Dental Crown Teeth can sometimes become severely worn, broken, or need to be extracted. In these cases, custom crowns and bridges can help restore both the function and appearance of your smile. Crowns are used to repair damaged teeth, while bridges replace missing or extracted teeth. These treatments can also be combined with other dental procedures, such as dental implants or root canals, to restore both single and multiple teeth. Crowns are made from various materials, including:
What Are Dental Crowns Used For?Crowns are used for a variety of restorative and cosmetic reasons, including:
How Is the Dental Crown Procedure Done?The process of getting a dental crown historically involved two visits. Today, most cases are able to be completed within a couple hours. Dental restorations are important for treating damaged or decayed teeth. These treatments help us to protect teeth that have suffered serious issues, restoring their health and their normal functions. A common restoration for teeth affected by more significant damage is a crown. While effective, the fact that crowns typically take two appointments can be problematic. At Lakeview Dental Center, we can provide ceramic crowns in just one appointment with our in office mill. The Issue with Two AppointmentsThe standard crown procedure requires two separate appointments. While it might not seem like all that big of a deal, there are some significant disadvantages to this. One of the biggest drawbacks is the fact that you have to wear a temporary crown. This crown is meant to protect the tooth until your actual crown is done. However, it may not always be effective. It can come loose or fall out. When this happens, the prepared tooth is at risk for damage and bacterial invasion. Another significant drawback is the fact that you need to schedule two different appointments. Your schedule is already busy enough. Having to schedule two appointments can interfere with your normal life. Moreover, if the crown needs to go back to the lab, you will need to schedule yet another appointment.
