Why Would I Need a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns are highly versatile restorations that are designed to treat individual teeth. Their purpose has a two-pronged effect – the crown’s customized shape will fit over the remaining natural structure of the tooth, both protecting it from further harm and rebuilding its original shape, esthetic appearance, and ability to function. Here in Winthrop, our dentists may recommend a dental crown when faced with the following situations:
- A tooth already contains a large filling and needs additional support.
- A tooth is suffering from advanced decay that cannot be successfully treated with a filling.
- A tooth has been seriously injured or fractured.
- A tooth is weakened and has a high risk of fracturing in the near future without intervention.
- A tooth has a serious cosmetic imperfection that needs to be corrected.
- A tooth has been treated with root canal treatment and needs to gain strength and protection.
We enjoy recommending all-ceramic, metal-free dental crowns whenever possible for superior aesthetic results. This type of restoration is also made to restore state-of-the-art dental implants.
The Dental Crowns Process
Dr. Howard or Dr. Stephanie Brooks will begin by administering local anesthesia to the affected tooth before clearing out any diseased or damaged areas. Once they feel confident in the cleanliness of the structure, they will fill it to create a tight seal so that future bacteria cannot re-enter and negatively affect the tooth. It will then be altered to ensure the new crown fits comfortably over the vulnerable area before digital impressions are taken.
This 3D model will be sent to lab technicians who will create the finalized crown based on the specifications provided by our dentists. While waiting for your permanent crown, you will wear a temporary one to better protect your injured tooth.
After a few weeks, you will return to our Winthrop dental office to have your temporary removed and your finalized crown bonded into place.
