Dental crowns in Winston Salem, NC, are quality tooth covers customized to look like your untreated teeth. They offer a variety of practical and necessary purposes across dentistry.
Dental Crown Procedure
The procedure varies depending on the reason for your crowning. In most cases, capping a tooth with a dental crown involves preparing it by removing old filling material (which can harbor decay), removing any decay and smoothly reducing it to remove jagged bits of enamel. After this, the crown is impressed, and a temporary shell crown is seated, until the final crown can be delivered at the next appointment.
Dental Crown Purpose
A dental crown covers a prepared tooth usually to the gumline, protecting and restoring it. It also conceals cosmetic issues and tops a dental implant post after healing. Additionally, two dental crowns may anchor a dental bridge to healthy teeth.
You care for your crown by adopting an excellent oral care routine at home and visiting your dentist every three to six months for checkups and teeth cleanings.
