What Are Crowns?
A crown is a tooth-shaped cap designed to fit an existing tooth. The West County Dental team will take extra care to ensure that your dental crown blends perfectly with your natural teeth. Thanks to the sophisticated technology we use in our office, our dental crown procedure is safe, painless, and fast. We use a computer-assisted design and computer-assisted milling system to create your dental crown. Your crown goes from a 3D photo scan of your tooth to a perfectly matched dental crown within minutes.

Dental Crown Care
A crowned tooth doesn’t need special attention. The underlying tooth needs regular protection from gum disease and decay. It’s important to follow positive oral hygiene practices, including brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing once a day, and never biting on hard food or surfaces with porcelain crowns. We will always check your dental crowns at your routine dental visit.
Veneers
Veneers are wafer-thin shells that are affixed to the fronts of unsightly teeth. Most veneers are made of porcelain, and they are designed to look almost exactly like natural teeth. At Dr. Spalitto’s office, we can provide you with your veneers in the space of a single visit.
- Who Can Benefit: Veneers can cover up discolored or misshapen teeth. Smartly placed veneers can even cover up gaps between teeth.
- Procedure: In some ways, the same-day veneer process is very similar to the crown-making process. The biggest difference is that porcelain veneers are only affixed to the front of the tooth, rather than over the whole tooth.
- Advantages: Getting a porcelain veneer is perhaps the best way to receive an instantly improved smile. Porcelain veneers make it easy to improve the appearance of an entire row of teeth.
