Before you make a decision regarding dental crowns, its best to have an understanding of the process. Before you begin with your crowns, you will have a consultation with your dentist. Here, you will speak with your dentist to determine if this is the best for your oral care.
The process begins with your dentist using a color chart to determine which color will best match the rest of your teeth. This helps create a more natural appearance once we place the crown. Then, they shape the tooth to create space for the new dental crowns. If cavities are present, we remove them. If a space is left from a root canal, we use a permanent material to fill the space. To make an impression of the teeth, you will bite down on a substance similar to clay.
A lab will use the mold to create dental crowns that fit your teeth perfectly. A temporary crown allows you to function before the permanent crowns are complete. A cement allows the dentist to attach the crown. After placement, they will check your bite and jaw movement.
