Sones Family Dental
A crown is a type of dental restoration that encases the entire tooth surface, restoring it to its original shape and size. Crowns are most commonly used to protect and strengthen a tooth structure that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of dental restoration. However, crowns can also be used for cosmetic purposes. crowns are made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, ceramic, and metal. Porcelain crowns are the most popular type of crown, as they are natural-looking and durable. However, metal crowns are also strong and long-lasting.
The type of crown best suited for a particular tooth will depend on several factors, including the location and function of the tooth, the patient's bite, and the aesthetic desires of the patient.
Your first appointment will include taking several highly accurate molds (or impressions) that will be used to create your custom crown. This mold will also be used to create a temporary crown, which will stay on your tooth until your new crown has been fabricated by a dental laboratory.
The second appointment is when you come in to have the temporary crown replaced with your permanent crown. Your bite will be checked to ensure the crown fits properly. After making sure that you can bite and chew comfortably, the dentist makes any final adjustments. With proper care, crowns can last a lifetime.
