The Dental Crown Procedure Broken Down
Once you have been deemed eligible for the treatment, the dental crown material will be chosen based on your taste, position of the tooth being repaired and your budget.
A local anesthetic will be applied at the start of the procedure to make tooth reshaping a painless and comfortable process.
Sometimes, the tooth is reshaped before the crown is prepared at the lab. A temporary crown will be placed on the tooth in this case. Temporary crowns are usually made of tooth-colored plastic. They wear out quickly and are not built to withstand heavy bite pressure.
They are replaced immediately when the permanent crown is received from the lab.
When do you need a dental crown?
The following dental problems can be fixed by a dental crown:
- When your tooth has a large filling and is prone to fractures and cracks
- When you had a root canal that left the repaired tooth hollow
- You have cracked tooth syndrome
- You have a missing tooth
- You want to improve your appearance
- You have a broken cusp on one of your teeth.
