What Is a Dental Crown?
Think of a dental crown as a deluxe filling, but instead of only restoring a small portion of damaged enamel, it fits over your reshaped tooth like a cap. Your dentist will then cement the crown in place, so it both looks and feels just like a real tooth.
If you have a tooth that has a deep crack, severe damage or extensive decay, a dental crown can restore the damaged areas without the need for an extraction, allowing you to continue using the tooth as intended all the while protecting the underlying structure from further damage.
The Process of Getting a Dental Crown
Getting a dental crown is easy. First, your dentist will take impressions of the damaged tooth. Then, he will carefully remove the damaged portions and make more impressions of the remaining structure. You will then be fitted with a temporary crown, which you will wear to protect the tooth until your permanent crown is delivered to our office from the dental lab. Typically, this takes about two weeks.
Once your new crown arrives, you will be scheduled to return to Dentistry by Canyon Creek to have the temporary crown removed and the permanent crown attached. Once attached, you will be able to immediately begin using the newly restored tooth to enjoy a full diet without any recovery period or downtime.
Benefits of Getting a Dental Crown
Failure to protect teeth with severe damage could eventually result in worsening oral health problems, including complete loss of the tooth. Restoring the tooth with a dental crown can provide the following incredible benefits:
- Improved comfort and chewing ability.
- Protection of the underlying natural tooth.
- Versatile prosthetics can correct a variety of oral health problems at once.
- Dental crowns can be customized to match your surrounding teeth.
