Dental Crowns in Hyannis, MA - Strengthening and Restoring Your Teeth

Have you ever broken or cracked a tooth? If you have, you likely remember the excruciating pain before rushing to the dentist to have a crown installed. If you’ve never had a crown installed, that’s ok, but it’s a good idea to understand what they are and what they do if you suffer damage to your teeth and need to have your tooth repaired.

Dental crowns are one of the most common dental appliances patients have installed, right behind fillings. Much like other dental appliances, crowns can be made of different materials, and there are several options for the type of crown a patient gets. Making the right choice can make the difference between people not being able to tell that you have a crown or a crown that everyone can see and how long that crown lasts.

Our expert dentist in Hyannis, MA, is your one-stop dental clinic for all dental restoration needs. You can stop in today and speak with one of our dentists about repairing a broken tooth and what type of crown you may need.

How Do I Know What Type of Dental Crown to Get?

The dentists in Hyannis, MA, are incredibly knowledgeable and will help you pick out the crown that works for you based on several factors.

Dental Crowns can be made of metal or a dental-grade composite material.
Metal crowns are more durable than composite crowns but also more visible.
Composite crowns are weaker but can be matched more easily to the patient’s existing teeth.

Additionally, there are different types of crowns based on cost and materials used. Economy crowns are cheaper and less durable, but a great option for those needing a crown but on a budget. Same-day crowns are another cheap and effective option.

The crown you choose should fit your budget and your needs regarding eating and enjoying the food you love and how often you want it replaced.
