Dental Crowns: Restoring Your Teeth with Precision
Dental crowns play a crucial role in restorative dentistry at Sonrise Dental. These custom-made caps are designed to cover a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its strength, functionality, and aesthetics.
What Are Dental Crowns and When Are They Needed?
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps placed over a tooth to restore its size, shape, and strength. They are typically recommended for:
- Protecting a weak tooth from breaking.
- Restoring a broken or severely worn tooth.
- Covering and supporting a tooth with a large filling.
- Holding a dental bridge in place.
- Covering misshapen or severely discolored teeth.
- Covering a dental implant.
What Is the Process for Getting a Dental Crown?
Getting a dental crown usually involves:
- Preparing the tooth, which may include reshaping to properly fit the crown.
- Taking an impression or digital scan of your tooth to custom-make the crown.
- Placing a temporary crown while the permanent one is being made.
- Once ready, the permanent crown is placed and adjusted for a perfect fit.
How Do You Care for Your Dental Crowns?
Caring for your dental crowns involves:
- Maintaining good oral hygiene with regular brushing and flossing.
- Avoiding hard foods that could damage the crown.
- Regular dental check-ups to monitor the condition of the crown.
