Dental crowns are a common restoration used to repair the smile when damage or injury has occurred to a natural tooth. Crowns for teeth are available at R Dentists in Mississauga, ON.
What are dental crowns?
Dental crowns are sometimes referred to as “caps.” They are considered an effective solution for patients who need to strengthen a tooth that is weak. This may be due to a procedure such as root canal therapy which has made the tooth brittle, or because of a large cavity that may affect the tooth’s natural structure and strength. The dental crown is made to fit over the tooth and provide strength and protection, while maintaining the aesthetic appearance of the smile.
What is the process for obtaining a dental crown?
- Consultation. First, patients should consult with their dentist during an initial appointment to determine if a dental crown is right for them.
- Preparation. Once patients decide to move forward with the placement of a crown, preparations are made. This includes filing down the tooth and removing a large portion of the enamel.
- Molds. Impressions are made of the prepared tooth. These are sent to a dental laboratory for creation of the final restoration. This process can take approximately a week or longer.
- Placement. Once the final restoration comes into the dental office, patients return for an appointment, during which the final restoration is bonded into place.
