Prehn Dental Office

A crown or "cap" is a restoration that covers a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size. It's purpose is to strengthen or improve its appearance.

Crowns are placed for a variety of reasons:

• Restore fractured teeth
• Restore teeth when there isn't enough tooth remaining to support a large filling
• Cover badly shaped or discolored teeth
• Attach bridges
• Cover implants
• Protect a tooth that has been root canalled.

In most dental practices, the use of an outside laboratory is necessary to fabricate crowns, dentures and other dental appliances.  Here at Prehn Dental, we use two laboratories.  Both demonstrate excellence in craftsmanship and are located here in the city of Wausau. Dr Prehn works very closely with each lab technician to ensure that his patients are getting the best possible product available in todays market. Not only "made-in the U.S.A" but right here in your hometown Wausau, Wisconsin!!

Do you know that Prehn Dental offers the top of the line in Sonicare products for a fraction of the price you would pay in the stores.  Sonicare not only gives you a deeper cleaning than the standard toothbrush but can also help with gingivitis.
