What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a restoration designed to replace lost enamel structure or improve the appearance of an unsightly or misshapen tooth, and these devices are common treatments for damaged or decayed teeth. Almost anyone who is free from oral infections like cavities and gum disease can be an excellent candidate for a dental crown. If a patient has these issues, we’ll be happy to address them at our office so they can receive a gorgeous restoration later.
The Dental Crown Process
At Norwood Dental Care, we are proud to offer crowns made from ceramic materials like porcelain that make them virtually indistinguishable from natural dental structures. After Dr. Michaels determines that a dental crown is the best treatment for you, he will be happy to schedule you for an appointment to have the device placed. This procedure will always begin with the patient receiving an appropriate anesthetic to ensure their comfort. When they are ready, Dr. Michaels will carefully reshape the treated tooth, take detailed measurements of it, and place a temporary crown so they can get used to wearing it.
It will take about two weeks for a beautiful and customized restoration to be crafted at a trusted dental lab. When the final crown is ready, the patient will come back to our office so Dr. Michael can place it and make any necessary adjustments. We’ll then provide them with detailed aftercare instructions, and they’ll be ready to begin showing off their restored grin that day.
The Benefits of Getting a Dental Crown
Neglecting to receive a necessary dental crown can lead to a host of oral health issues like worsening infections, chronic pain, and permanent tooth loss. Receiving a necessary dental crown, on the other hand, can provide a range of important benefits like:
- A lifelike appearance
- Protecting your tooth from infection and injury
- Addressing a range of oral health issues at once
- Improving your chewing ability
- Lasting for up to fifteen years with excellent care
The best ways to ensure that your dental crown stays in great shape for as long as possible are to practice excellent oral hygiene, be mindful when chewing, and attend routine dental checkups every six months.
