dentalcrowndirectviewdentalcrowndirectviewIf you need a dental crown to save or protect your tooth then you are probably already familiar with the basic details of this restorative treatment. For instance, you know that a crown is a hollow dental prosthetic shaped like a tooth and custom-designed to fit over your remaining tissue. What you may not be so certain of is what type of material we plan on using, how we design the crown to blend seamlessly with your smile, or what to expect along the way. Allow us to provide you with the clarity you seek, so you feel educated and empowered regarding your dental care.

Consultation and Planning

If you need a crown, we will begin by meeting with you. It is important that we completely inspect your oral cavity with the use of a visual exam as well as advanced imaging technology, such as digital X-rays. We will need a detailed understanding of what is happening with your tooth to ensure a crown is the best restorative solution. Then, we will create a plan tailored to your oral health needs, which will begin with taking impressions (or molds of your smile) to provide us with blueprints for the creation of your crown.

Crafting Your Crown

You will wear a temporary crown while your permanent crown is designed and created. We will send your impressions to a trusted dental lab. At the lab, a master ceramicist will create a porcelain crown or porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crown, depending on your particular needs. The crown will match your surrounding smile for beautiful results.

Placing Your Crown

During placement, we will bond the crown over your tooth for long-term wear. We will also make any necessary adjustments to promote a comfortable fit.
