Our Process
Consultation: The dentist begins with a consultation to discuss the need for a crown, examining the tooth in question and possibly taking X-rays to assess the roots of the tooth and surrounding bone.
Anesthesia: To start the procedure, the dentist administers a local anesthetic to numb the tooth and surrounding gum tissue.
Shaping the Tooth: The dentist then reshapes the tooth by filing down the chewing surface and sides to make room for the crown. The amount removed depends on the type of crown used.
Impressions: After reshaping, the dentist makes an impression of the tooth using a paste or putty. Impressions of the teeth above and below the tooth to receive the dental crown are also taken to ensure that the crown will not affect your bite.
Temporary Crown: A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while the permanent crown is being made in the lab. This temporary crown is typically made of acrylic and is held in place using temporary cement.
Laboratory Work: The impressions are sent to a dental lab where the crown will be manufactured. This process usually takes a couple of weeks. The crown can be made from various materials, which are selected based on the tooth's location, function, aesthetic considerations, and cost.
Removal of Temporary Crown: Once the permanent crown is ready, the temporary crown is removed.
Fitting the Permanent Crown: The dentist checks the fit and color of the permanent crown and makes any necessary adjustments. If everything is satisfactory, the crown is permanently cemented into place.
Care Instructions: The dentist provides instructions on how to care for the new crown, including good oral hygiene practices, foods to avoid, and scheduling regular dental check-ups.
