Why Choose Hamilton Lakes Dentistry for Dental Crowns?
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-crafted cap that is placed over the chewing surface of a damaged or weakened tooth above the gumline. This restoration can be made from a variety of different materials. We use porcelain, EMAX, zirconia, or gold depending on the location of your damaged tooth and the severity of the damage. Dental crowns are usually recommended for the following issues:
The Process of Getting a Dental Crown
Having a dental crown placed is a relatively simple procedure. It can usually be completed in a single appointment to the practice. The first step involves examining your smile to ensure that a crown is the best solution for you. Once this is confirmed by your dentist, a thin layer of enamel needs to be removed. This creates room for the crown to fit comfortably in the mouth and appear natural. An impression is then taken and sent to the dental laboratory where your crown will be crafted.
In the meantime, you will be provided with a temporary crown. This will protect your tooth and help you become accustomed to how your new crown will feel. As soon as your restoration is complete, you can return to the dental practice where it will be adhered to the tooth using a special dental cement.
