Do you know what is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is also known as a Cap.  It is a tooth-shaped cover that is fixed on a tooth.

Are you wondering about the Procedure Details of Dental crowns at Genesis Dentistry?

Our expert dentists offer dental crowns in two appointments, let’s read about the procedure of Dental crown placement.

First Visit

Stages for a dental crown procedure include:

• Tooth preparation: To prepare your tooth for a dental crown, our dentist will remove some of your natural enamel. This will create enough space for the cementation of your new crown. If the tooth is grossly carious or broken the dentist may also buildup the tooth with a filling material. Our dentist will create a strong foundation at this stage for your new Dental crown.

• In the next step the dentist will take impressions of your teeth. There are two ways of taking impressions one with a putty-like material and another with digital impressions with a scanner. After this step, the technician will use these impressions to create your custom dental crown.
• The making of dental crowns takes up to two or more weeks. So, while you wait for your final crown, our dentist will place a temporary dental crown which is made of resin or acrylic.

Second visit

In this step, the Dental lab completes the making of your new crown and sends it to the dental office. The dentist will then remove your temporary crown and check the shape, color, and fit of your new crown. Finally, the dentist will Bond the new crown to your tooth using a strong dental cement.

Do you want to know How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?

According to our expert dentists on average, dental crowns last between 5 and 15 years. The durability of the dental crown depends on the amount of “wear and tear”, oral hygiene practices, and your mouth-related habits such as grinding or clenching your teeth, biting fingernails, and many more. So be careful after restoring your smile with dental crowns.
