Christopher Stanosheck, DDS

Christopher Stanosheck, DDS, in Omaha, NE, offers a range of dental services, including the application of dental crowns. Dental crowns, made from durable materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal, are custom-fitted caps designed to restore damaged, decayed, or aesthetically unpleasing teeth. They improve tooth strength, shape, and appearance, serving both functional and aesthetic purposes. Crowns play a crucial role in cosmetic dentistry, providing a permanent solution that enhances smiles by covering discolored, misshapen, or uneven teeth seamlessly.

The procedure to place a crown typically requires two visits to the dentist. During the first visit, the tooth is examined, prepared, and reshaped to accommodate the custom crown. An impression is taken and sent to a dental lab for fabrication, while a temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth. On the second visit, the permanent crown is checked for fit and color before being securely bonded to the tooth. With proper care, dental crowns can last 10 to 15 years or more, requiring good oral hygiene practices to maintain longevity.

In addition to their restorative benefits, crowns are essential in various dental procedures, such as dental implants and root canal therapy. They help restore functionality, maintain jawbone structure, and protect treated teeth from further damage. The choice of crown material depends on factors like tooth location, patient preferences, and budget. Patients can opt for porcelain, ceramic, metal, or porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, each offering unique advantages for different dental needs.
