Dental crown
What is
Is an artificial restoration that fits over the remaining part of a prepared tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape of a natural tooth.
Before the treatment
The dentist will prepare the tooth to the ideal shape for the crown. This will involve removing most of the outer surface, and leaving a strong inner core. The amount of the tooth removed will be
the same as the thickness of the crown.
Once the tooth is shaped, the dentist will take an impression (mould) of the prepared tooth, one of the opposite jaw and possibly another to mark the way you bite together.
The impressions will then be given to the dental technician, along with an appropriate shade and other information needed for the crown to be made.
The intervention
About a week after the first visit, set the final crown.
When you and your dentist is happy with the fit and appearance of the new crown it will be fixed in place with
special dental cement or adhesive. The cement forms a seal to hold the crown in place.
No side effects.
Results
The end result is a new tooth that presents no
difference from the rest.
Typically, the patient kept the crown for life.
