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.
Do not let a broken or rotting tooth affect your confidence or dental health. Consult your dentist right away to learn more about dental crowns and how they can help you strengthen and improve the look of your smile. A dental crown can help you preserve a healthy, attractive smile for many years with proper maintenance.
