Broken or delayed teeth – Compromised teeth can be supported and protected by a dental crown.
Rebuilding Worn Teeth – Grinding can cause important parts of your tooth to wear away, exposing dentin and nerves. To prevent further damage, a crown can provide further protection.
Cosmetic improvements – Teeth that are misshapen, discoloured or chipped can be improved by a dental crown or bridge.
What is the procedure for dental crowns and bridges?
First, the affected area will be completely numbed to make a virtually painless experience. From there, your dentist will remove any decay and damage from your tooth making space for the dental crown to fit with your other teeth.
Next, your dentist will make an impression of your teeth to create a custom crown to fit your smile. In the meantime, you will be provided a temporary crown to protect the tooth.
Finally, your dentist will adhere the crown to the tooth and adjust your bite.
