What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a customized restoration that offers protection to a structurally weakened tooth while allowing you to enjoy the benefits of a fully functional, beautiful smile. Designed to fit over an affected tooth once plagued by dental decay or damage, a dental crown can last 15+ years if you commit to taking proper care of it. Since our restorations are crafted from tooth-colored materials, you’ll appreciate the blended appearance, making it easier to conceal your dental work from those around you.
The Dental Crown Process
At SoHay Dental, Dr. Diep will make sure a dental crown is the right method of treatment before starting the process, which is as follows:
- We will administer local anesthesia to numb the tooth and the surrounding area.
- We will begin clearing out any decayed or damaged portions of the tooth before altering it in preparation for the final crown placement.
- Our team will take impressions of your tooth so that the image can be sent to a local dental laboratory. There, technicians will use tooth-colored materials to craft your crown based on the size, shape, and color indicated by Dr. Diep.
- We will have you wear a temporary crown between appointments to not only safeguard your vulnerable tooth but also help you get a feel for what your new crown will look and feel like once put in place.
- After several weeks, you will return to our office and have the temporary crown removed. We’ll then secure the new restoration in place, making sure it fits snugly over your tooth and feels comfortable when you bite down.
The Benefits of Getting a Dental Crown
Having a dental crown put in place may not be what you envisioned for your smile, but many great benefits come with this type of treatment, such as:
- Superior tooth protection
- A reduced risk of needing more invasive procedures, like a root canal or tooth extraction
- Improved chewing and eating abilities
- A more confident and beautiful smile because of the tooth-colored materials that are used
- Results that can last 15+ years with proper care
