What Is a Dental Crown?
A crown is a restorative device that mimics the shape and appearance of a section of dental enamel, and it is designed to be cemented upon a tooth compromised by infection or injury. The device will restore the strength and structure of the damaged tooth, which can help it stay healthy and last much longer than it would without treatment. Since our office places dental crowns made from lifelike materials like porcelain, zirconia, Emax, and porcelain-fused-to-metal, we can also use them for cosmetic purposes by concealing unsightly stains, cracks, chips, and gaps or reshaping oddly formed teeth.
The Dental Crown Process
The first step to receiving a dental crown is having a consultation with Dr. Verjee so he can evaluate your oral health and determine the best way to preserve your tooth. A suitable dental crown candidate will be free from oral infections, and we’ll be happy to address any our dentist finds with appropriate restorative treatment if necessary. If Dr. Verjee finds that a dental crown will be the best way to keep your smile in great shape, he’ll schedule you to have the device placed.
The process of placing a dental crown usually takes two appointments that work something like this:
- During the first appointment, our dentist will administer an effective anesthetic to ensure your comfort before removing the compromised structure from your tooth, measuring your bite, and placing a temporary crown for you to use while your permanent device is being manufactured.
- During the second, our team will remove the temporary dental crown, place a customized restoration, and make any final adjustments. You’ll then be ready to greet the world with your gorgeously restored smile, and we’ll be sure to set you up with thorough aftercare instructions so you know exactly how to keep your crowns and teeth in great shape.
