What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a small, cap-like structure that is custom designed to fit over a tooth. They can be made from a variety of materials, but we utilize the highest quality of tooth-colored ones to achieve an equally aesthetic and functional result. With proper maintenance and good oral hygiene, the dental crown can last for between seven and 15 years.
The Dental Crown Process
The dental crown process begins by preparing your natural tooth. Sometimes, you may require root canal treatment or a tooth-colored filling before your crown can be placed atop your tooth. Then, our team will remove a small amount of enamel from the surface of your tooth. This will allow the dental crown to fit over it without jutting out or adversely impacting your bite.
After your tooth has been prepared, we will capture an impression that we’ll send off to our off-site dental laboratory to create your permanent crown. Until your permanent restoration is made, our team will secure a temporary one over your tooth. When it arrives, we’ll have you return to our office to remove the temporary crown and cement your permanent one.
