Teeth don’t repair themselves or heal on their own. So if you have a severely damaged or decayed tooth, you may need a dental crown.

A dental crown is a durable tooth-like cap placed over your existing tooth. It restores your tooth’s:

  • Appearance: Smile, laugh, and talk without embarrassment. Crowns blend in with surrounding teeth.
  • Strength: Chew without pain and protect the remaining healthy tooth structure from further damage and decay.
  • Health: Any disease will be removed, preventing it from spreading and leading to other oral or overall health issues.

To see if a crown is your best option, contact our Baton Rouge dentists.

Why Our Crowns Last Longer

We take an extra step to ensure a successful outcome.

When you get a crown, the existing tooth will need any decayed or damaged structure removed.

Traditionally, the crown is designed based on what’s left of your tooth. However, many teeth are left weak and insufficient to support a crown long term. This causes crowns to wear down quickly and need frequent replacements.

At Kidder Dental, we don’t want you to experience short-lived results or waste money.

That’s why we place a core buildup on your tooth before designing and placing a crown.

A core buildup consists of durable, tooth-colored material that replacing essential missing tooth structure, so your tooth can support a crown for years to come.
