatment to restore a severely damaged tooth. At Elegant Smiles, located at Cliff Valley Way Northeast #100, Atlanta, GA, we use the most durable and natural-looking materials in the industry for custom crowns. This ensures that our patients receive the most attractive and long-term return on their dental investment.

What is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown essentially “caps” a damaged tooth. It is bonded directly onto the affected tooth and covers all visible surfaces. It is decay-resistant and able to withstand everyday dental functions. At Elegant Smiles in Toco Hills, Atlanta, we take meticulous tooth measurements to ensure your crown fits comfortably. It can be customized in color, size, and shape for a flawless blend with your surrounding teeth.

Benefits of Dental Crowns:

  • Protection: Shields the tooth from further damage and decay.
  • Durability: Made from strong materials to withstand daily use.
  • Aesthetics: Customized to match the natural look of your teeth.
  • Functionality: Restores the normal function of your tooth.

Why You Might Need a Dental Crown

If your tooth is cracked or otherwise damaged, its outer protective layer (enamel) is compromised. Not only can the fracture worsen, but the tooth is now left more vulnerable to harmful bacteria. To protect your oral health and restore your smile aesthetics, our dentists may recommend a custom dental crown. Getting a dental crown at our Atlanta Toco Hills office is an easy and streamlined process. We use advanced technology and a compassionate, patient-centered approach to ensure your smile is cared for the way you deserve.

Signs You Need a Dental Crown:

  • Cracked or Fractured Tooth: Protects and prevents further damage.
  • Large Fillings: When a filling is too large to support the tooth.
  • Tooth Decay: Severe decay that weakens the tooth.
  • Post-Root Canal: Protects a tooth after a root canal treatment.

Dental Inlays and Onlays at Elegant Smiles: Precision Restorations for Your Teeth

Expert Dental Care in Brookhaven and Toco Hills

There are times when a tooth may have an area of damage that is too large for a dental filling, yet too small to warrant a full crown. In such circumstances, a dental inlay or onlay can be the perfect solution. Located at Cliff Valley Way Northeast #100, Atlanta, GA, Elegant Smiles is committed to providing the best dental care in Brookhaven and Toco Hills. Our experienced dentists use inlays and onlays to fill and repair the top surface of your molars or back teeth, ensuring a precise and durable restoration.

What Are Dental Inlays and Onlays?

Dental inlays and onlays are excellent solutions for repairing damaged teeth. An inlay bonds to the area inside the cusps of the tooth, while an onlay extends further to cover the entire biting surface. These restorations are made from high-quality materials to provide strength and a natural appearance.

Benefits of Inlays and Onlays:

  • Durable: Made from strong materials that withstand daily wear.
  • Natural-Looking: Blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.
  • Conservative: Preserves more of your natural tooth structure than a crown.
  • Custom-Fit: Precisely crafted to fit your tooth perfectly.

When to Consider Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and onlays are ideal for teeth that have moderate damage. Our dentists will thoroughly examine your tooth and explain your treatment options carefully before moving forward. These restorations are especially beneficial for molars and back teeth that endure significant chewing forces.

Suitable Cases for Inlays and Onlays:

  • Large Cavities: Too large for a simple filling but not extensive enough for a crown.
  • Cracked or Fractured Teeth: Repairs damage while maintaining tooth structure.
  • Decay: Removes decay and restores the tooth’s function and appearance.

The Inlay and Onlay Process

At Elegant Smiles, located at Cliff Valley Way Northeast, Atlanta, GA, we ensure that your experience is comfortable and efficient. The process for getting an inlay or onlay typically involves two visits.

Steps to Getting Inlays and Onlays:

  1. Initial Consultation: Comprehensive examination and discussion of your needs.
  2. Preparation: Removal of decay or old filling and taking precise measurements.
  3. Fabrication: Custom inlay or onlay is created in a dental lab.
  4. Placement: Inlay or onlay is bonded to the tooth for a secure fit.

Don’t Ignore Symptoms of a Cracked Tooth

Ignoring symptoms of a cracked tooth can lead to more severe dental issues. Painful chewing or sensitivity to extreme temperatures are signs that you may need a dental crown. Addressing these symptoms promptly can prevent further damage and restore your smile’s health and appearance.

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns

A dental crown is needed when there is damage to the tooth due to decay, cracks, or a large filling. It restores the healthiness and beauty of the teeth and protects the structure from further harm.

Depending on the individual's hygiene practices and the care taken with teeth, dental crowns can last several years. Proper brushing and flossing through regular dental visits will keep them healthy and functional.

Indeed, dental crowns have the advantage of both restoring function and making the tooth look better. Using it, you will get the natural look back by changing the size, shape, and color in accordance with other teeth.

The process of getting a dental crown is painless since the tooth will be anesthetized before the procedure. However, you may experience some sensitivity after the treatment, but this will only last for a few days.

 It is important to take good care of your dental crown just as you would take care of your regular teeth. You need to brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss as well.

Best dental experience I’ve ever had! I’m so glad I gave Elegant a try and didn’t let the dental fear stop me because this is what it’s supposed to be like. Many people would come and do their cleanings more often if this is where they went. Daisy was incredible and brilliant. Personable is an understatement. She made every step of my appointment lighthearted. And Dr. Kimi had a gentle hand and she was incredibly kind. She was knowledgeable and efficient. Both of them never made me feel judged which was my biggest fear. I’m glad I have somewhere to go that won’t put my anxiety in turbo-mode.

As a new patient with this dental practice, i am thoroughly impressed with the staff, their quality of service, and my overall experience. I moved into the area not long ago and have had the hardest time finding a dentist that takes my Humana Medicare plan. So i was excited when i learned Elegant Smiles was an in-network provider (1st star) and i didn't have to wait long for an appointment (2nd star). I scheduled an appt for a basic cleaning but ended up needing a deep cleaning. Well I did miss a few cleanings over the last 2 years so i braced for the situation and proceeded knowing it may be a bit more painful. But i was so wrong and pleasantly pleased. From the start, the warm welcome from Lauren, the dental assistant, was delightful. Her smile and joyful personality is infectious. She's attentive, very good at helping patients relax, and seems to enjoy her work (3rd star). Upon meeting Dr. McKie, i was immediately comfortable with his demeanor and appreciated his recommendations as well as the attention he gives to his patients. But the highlight was the care and gentleness of the cleaning. I've been there twice now to complete the deep cleaning and it truly has been the best dental experience i've had. Dr. McKie's efficiency, quality of service, and professionalism is praiseworthy.

Very amiable staff. They are nice and very professional! I was helped by Hygienist Shewantai and Dr. To and they were the best! They were very gentle and took great care with my teeth. I’ve had many dentists in the past that were very cold and unforgiving with drilling into my teeth, so they were a breath of fresh air the first time I came here over a year ago. I definitely recommend this practice to anyone who is sensitive to dental work, they will take their time and be gentle with you!

I had an amazing experience at Elegant Smiles. I loved the hygienist Lauren. She was very friendly and informative which helped make me feel comfortable as a first time patient. Dr. Mckie is amazing! He was extremely knowledgeable. He not only educated me, but helped me feel relieved about the concerns I had. I’m very pleased with the treatment I received as well as the customer service. There wasn’t a long wait & their X-Ray process is also super cool and quick! 10/10
