What are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns in Woodinville are customized caps that are made to fit over the visible portion of your tooth that lies above the gumline. It acts to repair the shape, size, and overall structure of a damaged tooth, decreasing any discomfort and protecting it from further harm. With a dental crown, you can also reduce any sensitivity caused by vulnerable inner portions of your tooth.
At Oasis Family Dentistry, we can make dental crowns from several different materials, but the most popular choice for patients is ceramic or porcelain. These materials can be customized to mimic the natural color of enamel and resist staining, allowing them to flawlessly blend in with the rest of your mouth.
Who Needs Dental Crowns?
Many people aren’t aware of how versatile dental crowns are. They can treat a variety of problems and serve purposes including:
- Protecting and strengthening severely decayed teeth that can’t be restored with a simple filling.
- Forced trauma, such as a cracked or broken tooth, can be restored and kept healthy with a dental crown.
- After root canal therapy, we typically top off the treated tooth with a dental crown to keep harmful oral bacteria out and protect the remaining tooth structure.
- Fixed bridges are anchored with two dental crowns and replace missing teeth.
What’s the Process of Getting a Crown?
The process of getting a dental crown typically takes place over two appointments. It can be broken down into the following timeline:
- Your tooth will be prepared by removing a small layer of the enamel to accommodate the thickness of the dental crown.
- Impressions of your prepared tooth will be taken in order to make a model for your permanent dental crown.
- A temporary crown will be placed over your prepared tooth as we wait for your permanent one to arrive at our office.
- Once your crown arrives from our dental laboratory, we’ll cement it to your tooth and make any final adjustments.
If you have any questions about getting a dental crown, your dentist in Woodinville, Dr. Tim Hung, will be more than happy to answer them during your consultation.
