What do dental crowns entail?
What is the purpose of dental crowns?
There are several reasons why getting a new dental crown could be beneficial for you. The primary reason is when a tooth has cracked, fractured, or broken. Another situation where you might require a crown is if you have recently undergone a root canal, as this can make the tooth more susceptible to breaking. Additionally, if a tooth has a large filling or a deep area of decay, we may suggest crowning it to provide protection and restoration.
Who qualifies as a candidate for dental crowns?
What should one anticipate during dental crowns and bridges treatment?
The first step in getting a dental crown is to numb the area of the mouth where the crown will be placed. Dr. Husney will use a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort during the appointment. Next, the tooth is filed down to create enough space for the crown. Impressions are taken and used to create the new crown. A second appointment is scheduled to place the final crown. With proper care, the crown can last for many years, giving you a beautiful and healthy smile.
