Dental Crown Procedure - What to Expect

Discolored or weak teeth and
cosmetic purposes are some of the
reasons you may need to have a
dental crown procedure done.

Knowing your end goal will
determine the type of crown
you choose.

A family dentist will help you make
this decision.

Here are some of the things that
you should expect with this
procedure.

First, schedule an appointment with
your dentist. He or she will go over
all your options and explain the pros
and cons of the procedure.

The type of crown chosen must be
one that your tooth can support.

There are various types of crowns,
such as:
 Ceramic
 Porcelain
 Resin
 Stainless Steel

Each of these will provide different
benefits.
However, all crowns offer a
solution to a specific dental issue,
such as problems caused by an
accident, normal wear and tear,
or an oral disease.

You will typically need to make
two trips to the dentist for this
procedure. This can vary from
dentist-to-dentist.

At the first appointment, the
dentist will evaluate your tooth
to verify that it can support the
crown.
After this is done, they will begin
filing the tooth down.

Sometimes the tooth can be badly
damaged or cracked.
If so, it may need to be filled so the
tooth will be big enough to support
the crown.

Otherwise, the tooth would reject
the crown. Remember, if the
procedure is not done correctly, it
could make the tooth worse, which
may lead to severe health issues.

After successfully filing the tooth,
your dentist will take an impression.
This impression will be used to
make the permanent crown.

You will receive a temporary crown
to protect your tooth until the
permanent one is available.
Once the crown is ready, you will
have your second appointment.

The first step is removing the
temporary crown. Using a special
adhesive, your dentist will position
and fasten the new crown to the
tooth.

This part of the procedure will
bring everything together. The
crown will only be cemented
when you and the dentist agree
on the fit.

Remember that once this is done,
some changes, such as various
shape modifications or colors
cannot be made.

You will need to take some
precautions with your new crown.
The dentist will go over a few
instructions with you.

For example, you may need to
avoid eating sticky or hard food
until the crown has enough time
to cure.

You will likely experience some
numbness for a couple of days.
After the numbness has
disappeared, you can begin
testing the bite of your crown.

If it does not feel right, you will
need to contact your dentist
immediately.

You may go through a period of
adjustment. However, if the
procedure is done correctly …

… your new crown will begin to
feel like a normal tooth in terms
of its function and appearance.

Before the procedure, be sure to
ask your family dentist as many
questions as necessary. He or she
will help you decide what type of
crown is best for you.

They also will explain the
procedure in more depth,
such as its pros and cons.

And, before you know it, you will
be smiling and showing off your
new pearly whites.
