The Dental Crowns Procedure
Two visits are required to place a tooth crown. The first visit involves an examination and the preparation of your tooth. A few x-rays may be taken to determine any decay or damage to the roots. The tooth is then prepared for the crown. Next, an impression will be made of the tooth and the surrounding teeth and sent to our dental lab, where our master ceramist will create your crown based on the dimensions of the impression. The color will be designed to match your natural tooth color. A temporary crown is placed over your tooth to protect it until your permanent crown is ready.
During your second visit, the crown will be tested and proper fit. Also, we closely examine it to ensure it doesn't interfere with your bite and functions effectively. Provided everything is correct, the new crown is permanently cemented into place.
Reasons for Placing a Dental Crown
The following are some of the reasons a teeth crown may be the right solution for you:
- To cover a dental implant
- To cover a severely discolored tooth
- To cover a misshapen tooth
- To hold a dental bridge in place

- To prevent a weakened tooth from further damage or breaking
- To hold a cracked tooth together
- To cover and support a significantly decayed tooth or one that is mostly filling
