Dental crowns are used at our Connecticut practice to strengthen teeth that are fractured, chipped or severely damaged from decay. Also known as “caps,” these restorations are made to fit over the entire visible portion of the tooth and can also be used to secure dental bridges in place.
At Darien Family Dental Care your dental crowns will be made at the best laboratories in Connecticut and will consist of the highest-quality materials to ensure that you receive the best possible result.
During the first stage of the procedure, Dr. Diette will prepare the tooth to receive the dental crown by carefully reducing some of the tooth's surface. This action is necessary to accommodate the thickness of the new crown and to ensure a secure fit. Next, an impression will be taken and sent to the laboratory. A temporary crown may be fitted to prevent your teeth from shifting while your permanent crown is being made. When your new dental crown is received at our Connecticut office, Dr. Diette will closely appraise their size, shape and color. Once Dr. Diette is satisfied with the fit and appearance, he will permanently cement the crown over your tooth.
While crowns can be made from several different materials, all-porcelain dental crowns are by far the most aesthetically pleasing. Dr. Diette and his support staff will speak with you about the options that will work best for you.

In the past, silver fillings were the standard in dental offices. Unfortunately, these fillings contained mercury, one of the most toxic of all of the elements. Thanks to tooth-colored white fillings, patients now have a safer, more aesthetically appealing alternative to silver dental fillings.
Tooth-colored white fillings (also known as composite fillings) contain no mercury and are much safer for the patient and the environment. They are durable and can be customized to match your individual tooth color. Tooth-colored white fillings add strength to teeth that have been weakened by decay and can also be used to repair fractures and chips.
If you want to replace your old silver fillings with tooth-colored fillings, Dr. Diette and his skilled staff can safely remove them and provide you with a more visually appealing option.
