Dental crowns are a versatile and effective solution for restoring damaged or decayed teeth, enhancing your smile, and improving oral health. At Cummings Dental in Bloomington, IN, Dr. Christopher Cummings offers expert care in fitting dental crowns to ensure you regain both function and aesthetics.
Porcelain ceramic crowns act as a cap that covers the entire visible portion of a tooth. This not only strengthens the tooth but also restores its shape, size, and appearance. Whether you have a cracked tooth, a large filling, or have undergone a root canal, dental crowns can provide the protection and longevity your teeth need.

The Benefits Of Dental Crowns
Restored Functionality
Dental crowns restore the full functionality of your teeth, allowing you to chew and speak without discomfort or worry. They provide the strength and resilience needed to handle daily activities, making them an ideal solution for compromised teeth.
Enhanced Aesthetics
With porcelain dental crowns from Dr. Cummings, you can achieve a seamless and natural look. They are custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, ensuring that your smile looks as beautiful as it feels.
Improved Oral Health
By covering and protecting damaged teeth, dental crowns help prevent further decay and maintain the integrity of your dental structure. This not only saves your natural teeth but also promotes overall oral health.
The Dental Crowns Treatment Process
Consultation and Assessment
The dental crown process begins with a thorough consultation and assessment at our office in Bloomington. Dr. Christopher Cummings will evaluate your oral health, discuss your needs, and determine if a dental crown is the best solution for you. This step is crucial for developing a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific concerns and goals.
Tooth Preparation
Once you decide to proceed with a dental crown, the next step involves preparing the affected tooth. Dr. Cummings will carefully remove any decay and shape the tooth to accommodate the crown. This may involve filing down the tooth or building it up if necessary. An impression of your tooth is then taken to create a custom crown that fits perfectly.
Crown Placement
After your custom crown is fabricated, Dr. Cummings will place it over your prepared tooth. He will ensure that the fit is perfect and that it aligns well with your bite. Once adjustments are made, the crown is permanently cemented in place, providing you with a durable and natural-looking restoration that enhances both function and appearance.
