Welcome to South Florida Laser Dentistry, where we blend advanced dental technology with a warm, family-oriented approach to dental care! Led by Dr. Rose Daood , our team is dedicated to providing the highest quality dental crowns and bridges, ensuring that every patient looking for a dentist in Tamarac, FL, and the surrounding communities, receives personalized and comprehensive dental solutions.

What Is a Dental Crown? 

Imagine a solution that not only restores the function of your teeth but also brings back their natural beauty. Our dental crowns do just that. Crafted from the finest porcelain, they serve as a protective cover for teeth that are damaged, weakened, or have lost their aesthetic appeal.

When you visit our Tamarac dental office, you'll discover that our crowns are not one-size-fits-all. Each porcelain crown is precisely designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, thanks to our advanced 3D CT and cone beam CT scanning technology.

This attention to detail ensures that your new crown will blend in seamlessly with your existing teeth, making it virtually indistinguishable from the rest.

Additional benefits of dental crowns include:

• Aesthetic Enhancement: Transforming discolored or misshapen teeth into a beautiful, natural-looking part of your smile.
• Protection Post-Treatment: Offering a safeguard for teeth that have undergone significant procedures, such as root canal therapy.
• Damage Restoration: Providing a robust solution for teeth that are too compromised for a simple filling.
• Support for Bridges: Serving as strong anchors for dental bridges, ensuring the longevity and stability of your bridge.

Porcelain vs. Traditional Crowns: A Comprehensive Comparison

In the quest for the perfect dental crown, understanding your options is key. At South Florida Laser Dentistry, we specialize in porcelain crowns, celebrated for their ability to mimic the natural translucency and strength of your own teeth. Unlike traditional crowns, which might be made from metal or a combination of metal and porcelain, our porcelain crowns stand out for their aesthetic appeal and compatibility with the human body.

Porcelain crowns not only offer a superior aesthetic compared to their traditional counterparts but also boast a biocompatibility that ensures comfort and health in the long term. With the precision of 3D CT and cone beam CT scanning, each crown is custom-fitted to your unique dental structure, providing a level of customization and fit that traditional methods cannot achieve.

Why families choose porcelain crowns:

• Natural Appearance: They flawlessly blend with your teeth, offering a natural, translucent look.
• Durability: Designed to withstand the rigors of daily use, mirroring the strength of natural tooth enamel.
• Biocompatibility: Porcelain is less likely to cause allergic reactions or sensitivity, making it a safe choice for all family members.
• Custom Fit: Utilizing advanced technology for a crown that fits perfectly without compromising the health of surrounding teeth.

Dental Crown FAQs

What is the lifespan of a porcelain dental crown?

Porcelain crowns are designed for longevity, typically lasting 10 to 15 years with proper care. Their lifespan can be extended with good oral hygiene practices and regular dental check-ups.

Are dental crowns painful to get?

Thanks to modern dental techniques and anesthesia, the process of getting a dental crown is generally pain-free. Some mild discomfort or sensitivity may occur after the procedure, but this usually subsides within a few days.

Can I treat my crowned tooth like my natural teeth?

Yes, you can! Once a crown is placed, it functions just like a natural tooth. However, it's essential to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist regularly to ensure the health of your crowned tooth and surrounding gums.

How do I know if I need a dental crown?

You might need a dental crown if you have a tooth that's significantly decayed, cracked, weakened by a large filling, or discolored. Crowns are also used to complete dental implant procedures or as anchors for dental bridges.

What is a Dental Bridge?

Dental bridges represent hope and renewal for those missing one or more teeth. At South Florida Laser Dentistry, we understand the impact a missing tooth can have not just on your oral health, but on your confidence too. That's where our bespoke dental bridges come in, designed to fill the void and seamlessly connect with your natural teeth or implants.

Supported by the robust foundation provided by natural teeth or implants on either side, our bridges are more than just a dental solution; they're a pathway to restoring the fullness of your smile. With meticulous planning and the latest in imaging technology, we ensure that your bridge is a perfect fit, restoring the balance and beauty of your dental health.

Bridges come with the added advantages of:

• Preventing Misalignment: Keeping adjacent teeth firmly in place.
• Restoring Function: Allowing you to speak and chew with ease once again.
• Preserving Facial Structure: Maintaining the natural contour of your face.
• Permanent Solution: Offering a fixed and worry-free option for missing teeth.

Dental Bridge FAQs

How do I care for my dental bridge?

Caring for a dental bridge involves regular brushing and flossing to prevent plaque buildup and tooth decay. It's also important to clean under the bridge and around the anchor teeth or implants. Regular dental check-ups will help ensure your bridge remains in good condition.

Will a dental bridge affect how I speak or eat?

There may be a brief adjustment period as you get used to your new dental bridge, but it should quickly improve your ability to chew and speak more naturally, especially if you were previously missing teeth.

What materials are used for dental bridges?

Dental bridges can be made from various materials, including porcelain (to match the natural color of your teeth), gold, alloys, or a combination. Porcelain bridges are popular for their natural appearance and durability.

How long does it take to get used to a dental bridge?

Most patients adjust to their new dental bridge within a few weeks. Initially, you might notice a slight difference in your bite or the way your teeth come together, but this feeling should diminish as you become accustomed to the bridge.
