Dental crowns are tooth-shaped dental caps designed to cover your entire tooth. At South Knox Dental, we use natural-looking, porcelain dental crowns to restore the health and appearance of your damaged teeth. If you are living under the bondage of a damaged tooth, one of the easiest ways to restore your smile is by using a dental crown. Dental crowns are tooth-shaped dental caps designed to cover your entire tooth. At South Knox Dental, we use natural-looking, porcelain dental crowns to restore the health and appearance of your damaged teeth. The Wonderful Dental Crown Dental crowns may be tiny appliances, but they do pack a punch. Teeth crowns are popular in cosmetic and restorative dentistry for their versatility. Our dental professionals may recommend a dental crown in the following cases: To cover a severely stained tooth To complete a dental implant treatment Crowns are used to cover a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment To fill a tooth cavity that’s too large for a typical filling To strengthen a damaged or decayed tooth To anchor a dental bridge As you can see, dental crowns can fix several dental issues. If you are unhappy with your smile or experiencing less-than-optimal oral function, you should consider dental crowns. Dental Crowns Procedure Getting dental crowns requires multiple appointments (usually two) with our team. During your initial appointment, your tooth will be examined, and the diseased portion will be removed to prepare it for a crown. Moreover, the procedure is done under anesthesia to reduce discomfort. Next, we will create a digital impression of your bite and send it to a dental lab to fabricate your crown. While you wait for your crown to arrive,... - Published: 2026-08-04 - Modified: 2026-08-04 - URL: https://www.southknoxdental.com/how-to-relieve-dental-anxiety-for-a-tooth-extraction/ If you have dental anxiety at the idea of getting an emergency tooth extraction, you are not alone. However, knowing exactly how the procedure works can help put your mind at ease. One of the major sources of anxiety for some people is a trip to the dentist, especially for tooth extractions, but it does not have to be this way. Anxiety is often the result of fear of the unknown. If you have dental anxiety at the idea of getting an emergency tooth extraction, you are not alone. However, knowing exactly how the procedure works can help put your mind at ease. Ask Questions About The Tooth Extraction Process An in-depth discussion with your dentist can help you understand why an emergency tooth extraction might be the best treatment option for your situation. Our compassionate and empathetic dental team at South Knox Dental in Knoxville, TN, takes a much more conservative approach when recommending an emergency tooth extraction. We take pride in educating and informing patients that an extraction is a last resort and is usually performed to preserve oral health. It is your responsibility as a patient to ask as many questions as you need to before going in for your emergency tooth extraction. You should also find out for yourself what to expect during and after the procedure. This will empower you and give you more confidence. We will do our best to help alleviate your concerns and relieve your anxiety. You're not the first patient we've seen with dental anxiety, and certainly won't be the last. How Long Does it Take?

Explore cosmetic treatments that can help you look and feel more confident. Summer calendars fill up quickly with vacations, reunions, weddings, back-to-school events, and family photos. If you want your smile to look its best before late summer or fall plans, now may be the perfect time to explore cosmetic dentistry. At South Knox Dental, patients can choose from personalized cosmetic treatments designed to brighten, repair, and enhance their smiles without including orthodontic treatment like Invisalign or clear aligners. Teeth Whitening for a Brighter Summer Smile Professional teeth whitening is one of the simplest ways to refresh your appearance before a big event. Coffee, tea, wine, and everyday staining can make teeth look dull over time, but professional whitening can help create a noticeably brighter smile more safely and effectively than many store-bought products. If you are preparing for engagement photos, a summer vacation, or a fall wedding, scheduling teeth whitening in Knoxville, TN, ahead of time can help you feel more confident when the camera comes out. Dental Bonding for Small Chips, Gaps, or Uneven Edges Dental bonding is a conservative cosmetic treatment that can improve minor imperfections, such as small chips, cracks, gaps, or uneven tooth edges. Using tooth-colored material, your dentist can reshape and polish the area so it blends naturally with your smile. For patients who want a quick improvement before school starts or before an upcoming celebration, dental bonding in Knoxville, TN, may be an excellent option because treatment can often be completed in one visit.

With the right daily habits and a few smart precautions, your crown can function comfortably and look great for many years. A dental crown at South Knox Dental is a strong, reliable way to restore a damaged tooth, but like any investment in your health, it needs proper care to last. With the right daily habits and a few smart precautions, your crown can function comfortably and look great for many years. Keep up on your oral hygiene First and foremost, maintain a consistent oral hygiene routine. Brush your teeth at least twice a day using a soft-bristle toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Pay special attention to the area where the crown meets your gumline, as plaque can build up there just like it does on natural teeth. Daily flossing is equally important. Slide the floss gently around the crown to avoid dislodging it while still removing debris and bacteria. Regular dental checkups are another key to longevity. Our team will monitor the condition of your crown and ensure the surrounding tooth and gums stay healthy. Professional cleanings also help remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing might miss. Watch what you eat While crowns are designed to be durable, they are not indestructible. Avoid chewing on certain objects, such as ice, pens, or hard candy, as they can crack or loosen the crown. If you grind or clench your teeth, especially at night, talk to us about treatment options. A simple device, such as a night guard, can protect both your crown and your natural teeth from excessive wear. Your diet also plays a role. Try to limit sticky or... - Published: 2025-12-16 - Modified: 2025-12-16 - URL: https://www.southknoxdental.com/are-you-an-ideal-candidate-for-dental-implants/ While dental implants offer many benefits, not everyone is automatically an ideal candidate. Understanding who may benefit most from dental implants can help you decide if this treatment is proper for you. Dental implants at South Knox Dental have become known as one of the most durable and natural-looking options for replacing missing teeth. Implants and implant crowns are crafted to function like natural teeth, restoring both appearance and chewing ability. While implants offer many benefits, not everyone is automatically an ideal candidate. Understanding who may benefit most from dental implants can help you decide if this treatment is proper for you. In general, adults who are missing one or more teeth and are in good overall health are often good candidates for dental implants. Because implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, candidates should be healthy enough to undergo a minor surgical procedure and heal properly afterward. One of the most critical factors is jawbone health. Dental implants rely on the jawbone for support, so there must be enough bone density to hold the implant securely. Patients who have experienced bone loss due to long-term tooth loss or gum disease may still qualify, but they may require additional procedures, such as bone grafting, to strengthen the affected area. Healthy gums are also essential. Periodontal disease can compromise the success of dental implants by affecting healing and long-term stability. Patients with active periodontal disease will typically need treatment before implant placement to ensure the best outcome. Lifestyle habits also play a role. Non-smokers or those willing to stop smoking tend to have higher implant success rates. Smoking can slow healing and increase the risk of implant failure, so patients are often encouraged... - Published: 2025-03-14 - Modified: 2025-10-22 - URL: https://www.southknoxdental.com/restorative-dentistry-options-at-south-knox-dental-in-knoxville-tn/ A healthy, complete smile is essential for both function and confidence.
