When your teeth suffer damage, decay, or both, they tend to experience long-term problems. In fact, a damaged and decayed tooth can be considered a dental emergency. Fortunately enough, though, there’s a way to fix such pearly whites: dental crowns in Dallas from Avion Dental & Orthodontics! These restorations protect your tooth’s damaged areas and help them look better than ever. If you’d like to find out more, feel free to book a consultation with our office. We’d be happy to help!
Put plainly, a dental crown is a cap-shaped structure that fits over a damaged tooth. Doing so restores a pearly white’s structure, function, and appearance. In general, a patient would qualify for dental crowns in the following cases:
Of course, you can always talk to your local dentist to confirm your crown candidacy.
Placing a dental crown usually takes a few appointments, at least.
The first visit will include an oral exam to confirm if a crown is right for you. As part of this step, your dentist will examine your mouth for any prior oral health issues. Depending on what they find, they might recommend preventive work before the crown treatment. Otherwise, the dentist will walk you through what to expect from the procedure.
Later, you’ll attend a “prep” visit that readies your tooth for its crown. For starters, this stage will remove some enamel, so the final product lays flush with surrounding teeth. It’ll then have your dentist take an impression used to make your crown.
Lastly, once the ceramic crown is ready, we’ll call you back for the final appointment. Your dentist will place the completed prosthetic over your tooth at that time. Before you leave, we’ll also explain how to care for your new restoration.
