Dental Crowns
A crown, sometimes called a cap, is a way to cover chipped, broken or weakened teeth, strengthening your teeth and restoring your smile. A crown could also be used to protect the tooth following a root filling or to help hold a denture or bridge in place.
Usually your tooth will need to be shaped, under local anaesthetic, and an impression taken by your dentist, which is then sent to the laboratory in order for your crown to be custom-made. You will go away with a temporary crown which your dentist will replace with your custom-made one once it has been made.
Sometimes, especially with root fillings, a post may need to be used to help retain the crown. Posts can be pre-made from titanium or carbon fibres and your dentist can cement them directly into the root canal, ready for the crown to be fitted over the top. In certain circumstances it is necessary to custom-make a post, which is made by a dental technician.
The Dental Crown Procedure at Corner House Dental
Our dental crown process is designed to be comfortable and efficient:
- Consultation and Examination: During your initial consultation, our dentist will thoroughly examine your teeth, discuss your concerns, and determine if a dental crown is the right solution for you.
- Digital Impressions and Treatment Planning: We utilize advanced digital technology to capture precise digital impressions of your teeth. This creates a comfortable experience and allows for a customized treatment plan.
- Tooth Preparation: A minimal amount of tooth enamel is removed to prepare the tooth for the crown. Local anesthesia ensures a painless procedure.
- Temporary Crown: A temporary crown will be placed to protect your tooth while the permanent crown is being crafted in a dental lab.
- Crown Placement: In your second appointment, your custom-made crown will be carefully placed and securely bonded onto your tooth.
