Crowns in Merrimack, NH

Our goal at Yelena Popkova, DDS is to help our patients retain the appearance and functionality of their natural teeth for a lifetime. That’s why Dr. Yelena Popkova provides dental crowns near you to help restore the use of a tooth that’s become damaged and may result in extraction without this important cosmetic and restorative dental procedure.

Also referred to as a cap, our dentist near you will fit a dental crown over your existing tooth. The treatment is effective in teeth that are cracked, broken, weakened from trauma or decay, or otherwise damaged to the point that added strength is required in their preservation. Dental crowns are available in a range of materials such as porcelain, acrylic, resin, and gold.

Unsure About Which Material to Choose?

When you visit Yelena Popkova, DDS for your dental crown procedure, Dr. Yelena Popkova will spend time with you to discuss your material options, including their respective pros and cons pertinent to cost, strength, and durability. All the materials we use cost the same, so price does not have to be a factor in your decision.

For example, if you need a dental crown on a back tooth, using a softer tooth-colored material may not be as important to you as it would for use on a front tooth. Two other factors to consider regarding the material for your crown from our dentist in Merrimack, NH will be:

• How much of the tooth will be seen by others when you laugh, smile, or eat?
• How much of the natural tooth will remain once the procedure is complete?

Dental crowns can also be used as an adjunct therapy for a tooth that has received root canal treatment, as a part of a dental bridge procedure, or in concert with a dental implant. But whatever your reason for needing a dental crown, our dental care team will design a treatment plan that makes the most sense for your short-term and long-term goals.
