Dental Crown Salem OR



Close up 3D rendering of a dental crown being placed on a shaved down tooth at Oak Park Dental in Salem, ORDental crowns are caps put over injured, damaged, or decayed teeth.

If a filling fails to remedy the problem, a crown is used to restore your tooth's size, shape, and strength.

Crowns brighten your smile and improve the look of your teeth.

The main advantage of these caps is that they do not require any additional maintenance.

To maintain appropriate oral hygiene for your dental crowns, all you need to do is brush twice a day and floss once a day.

The majority of dental crowns are made of porcelain, ceramics, resin, and metals. Visit Oak Park Dental if you have an injured or decayed tooth and book an appointment for your dental crown.

Why Choose Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are necessary because they safeguard fragile teeth from fracturing and hold broken tooth components in place.

They also help to repair fractured or badly worn-out teeth. Furthermore, crowns can support and cover a tooth with a large filling, where only a tiny portion of the tooth remains.


Dental crowns play a significant role in securing dental bridges and covering dental implants. Furthermore, they can be used to make a cosmetic change and protect a severely stained tooth.

Types of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are available in different types, such as all-resin crowns, metal crowns, porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFTM) crowns, and all-ceramic crowns.

Metal crowns are mainly made of nickel, copper, platinum, gold, stainless steel, and chromium, among other metal types.

These crowns are sturdy and hard-wearing and don't shatter. They endure chewing and biting activities.

All-resin crowns are less expensive and do not last as long as metal crowns. They're also more prone to fracture than other crown varieties.

On the other hand, all-ceramic dental crowns are ideal for individuals who are allergic to metal. They have a wonderful natural hue that fits your teeth flawlessly.

Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns match the color of your teeth, improving both appearance and functionality.

They appear more natural than conventional dental crowns, but the metal beneath the crown's porcelain shows through as a black line.

Their main disadvantage is that they wear out faster than other crowns.

Furthermore, they are prone to breaking or chipping, yet they are great for the rear or front teeth.

Dental Crowns Placement Procedure

As you prepare for the crown placement process, you will have two visits with us.

Our dentist will prepare and evaluate the teeth where crowns will be installed during the initial visit.
The permanent implantation of the crown takes place during the second visit.

Our dentist will remove any decay from your tooth during tooth preparation. We will polish the outside part of your tooth to ensure that the crown fits appropriately.

The impressions of your tooth will then be sent to a dental lab, where a custom crown model will be created for you. However, we will first install a temporary crown on your tooth and then send you home.


It's important to keep in mind that your teeth may be sensitive to warmth and cold during this time. Avoid chewing or eating hard foods.

You will return in two to three weeks for the second visit. After that, your dental crown will be permanently fitted on top of the affected tooth.
