WHAT IS A DENTAL CROWN?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap placed over the entire visible surface of a tooth. They are widely used in restorative dentistry to repair damage, like a large cavity or a significant break. They are commonly used in combination with other treatments as well, like a root canal or dental implant.

In some cases, we may recommend a crown as part of preventive dentistry, such as to protect a weakened tooth from breaking. Now, all-porcelain material also allows them to hold a commonplace in cosmetic dentistry to improve the appearance of a discolored or abnormally shaped tooth.

How Do I Get A Dental Crown?

The process to receive a crown usually takes two appointments. Your tooth is prepared and reshaped during your first appointment to allow the crown to be fitted over it. We take a digital impression of your tooth to get the exact measurements necessary to create it to meet your specific needs. It can take the dental lab a couple of weeks to craft it with precision, so we attach a temporary crown in the meantime. After your crown is sent back to our office, you return for your second appointment to have it bonded to your tooth.
