Crowns are used to renew the appearance and function of a tooth. Crowns are not limited to just replacing the natural tooth but can be designed to create an even better aesthetic appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other reasons for needing a dental crown include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 To protect a weak tooth from breaking or to hold together parts of a cracked tooth.<br>\u2022 To cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there is not a sufficient amount of tooth structure remaining.<br>\u2022 To cover severely discolored teeth.<br>\u2022 To restore an already broken tooth or a tooth that has been severely worn down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, they are often used in conjunction with root canal therapy, dental implants, or as an anchor for a bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crowns are typically made from porcelain in order to maintain strength and a natural appearance. The process of placing a crown may take 1-2 office visits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The procedure of receiving a crown is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>First Visit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>X-rays will be taken to check the roots of the tooth receiving the crown. If the tooth has extensive decay or there is a risk of infection, a root canal treatment may be performed first.<\/li><li>Anesthesia is used to numb the area to eliminate pain. The tooth that is receiving the crown will be filed down to make room for the crown.<\/li><li>Your dentist will make an impression of the tooth using paste or putty. These impressions are sent to the lab where the crown will be manufactured.<\/li><li>A temporary crown is placed to cover and protect the prepared tooth while the crown is being made.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Second Visit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Once your permanent crown arrives, your temporary crown will be removed and your permanent crown will be placed over your tooth to ensure the right fit and color.<\/li><li>If the permanent crown is acceptable, an anesthetic will be used to numb the tooth and the crown is permanently cemented in place.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once treatment is complete, continue to practice proper at-home care and keep regular office visits to help your crown last many years. Much like your natural teeth, crowns require routine brushing and flossing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over time, our teeth begin to weaken and become more susceptible to problems such as decay, cracks, or discoloration.
