Solving Dental Dilemmas- Dental Crowns
/
My kingdom for a crown or my tooth has lost its head and needs to be crowned. Life happens and teeth can come upon hard times and fall apart. Due to clenching, grinding or long ago placed dental fillings your teeth can become tired and break apart.
When that happens you’ll find yourself in a dental office with a dental problem that needs resolving. If your teeth need to be crowned you might ask what a dental crown is. A dental crown is a strong, natural-looking permanent tooth restoration that covers the top of your damaged tooth.
Why might you need a crown? A broken tooth with decay or possibly an ill-fitting existing crown in your mouth. You have a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy and will now become brittle leading to fracture. You have a small or misshapen tooth or your tooth is interfering with your bite.
The procedure involves preparing your tooth to receive the lab created crown which is done under local anesthesia so you’ll be comfortable during the procedure. An impression is taken of your tooth and sent to the cosmetic lab we use in Beverly Hills, California. During the time the permanent crown is being made we will fit you with a temporary crown. Then before you know it your new crown will arrive and be cemented onto your tooth.
There are multiple types of crowns we can perform for you. Each has their pros and cons and will be discussed in full before treatment. We also will explain all costs involved and any insurance reimbursement to allow you to make an educated decision.
