What are Dental Crowns used for?
Crowns can be used for dental issues such as:
- Holding together a tooth that is particularly weak and at risk of breaking or fracturing
- Restoring a broken or cracked tooth
- Creating an anchor tooth (abutment) for a dental bridge
- Covering an extremely discolored tooth
- Supporting a tooth with a large filling
Process of Dental Crowns near you
At Brookstone Dental Care in Phoenix, it usually takes at least two appointments to have a crown placed. During the first visit, your dentist in 85032 will examine the tooth to make sure that it will be able to support a crown.
To prepare it to receive a crown, the tooth will have to be filed down a small portion to create room for the crown to fit. The tooth will be numbed first to minimize any pain or discomfort. If, on the other hand, the tooth is too damaged or broken, your dentist may need to build it up first. Once prepared, an impression will be taken of the tooth as well as the surrounding teeth. A dental laboratory will use the impression to create a custom-made crown. At the end of the first appointment, a temporary crown will be placed to keep the prepared tooth protected.
Once the crown is completed and returns from the dental lab, a second appointment will be needed to have the temporary crown removed and replaced with the permanent one. The crown will first be placed onto the tooth to check for the fit, with adjustments being made as necessary. Then, the tooth will be cleaned before the crown is fastened into place using a special adhesive.
