Dental CROWNs in Mount Holly, Charlotte, NC

WHAT ARE DENTAL CROWNS?

Dental crowns, also known as caps, are dental prosthetics that are used to restore damaged or decayed teeth to their natural size, shape, and strength.

They are custom-made to fit over a damaged tooth or a dental implant, covering the entire visible portion of the tooth above the gum line.

THE DENTAL CROWN PLACEMENT PROCESS

CONSULTATION AND EXAMINATION

Before the crown placement process begins, your Charlotte dentist will conduct a comprehensive examination of the affected tooth and surrounding gum tissue to determine the best treatment plan. This may involve taking x-rays and impressions of the teeth.

TOOTH PREPARATION

Once the treatment plan is established, the dentist will begin preparing the affected tooth by removing any decayed or damaged areas. The tooth may also need to be shaped to accommodate the crown.

CROWN FABRICATION

After tooth preparation is complete, the dentist will take an impression of the affected tooth to create a custom-made crown that fits perfectly. The impression is sent to a dental laboratory where the crown is fabricated.

TEMPORARY CROWN PLACEMENT

While waiting for the permanent crown to be fabricated, the dentist will place a temporary crown over the prepared tooth to protect it from damage and sensitivity.

PERMANENT CROWN PLACEMENT

Once the permanent crown is ready, the temporary crown is removed, and the permanent crown is cemented onto the prepared tooth.

FINAL ADJUSTMENTS AND POLISHING

The dentist will make any final adjustments to ensure the crown fits properly and feels comfortable. The crown is then polished to give it a natural and shiny appearance.

LAB-MADE

These crowns are designed in a dental lab and are made of materials like porcelain, metal, or a combination of both. Porcelain crowns are known for their natural appearance and are a popular choice for front teeth, while metal crowns are often used for molars as they are more durable. Combination crowns offer a blend of both materials, providing the durability of metal and the natural look of porcelain.
