What Is a Dental Crown?
Also referred to as a “dental cap,” crowns are restorations that are designed to completely cover a damaged or decayed tooth to improve its appearance and structure. They can be constructed out of various materials, including zirconia, porcelain-fused-to-metal, EMAX, and porcelain to provide lifelike results. Our team will also ensure they specifically match your smile, meaning others won’t even notice the difference.
In most cases, we’ll recommend dental crowns for those who have:
- Severely damaged or decayed teeth
- Undergone root canal therapy
- Discolored or misshapen teeth
- Dental implants that need to be topped with a restoration
- A bridge that requires support
The Dental Crown Process
You’ll likely need to plan on visiting our dental office at least two times. The first step is to schedule an initial consultation with our team. During this visit, Dr. Makwana will review your medical/dental history and assess your oral health for any underlying issues. If you’re eligible for dental crowns, we’ll remove any damaged structures to prepare the tooth to receive a crown. Then, we’ll take impressions of your bite.
These are then sent to a dental lab where a custom dental crown is crafted. You will be fitted with a temporary restoration that protects your prepared tooth. Once the custom crown arrives, you’ll return to our practice and exchange the temporary one for your final dental crown. We’ll verify that your restoration fits and that you’re satisfied with the results before sending you on your way.
