A dental crown is a cap that is placed over a tooth to repair damage or to change the shape, size, and/or color. Dental crowns are also the final restoration in a dental implant.
A dental crown can be made from a number of different types of material. One of our experienced dentists at Fuller Dental will examine your smile and determine which material is right for you. Materials like porcelain and composite resin can be color matched to help your crown blend naturally. Our goal is to create a natural looking, lasting dental crown that fits seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
Benefits of Dental Crowns:
At our Burlington dental office, we want to make sure our patients are comfortable and well informed about their dental procedure. Receiving your new dental crown usually require two visits to our Burlington dental office. After a thorough examination of the teeth, one of our experienced cosmetic dentists will remove a small amount of tooth structure. Removing a small amount of tooth structure from the tooth helps get rid of any decay and helps the crown fit more securely on the tooth.
We will then take an impression of your teeth to get an accurate measure of your teeth to create a customized dental crown. While your crown is being completed, we will supply you with a temporary dental crown. Once completed, we will properly place your new dental crown in your mouth and make any necessary adjustments.
Crowns can last over 15 years if you take care of them. In the days following the crown procedure, chew your food on the other side of your mouth. In the first days after receiving your crown, the cement will still be hardening. Once the cement has hardened, and the crown is set, you can resume chewing on both sides. The area around the newly crowned tooth may be sensitive in the days that follow the crown procedure, so it’s important to floss with extra care. Instead of lifting the floss from the gaps between the teeth, gently slide it out.
