The Steps of a Dental Crown Restoration

The Steps of a Dental Crown Restoration

If you have an extensively decayed tooth or the filling applied is too big for your tooth to support it, your dentist will probably recommend putting in a dental crown. This is a prosthesis designed to look like a natural tooth, but it is hollow inside to fit over the damaged tooth. In addition to fixing the aesthetic issue of the teeth, it helps restore the function of your tooth as well. As a result, crowns are a durable and natural-looking tooth restoration option.

Impression And Shade Taking

For the first step, your dentist will take alginate impressions of your upper and lower arches. This is the model that both the temporary and permanent crowns will be based on. Your dentist will then place a temporary crown to protect your tooth while the permanent crown is created in a dental lab.

Preparation

To place the crown over the problem tooth, your dentist will need to remove some of the tooth’s enamel to make room for the hollow part of the crown to fit over the tooth. This is to make sure the tooth will not look bulky or unnatural once the crown has been placed. Of all the processes involved in this procedure, this is the most time-consuming part. Your dentist will use a local anesthetic to ensure you are comfortable during the enamel-removing process.

Taking Of Final Impression

To ensure that the crown created fits perfectly and looks natural, your dentist will need to take final impressions of your teeth once they have been prepared for the crown. They must take extra care during this step, as it can affect the results of the permanent prosthesis created by an off-site lab.

Creating A Temporary Crown

This step serves more than just a cosmetic purpose. Temporary crowns are necessary to form a barrier to protect the exposed part of the tooth where the enamel has been removed. A temporary crown will also keep the prepared tooth from shifting out of place.

Application Of The Permanent Crown

The creation of the permanent crown is usually completed in about two weeks. Once the permanent crown is ready and the dentist has gotten it from the lab, you can schedule an appointment to have it placed. But, before the crown is placed, your dentist will need to clean the tooth, which may require local anesthesia thoroughly. Your dentist will also check the proper placement of the crown and the adjacent teeth to avoid future issues.


You will make slight adjustments to give you the best fit and ensure aesthetics, longevity, and proper bite. Your dentist will also provide you with care and maintenance instructions that you will need to follow to get the most out of your new crown.
