WHAT ARE DENTAL CROWNS?
Crowns are a cosmetic restoration used to strengthen or improve a tooth’s shape. We often use crowns for broken teeth, worn teeth, or teeth partially destroyed by decay. Crowns are sometimes needed when insufficient tooth strength remains to hold a filling.
Crowns are “cemented” onto an existing tooth and fully cover the portion of your tooth above the gum line. In effect, the crown becomes your tooth’s new outer surface. Crowns can be made of porcelain, metal, or both. Porcelain crowns are most often preferred because they mimic the translucency of natural teeth and are very strong.
IS A DENTAL CROWN RIGHT FOR ME?
Consider getting a dental crown if you’re experiencing a tooth-related issue. However, before making any decisions, schedule a consultation with Dr. Gonzalez. During this appointment, he can assess the condition of your teeth and discuss whether or not a dental crown is the right treatment option for you.
He will examine all aspects of your bite and jaw movements. He will consider factors such as the size of the cavity and the overall health of your teeth. With the proper guidance and professional advice, you can make an informed decision that will lead to the best outcome for your dental health.
WHAT IS THE PROCESS?
Your crown is sculpted just for you so that your bite and jaw movements usually function once you place the crown.
Step 1: Consultation and Examination
The first step in getting a dental crown is to schedule a consultation with our team. During your visit, we will thoroughly examine your teeth and gums to determine if a crown is the best treatment for your dental needs. We may also take X-rays to assess any underlying issues.
Step 2: Tooth Preparation
Once we determine that a dental crown is appropriate for you, we will prepare the affected tooth by removing any decay or damage. We will also take an impression of your tooth and surrounding teeth to create a custom crown that fits perfectly over the prepared tooth. We’ll send this impression to a lab where skilled technicians manufacture your custom crown.
Step 3: Temporary Crown Placement
Until your final crown is ready, we can place a temporary crown over your prepared tooth to protect it and maintain its shape and function. During this time, try to avoid eating sticky or hard foods and practice good oral hygiene to prevent damaging the temporary crown.
Step 4: Crown Placement
Once your custom crown is ready, you will schedule a second appointment to place it. We will remove the temporary crown and place your new crown on the prepared tooth. We will check the new crown’s fit, color, and bite and make any necessary adjustments before cementing it in place.
