Crowns
If the pain of a cracked or broken tooth keeps you up at night, Dr. Altizer can help you. A durable, sparkling porcelain crown can restore integrity to your bite and complement the beauty of your smile.
Made of quality, tooth-colored porcelain, crowns repair tooth damage or tooth decay when a simple filling isn’t enough. A custom crown is made in a ceramist’s lab, so plan on two visits with Dr. Altizer to place your restoration. At your first appointment, he will prepare the damaged tooth and install a temporary crown, then place your custom crown in a brief second appointment. Care for your new crown as you would your natural teeth. Careful brushing and flossing around the base will keep it free from bacterial growth and decay.

If Dr. Altizer finds that you need an even more durable restoration, he may recommend porcelain-fused-to-metal or an all-gold crown. No matter what type of crown, you can be certain that he has your total oral health in mind and will only recommend what is best for your situation. To relieve tooth pain, call the Broadview Heights office of Dr. Altizer today and schedule an appointment. We also treat patients from North Royalton, Brecksville, and Parma.
