Dental Crown Procedure
Our doctors at Southern Cross Dental usually recommend dental crowns to patients who have large fillings, broken teeth or cracked teeth. A dental crown is a fixed prosthetic device that is cemented onto existing teeth or implants. The purpose a dental crown serves is to strengthen a particularly weak tooth that needs to be held together or requires a dental bridge, or to enhance the appearance of a tooth if it is extremely discolored. If you’ve been told you need a dental crown, allow us to explain how the procedure works to prepare you for your appointment.
The procedure for installing a dental crown is usually completed in two separate visits to the office. During your first appointment, one of our doctors will examine the tooth in question to guarantee that it will support a dental crown. Once this is confirmed, the doctor will begin preparing the tooth for the crown. You will then be fitted for a temporary crown while your permanent one is constructed in a dental lab. Once your permanent crown is ready, you will have your second appointment where it will be placed.
If you have questions or concerns regarding dental crowns, please give us a call. To learn about the services we provide at our practice, visit www.scdsmile.com for more information.
