Dental Crown Procedure

If you have teeth that are worn down, excessively decayed or cracked, then you may benefit from a dental crown. The goal of a dental crown is to restore the functionality of a tooth as well as its shape, size, and appearance. Dr. Nick Mobilia of Elite Dental Arts offers dental crowns as a service to patients and would like to explain the procedure.

If you are a candidate for a dental crown, Dr. Nick Mobilia will need to prepare the tooth for the crown first. This may involve taking a few X-rays to check the roots of the tooth receiving the crown and surrounding bone. Before the crown is applied, you will be able to discuss anesthesia options with Dr. Mobilia to ensure that you are as comfortable as possible.

Once an impression of the tooth is made, a temporary crown will be placed while the final restoration is created in a dental laboratory. Once the permanent crown is ready, the patient will have their final appointment to have it placed.

Cosmetic Dentistry: Veneers

If you are lacking confidence in your smile because of stained, cracked, chipped, or decayed teeth, then Dr. Nick Mobilia of Elite Dental Arts may recommend veneers. Dental veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin that are custom made to fit over teeth. Once veneers are placed, the process is irreversible, so it’s important to discuss any questions or concerns with Dr. Nick Mobilia before you make the final decision.

Veneers have the ability to mask imperfections such as tooth discoloration. This is because they are custom-made shells crafted of tooth-colored materials that are designed to cover the front side of the teeth. To prepare a tooth for a veneer, Dr. Mobilia will remove a small amount of the tooth surface to guarantee placement of the veneer. He will then take an impression of the tooth or teeth that will need them and send the impression off to a dental laboratory. Once the veneers are ready, they will be applied and hardened using special cement. You will then walk out of the office with the smile you’ve always dreamed of.

Cracked Tooth Syndrome

Sometimes it is obvious you have a cracked tooth. You may see the crack or recognize it when it happens. But in other cases, the crack is under the gum and you may not even notice it at first. When this occurs, the condition is known as cracked tooth syndrome. At Elite Dental Arts, we have experience treating various types of dental problems including cracked tooth syndrome.

Although it can affect any tooth, cracked tooth syndrome occurs more often in the molars. It can occur for a variety of reasons. For example, teeth which have had a root canal or have large fillings have a higher chance of cracking than those that do not. Symptoms include pain in the tooth, which may vary in intensity. In addition, some people also experience tooth sensitivity to the cold. If the crack becomes larger, the tooth may break.


Elite Dental Arts offers a variety of treatments for cracked tooth syndrome. The type of treatment recommended will depend on how large and deep the crack is along with which tooth is cracked. If the crack affects the pulp of the tooth, a root canal may be needed. In other instances, the cracked tooth may be fixed with a crown. Our experienced dentists will go over your treatment options and determine what treatment would work best for your individual circumstance.
