What Is a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns are protective caps made from durable materials such as metal alloys and porcelain. They’re used in multiple situations from restoring a decayed tooth to providing protection for teeth that have undergone root canals or completing a dental implant.
If you’ve suffered an oral injury or neglected your oral hygiene and have a tooth with a weakened structure, a dental crown could save it. Not only will a crown keep the tooth intact, but it will also shield it from bacteria, acid, and further damage. Whether you need a restoration to improve your oral health or revitalize your smile’s appearance, dental crowns can do it all!
The Process of Getting a Dental Crown
The process of receiving a dental crown usually takes two visits. This ensures that when you get your crown, it fits comfortably and stays strong. Here’s what you can expect:
- First Visit - Consultation: In this first step, you’ll come in for a consultation with Dr. Rodda. There, you’ll have your tooth cleaned and shaped to fit your future crown. Before you leave, you’ll have an impression made of your tooth and be fitted with a temporary crown while your permanent one is being fabricated.
- Second Visit – Fitting: In the second visit usually takes place a couple of weeks after the consultation. Here, the temporary crown is removed and the custom crown made by a partnered dental lab is fitted and cemented into place. Dr. Rodda then ensures the crown fits well and that there are no bite issues. Once this process is complete, you’re free to go home and enjoy all the benefits of a restored smile!
Benefits of Getting a Dental Crown
Dental crowns offer several great benefits, including:
- Restoring the strength, function, and appearance of damaged or decayed teeth.
- Protecting weak teeth from breaking by holding the parts of a cracked tooth together and supporting large fillings.
- Improving the shape and color of misshapen or severely discolored teeth.
- Withstanding biting and chewing forces, ensuring longevity, nutrition, and digestion.
- Enhancing your confidence by filling a gap left by a damaged or misshapen tooth.
- Improving your oral care routine by making the process easy. Simply care for your dental crowns the same way you care for your natural teeth!
