Dental Crowns – Peabody
Protect Your Damaged Tooth
The tooth enamel is the strongest material in the entire body. It is even stronger than your bones! However, it

Dr. Saati usually recommends a crown made of porcelain fused to metal for its strength and aesthetic appeal. Once bonded into place, no one will be able to tell that you have a crown.
The Dental Crown Process
Receiving a crown usually takes only two visits to the dentist. At the first, Dr. Saati delivers a local anesthetic and then gently removes any decay as well as a small portion of the tooth structure. This must be done to make room for the crown and to ensure that your bite remains the same. You’re then given a temporary crown to wear while our dental lab constructs the permanent one based on an exact impression of your tooth.
