What Is a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns are customized “caps” that are placed over the chewing surface of decayed and damaged teeth. They are designed to completely cover the remaining structure of a single tooth, helping to preserve it while also replenishing its natural shape and strength. There are several situations where Dr. Parker is likely to recommend a new crown, including:
- Severe tooth decay that can’t be treated with a filling
- Physical injury to a tooth
- Weakened tooth structure that needs support to prevent fracturing
- Significant cosmetic imperfections
- Restoring a single lost tooth that’s been replaced with a dental implant
- Restoring a single tooth that’s been treated with root canal therapy
The Dental Crown Process
Dental crowns are placed over two separate appointments. During the first one, we start by numbing the area with a local anesthetic. Then, we will remove the damaged and decayed portions of your tooth structure. We will also need to remove a small amount of enamel from around the tooth to allow the crown to fit perfectly. Once the teeth are prepared, impressions are taken and sent to the dental lab. We will place a temporary crown on your prepared tooth to keep it safe until your permanent one has been delivered. In just a couple of weeks, you can return to our practice to get your new restoration.
