Dental Crowns for Fountaingrove
Why Fountaingrove patients choose Bonin Dental Care
Dental crowns restore teeth damaged beyond the scope of fillings or bonding. At Bonin Dental Care, Dr. Scott Bonin fabricates custom crowns tailored to your tooth anatomy, bite, and esthetic goals. Crown material selection includes tooth-colored porcelain, zirconia (high-strength ceramic), or gold (strongest, most biocompatible). Crowns are built in a two-appointment process: preparation, impression, and temporary restoration on the first visit; delivery and adjustment on the second. We treat Fountaingrove patients who value durability and precision in their restorations.
Fountaingrove residents understand that large restorations demand custom fabrication and expert placement. Many have experienced generic crown experiences from other practices; they appreciate the precision and artistry we invest in crown design and placement. A crown is your smile's foundation; it warrants meticulous attention.
A crown is your most visible restoration. Marginal fit, esthetic integration, and occlusal precision are hallmarks of quality work. Dr. Bonin's custom approach delivers restorations that look and function flawlessly.
Concerns we hear most from Fountaingrove
Crown indication includes large restorations (typically after root canal treatment), fractured teeth beyond restoration, or esthetically compromised teeth. Preparation requires removal of tooth structure to create space for crown thickness without over-contour. Marginal fit is critical; gaps at the margin lead to secondary decay. Shade selection demands precision; custom characterization matches subtle color gradations. Temporary crowns bridge the gap between preparation and delivery; poor temporaries cause gum inflammation or pulpal sensitivity. Final crown delivery involves occlusal and contact adjustment, ensuring proper bite without premature contacts. Excessive height causes trauma; underbiting leaves gaps. We invest time in final adjustments to ensure comfort and proper function.

Getting to us from Fountaingrove
Fountaingrove residents invest significantly in their homes and personal development. A crown restoration is part of that same self-investment. Many residents also have high esthetic standards and notice poorly fitting or colored crowns immediately. Dr. Bonin's attention to precision and esthetic integration aligns with Fountaingrove expectations.
Clinical Depth
How Dr. Bonin approaches Dental Crowns
Crown fabrication begins with comprehensive tooth preparation creating uniform reduction (typically 1.2-1.5mm on all surfaces) and proper divergence (6-10 degrees) allowing insertion and optimal stress distribution. Preparation margins are placed subgingivally on esthetic surfaces (invisible, less retention) or at the gingival crest posteriorly (easier to clean). Margins must be smooth and well-defined; rough margins cause gingival inflammation and harbor biofilm.
An impression is taken using silicone material capturing the prepared tooth and opposing teeth. Bite registration establishes jaw closure relationship. The lab constructs the crown on the model, typically using hand-layering (thicker porcelain applied incrementally) or high-strength pressed ceramic (coped with porcelain veneer). Custom shading, characterization, and occlusal anatomy are refined. A temporary crown (acrylic) is fabricated immediately after preparation using pre-prepared templates, preventing gum recession and sensitivity between visits.
Final crown delivery involves removal of temporary cement, try-in to verify marginal fit, shade match, and occlusion. Selective grinding adjusts occlusal contact points ensuring even distribution of biting forces. Proximal contacts prevent food impaction. The crown is then permanently cemented using glass-ionomer or adhesive resin cement depending on material. Excess cement is carefully removed to prevent gingival inflammation. Post-delivery instructions include normal eating, excellent home care, and follow-up evaluation if sensitivity or discomfort develops.

About This Service
Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that fully covers a tooth that has been weakened by decay, fracture, or a failed filling. When a tooth loses too much structure, a filling won't hold. A previously treated tooth often becomes brittle and needs reinforcement. A badly chipped or cracked tooth can't be fixed with bonding alone. A crown solves all of these by restoring the entire visible tooth with a durable custom restoration that matches your natural teeth. Crowns are also used to complete dental implants: the surgical partner places the implant fixture and Dr. Bonin designs and seats the custom crown that finishes the case. The beauty of a crown is that it gives you back a tooth that feels, looks, and works like your own. Modern materials come in multiple options. Zirconia crowns are incredibly strong and naturally white, perfect for back teeth or for anyone who wants durability without compromise. Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns have been reliable for decades, blending strength with excellent appearance. Lithium disilicate (like e.max) offers the best cosmetic results for front teeth, mirroring the translucency of natural enamel. Dr. Bonin helps you choose based on the tooth's location, your bite, and your aesthetic priorities. At Bonin Dental Care, crown placement is approached as restorative dentistry at its finest. It's not a quick fix; it's a careful decision about materials, fit, and color that shapes your smile for years. Dr. Bonin takes time during your consultation to explain why your tooth needs a crown, what material will serve it best, and what you'll experience during the two-appointment process.
