Dental Crown Procedure
Most dental crown appointments are fairly lengthy, even if they are only a temporary crown, and will usually require two different visits or more – more than two visits is very unlikely.
Step 1: The first crown visit will be when your dentist examines your tooth for stability and other crown related traits.
Step 2: If the dentist judges that the tooth is capable of supporting a crown the dentist will then the filing process. This is very similar to having your teeth drilled for fillings. They will commonly give you a numbing general anesthetic for the pain and set straight to work. This can take a long time and you should remain as still as possible while it is being done so that only the designated area is shaved down.
Step 3: Afterwards, a impression will be taken, if it is a permanent crown then the impression will be sent to a lab.
Step 4: After that, the crown will be cemented to the tooth or set of teeth and affixed.
Dental Crowns – Frequently Asked Questions
– Ceramic crowns are made of porcelain based filling materials, ideally used for restoring of the front teeth. This is because they can be color blended with the natural teeth.
– Porcelain fused to metal crowns is a hybrid between all metal and all ceramic crowns. They are considered as extremely durable.
– Metal alloy crowns are of two types
* Gold and Silver
* Titanium alloys
Porcelain crowns are less about strength and more about aesthetics. Their ability to blend in with natural teeth makes them an ideal choice for front teeth replacement. They are however susceptible to cracking under high pressure.
