What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a cap that protects and restores a damaged tooth. We provide several types of dental crowns, including porcelain, resin, zirconia, ceramic, gold, and chromium. We may recommend a dental crown if you’re experiencing one or more of the following:
- Decayed teeth
- Discolored teeth
- Chipped teeth
- Worn-down teeth
- Teeth with oversized fillings
The crown sits snugly on the top (the “crown”) of the natural tooth to protect it from further damage.
The Dental Crown Process
When you come in for your appointment, we place your crown in two steps:- Preparing for the crown: During your first appointment, we will prepare your tooth for the crown. This involves taking a dental impression of your tooth and providing a temporary crown that you will wear until your next appointment.
- Creating the permanent crown: We send your dental impression to a lab to create a custom-fit crown that will attach to your tooth.
- Placing the permanent crown: Once your custom crown is done, we will permanently attach it with dental cement, check the fit, and make sure it feels comfortable.
