Dental Crown

Dental crowns are heavily relied upon as a restorative solution. They can help strengthen any tooth that has suffered from damage brought on by a fracture, chip, or simply erosion. For patients who want to know more about dental crowns, the team at Bonnie & Simone is here to assist!


Same-Day Crown Placement Procedure

Placing a crown can now be completed in a single appointment thanks to advanced technology. This allows for a quick and efficient process while ensuring the tooth and surrounding tissue are properly prepared and restored in one visit.

During the appointment, the site will be prepared by removing all decayed and diseased portions of the tooth. For some patients, additional procedures may be needed to ensure proper placement. After the preparation, the crown is designed, fabricated, and placed all within the same day.

The Importance of Dental Crowns

In many cases, a crown can save the tooth from being extracted. This is important because all efforts are made to save the tooth, no matter how bad the damage might be. Once a tooth is extracted, it can create another set of problems that must be dealt with. A crown can restore the lost portion of a tooth, returning it to its full functionality.

What are the Benefits of Dental Crowns?

Any patient suffering from periodontal disease has likely been dealing with extensive tooth decay and disease for some time. They will ultimately lose multiple teeth and compromise the overall health of the oral cavity.

When patients lose teeth, they also lose the supportive structure behind the lips and cheeks, which causes them to sag inward into the oral cavity. When this occurs, the patient's appearance can drastically change. Crowns can also be used following a root canal procedure to seal the interior of the tooth off further from any decay or disease.

Why are Porcelain Crowns the Best?

Crowns are typically made from either porcelain or ceramic, but dental professionals more frequently choose those made of porcelain for many reasons. They give the patient the most natural feel when chewing and maintain their resiliency for years. They can replace the entire visible portion of the tooth from the biting surface to the gum line.

The Crown Placement Procedure

Placing a crown takes more than one appointment. This ensures that through each placement stage, the tooth and surrounding tissue have had a chance to properly heal before moving on to the next step.

Crown Longevity

Patients can help ensure crowns last as long as possible by continuing their diligent brushing and flossing routine twice daily. They should also avoid acidic drinks and foods that can damage their teeth and crowns, which would warrant additional procedures to correct.
