When you go to the dentist, you hope that they don’t have any concerns about your oral health, but even if you take good care of your teeth, there may be a time when you have a damaged tooth that needs to be restored. Fortunately, there are many ways that your Preston dentists can restore your teeth, including a dental crown.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is essentially a porcelain cap that covers your entire tooth. Dental crowns look natural while restoring your tooth’s function.
When Would I Need a Dental Crown?
If you have a tooth that is too damaged for a dental filling or inlay, you may be a candidate for a dental crown.
Dental crowns can also be used to hold a dental bridge in place or as the final restoration on top of a dental implant.
The Dental Crown Procedure
If your treatment plan warrants a dental crown, we’ll begin by preparing your tooth for the crown before taking impressions of your teeth; these impressions are used to create your crown.
You’ll be fitted with a temporary crown while the dental lab creates your crown. Once completed, we will bond your new crown in place and then check to ensure that your bite is correct.
