If your dentist told you that you need a dental crown, you probably have questions. Maybe you cracked a tooth eating something hard, maybe years of decay have finally caught up with an old filling, or maybe a tooth has become so worn down that it needs more support than a filling can provide. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to figure out your options alone. At Elevate by Mashini Dental in Clinton Township, MI, Dr. Michael Christopher Mashini, DDS, provides dental crowns designed to protect what's left of your natural tooth, restore its strength, and bring back a comfortable bite, all in a calm, unhurried setting.
Call 586-434-3400 or visit contact page to schedule a consultation and find out if a dental crown is the right fix for your tooth.
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth, covering it completely from the gumline up. Crowns are typically recommended when a tooth has a large cavity, a crack, a completed root canal, or an old filling that is too big to support the tooth safely. Rather than pulling a tooth that can still be saved, a crown reinforces the remaining structure so you can keep chewing, speaking, and smiling normally.
At Elevate by Mashini Dental, we most often recommend porcelain crowns because they blend naturally with the surrounding teeth and hold up well under everyday biting and chewing forces. Dr. Mashini will walk you through your options and explain which material makes the most sense for the location and condition of your tooth.
Patients come to us for tooth crowns in Clinton Township for a range of reasons, including a tooth that has cracked or fractured, whether from an injury or from years of grinding, deep decay that has left too little healthy tooth structure for a filling alone, a tooth that has recently had root canal therapy and needs long-term protection, an old, large filling that is failing or has weakened the tooth around it, and cosmetic concerns, where a tooth is discolored or misshapen and a crown can improve its appearance while also strengthening it.
If any of this sounds familiar, it is worth having the tooth evaluated sooner rather than later. Left untreated, a cracked or heavily decayed tooth can worsen quickly, sometimes turning a straightforward crown into a more involved procedure.
Getting a dental crown at Elevate by Mashini Dental typically takes two visits. During your first appointment, Dr. Mashini will gently numb the area using his comfort-first anesthetic technique, then reshape the tooth to make room for the crown. An impression is taken, a temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth, and your permanent crown is custom-crafted to match your bite and the shade of your natural teeth. At your second visit, the temporary is removed and the permanent crown is checked for fit and comfort before being permanently bonded in place.
Because Dr. Mashini brings more than a decade of clinical experience, including continuing education in restorative and cosmetic dentistry, to every crown procedure, patients can expect a fit and finish built to last, without feeling rushed through the process.
Every tooth is different, and so is every patient's schedule. We offer same-day appointments when available for patients dealing with a broken tooth or sudden pain, so you're not stuck waiting in discomfort while a permanent solution gets sorted out. If you're searching for a dentist near Clinton Township who can see you quickly, our team will work to get you in and get your tooth stabilized as soon as possible.
