What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a customized “cap” that is placed over the chewing surface of the teeth that need additional support. Crowns are personalized to cover the remaining structure of the teeth, helping to preserve them while replacing their natural shape and strength. There are several reasons why someone may need a dental crown. Here are some common causes.
- Severe tooth decay that cannot be treated by a filling alone.
- Physical injury to a tooth.
- Weakened tooth structure that needs support.
- Significant cosmetic imperfections.
- Restoring a lost tooth that is being replaced with a dental implant.
- Protecting a tooth that has been treated with root canal treatment.
The Dental Crown Process?
Dental crowns are placed over two separate appointments. During the first visits, we will start by numbing the area with a local anesthetic. Then, we will remove damaged or decayed portions of the tooth structure. We will also remove a small amount of enamel from the circumference of the tooth to allow for the crown to fit perfectly. After the tooth has to be prepared, impressions are taken and sent to the dental lab where your new crown will be made. A temporary crown is placed to keep your tooth safe until your final restoration has been completed.
