Crowns are a great option for restoring function and aesthetics to teeth that have a significant amount of decay or are chipped. A tooth with minor damage can be repaired with a crown before it reaches the point of needing to be extracted or replaced with an implant. At Chapel Street Dental, the safe and non-invasive procedure of installing a crown is typically completed in two appointments.
The process of fitting a patient with a custom crown begins with the dentist removing any decay from the damaged tooth. A crown fits over the tooth like a little cap, and to ensure a great fit for the crown, the dentist may need to contour the tooth that remains. When the tooth has been prepared, an impression of the mouth is taken and sent to a dental laboratory for the custom product to be fabricated. Once the custom crown is made, it is cemented into place by the dentist at a second appointment.
