The specific need for a dental crown will depend on the individual case and the assessment by a dentist. This will evaluate the tooth’s condition and recommend a crown if it is the most suitable treatment option to restore and protect its functionality and appearance.
What To Expect During A Dental Crown Procedure
During a dental crown procedure, you can expect the following steps:
- Consultation and Examination: Your dentist will examine your tooth and discuss the need for a dental crown. X-rays or digital scans may use the tooth’s condition and plan the treatment.
- Tooth Preparation: The tooth receiving the crown will be prepared by trimming the outer enamel. This is done to create space for the crown to fit properly. If the tooth has extensive decay or damage, additional tooth structure may need to be removed.
- Impression or Digital Scan: The prepared tooth’s appearance or digital scan will be taken. This will serve as a mold for creating the custom crown that fits your tooth precisely. The impression or scan is sent to a dental laboratory where the crown is fabricated.
- Temporary crowns: constructed, a temporary crown will cover it. the prepared tooth. This temporary crown protects the tooth and maintains its appearance and function until the final crown is ready.
- Crown Fabrication: In the dental laboratory, skilled technicians will fabricate your permanent crown based on the impression or digital scan.
- Crown placement: Return to the dental office to place your permanent crown. The dentist removes and cleans the temporary crown tooth, and checks the fit and appearance of the permanent crown. Adjustments may be made if necessary.
- Crown Bonding: Once the fit and appearance are confirmed, your dentist will use dental cement or adhesive to bond the crown onto the prepared tooth. Your glue will be cleaned and the bite will be checked to ensure proper alignment.
- Post-Procedure Care: Your dentist will provide instructions on caring for your new crown, including proper oral hygiene practices and any dietary restrictions. Regular dental check-ups will be recommended to monitor the crown’s condition and oral health.
The entire dental crown procedure may span over two dental visits. Local anesthesia is typically used to ensure a comfortable experience during tooth preparation and crown placement.
It’s important to follow your dentist’s instructions and maintain good oral hygiene to prolong the lifespan of your dental crown and preserve the health of the underlying tooth structure.
