Treatments
Dental Crown
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped, natural-colored coverings that are placed on the tooth’s surface to provide the desired shape, strength and resilience, while improving its appearance. These fixed prosthetic devices are manufactured in the dental lab and permanently bonded onto your natural tooth structure with dental cement. If you wish to bring back a beautiful smile that is your ‘crowning glory’ - give your teeth a new life, with dental crowns.
The Procedure
The crowning process usually takes two visits. During the first visit your dentist will anesthetize the affected tooth and file it down to make room for the crown. He will then take accurate molds or impressions that are used to create your custom crown. A temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth while your new crown is fabricated at the dental lab. During your second visit the temporary crown is removed, the tooth is cleaned and the new crown is placed, to ensure a proper fit and alignment.
