Which type of crowns are suitable for me?
Dental crowns can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, zirconia, and metal-porcelain. The choice of material depends on the location of the tooth, the amount of missing teeth and the patient’s preference. Porcelain and Zirconia crowns are often used for front teeth because they can be made to match the color of the surrounding teeth, while monolithic zirconia crowns are typically used for back teeth because they are stronger and more durable.
Overall, dental crowns are a safe and effective way to restore damaged or decayed teeth and improve the overall appearance of your smile. Our team can help you determine whether a crown is necessary and which type of crown is best suited for your needs. With proper care, dental crowns can last for many years and provide you with a healthy, beautiful smile.
Steps of Dental Crown Procedure
Dental crowns are a popular dental treatment that are used to restore and protect damaged teeth. The process of getting a dental crown typically involves several steps, which we will outline below:
Step 1: Consultation and Evaluation
The first step in the dental crown process is a consultation with our team. During this consultation, the dentist will evaluate your oral health and discuss your goals for the procedure. They will also explain the benefits and limitations of dental crowns and help you determine whether this treatment is right for you. Afterwards, the dentist will take a digital scan and pictures of your teeth to send to the lab in order to begin the process of designing the perfect crowns which suit your facial features.
Step 2: Tooth Preparation Once you have decided to proceed with a dental crown, the next step is to prepare your teeth. This involves removing any decayed or damaged areas of the tooth and shaping/shaving the remaining tooth structure to fit the crown. This process involves using a local anesthetic to numb the area around the tooth.
Step 3: Impression
After your teeth have been prepared, the dentist will take another impression. This impression will be sent to our dental laboratory, where your custom crowns will be created. In the meantime, the dentist will place temporary crowns on your teeth to protect it and maintain your smile’s appearance.
Step 4: Crown Placement Once your custom crowns are ready, the dentist will remove the temporary crowns and clean your tooth thoroughly. The crowns will be checked for fit and color before it they are cemented into place using a special adhesive. Once the crowns are in place, the dentist will make any final adjustments to ensure that it fits comfortably and looks natural.
Step 5: Follow-Up
After your crowns are in place, the dentist will give you instructions on how to care for your new teeth, including proper brushing and flossing techniques.
In summary, the process of getting dental crowns involves a consultation and evaluation, tooth preparation, impression, and crown placement. This process typically takes several appointments over the course of one week, but the end result is a stronger and more aesthetically pleasing tooth. If you are in need of a dental crown, it is important to seek treatment from a qualified dentist who has experience performing this procedure.
