Having teeth that are decayed or showing signs of wear and tear means they’re more vulnerable to fractures and other damage. It’s also hard to eat when you have significant tooth damage or decay. At [practice_name], our dentists in Lighthouse Point and Fort Lauderdale, FL, offer dental crowns to restore and protect these teeth. Here’s what happens during these appointments.
Tooth Preparation
We need to ensure that your new crown has room and a good foundation. That involves preparing your tooth with a small amount of enamel removal.
Dental Impressions
Our dental team takes impressions of your tooth that are used to produce a custom crown. These impressions help ensure a proper fit and natural look.
Temporary Crown
Your new crown won’t be ready right away. In the meantime, we put a temporary crown on the affected tooth to protect it until your next appointment.
Permanent Crown Placement
When your new custom crown is ready, we’ll have you come in for another visit. During this appointment, we remove the temporary crown and replace it with your new one.
Permanent Crown Bonding
The last step in the process involves securing your crown to your tooth with dental cement. This helps it stay in place, ensuring protection for your tooth and lowering the risk of damage.
Care Instructions
Our dental team provides you with guidance on how to care for your new dental crown so it stays in good condition.
