Dental Crown Procedure
We take great care to meticulously follow a thorough process at our clinic to restore your tooth with precision and care when you receive a dental crown.
Dr. White starts by expertly preparing the tooth, eliminating any decay or damage, and reshaping it to fit a crown perfectly. Utilizing advanced technology, precise impressions of your tooth are taken to guarantee a flawless custom crown. While the permanent crown is being created, a temporary crown is placed to safeguard your tooth. The custom crown is then securely bonded to your tooth using top-quality dental cement for a durable, secure fit. We prioritize personalized comfort by assessing the fit and bite of your crown and making any needed adjustments for comfort and proper function.
We use a comprehensive process to improve the strength, appearance, and functionality of your tooth, enabling you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. We provide regular check-ups to ensure the durability and well-being of your crown.
Caring for Your Dental Crown
Here are some simple tips to help your dental crown last longer:
Remember to brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss daily to prevent plaque buildup and maintain good oral hygiene. Avoid chewing hard items like ice and nuts to prevent damage to your crown. If you grind or clench your teeth at night, consider wearing a custom mouthguard to protect your natural teeth and crown. Don't forget to schedule regular check-ups at our practice for dental cleanings and check-ups to keep your crown in top condition. Be mindful of sticky or chewy foods that can loosen or damage your crown. If you experience sensitivity, pain, or if your crown feels loose, contact us at Allen Dental Lounge at (469) 663-0223 for an evaluation and necessary adjustments.
In order to keep your dental crown in good condition and ensure a healthy smile for longer, it is crucial to follow these guidelines and maintain good dental hygiene consistently.
