A dental crown is a prosthetic tooth that’s placed over your natural tooth when it’s damaged or misshapen. Placement of a crown is the most common of all dental restorations and is an effective way to improve your smile and protect your oral health.
Using material such as resin, porcelain, ceramic, or other durable materials, a customized crown at Wall Street Dental Spa fits over the top of a damaged tooth. A dental crown covers the part of the natural tooth that sits above the gum line, or the crown of the tooth.
When a crown is in place, you can’t tell the difference between the restoration and your natural teeth.
Your crown placement may take place over the course of a couple of visits to Wall Street Dental Spa. During your visit for crown placement, your dentist removes any decayed material from your natural tooth. Then, they shape the remaining tooth in order to create a foundation for your crown.
During this same visit, they take impressions of your remaining tooth. This may be done digitally, or by using a specialized mold. Your dentist then places a temporary crown, which allows for normal eating and drinking while your permanent crown is being created.
In about 1-3 weeks, you return to the office for placement of your permanent crown, which is permanently secured using a special adhesive that cures and hardens over time.
To see if a crown is the right restoration for you, call or book an appointment with Wall Street Dental Spa today.
