What is a Dental Crown?

In order to reinforce weak or decaying teeth, dental crowns are dependable covers that are put over the tooth structure. They are often used to keep a dental bridge in place, protect a tooth from further damage, heal a tooth after a root canal treatment, or cover a dental implant. These restorations, which are made of porcelain, are designed to strengthen your teeth structurally and aesthetically while fitting easily over your enamel and blending in with neighboring teeth.

Although composite material is often used to create dental crowns, our cosmetic dentists have discovered that porcelain can provide longer-lasting strength in addition to a natural-looking beauty that closely matches tooth enamel. Dental crowns are essential protection for a better bite and a more attractive smile, depending on your requirements.

What happens when you require a crown?

A crown operation often necessitates two appointments. During your initial appointment, numerous very highly accurate molds (or impressions) will be taken, which will be used to make your custom crown. Mold, a paste like material, will also be used to make a temporary crown that will be placed on your tooth until your new crown is created by our in-house dental laboratory.

While the tooth is numb, your dentist at Excellent Smile Turkey will prepare it by removing decay and contouring the surface to suit the crown appropriately. Following completion of these details, your temporary crown will be cemented in place and your bite will be tested to ensure appropriate biting.

Your temporary crown will be removed during your second appointment, the tooth will be cleaned, and your new crown will be carefully placed temporarily with temporary cement to ensure proper spacing and bite.

In your final appointment, your temporary crown will be taken off again, the tooth will be cleaned, and your new crown will be put on carefully to make sure the spacing and bite are right. You will be given aftercare instructions and urged to inspect your new crown at frequent dental checkups at your local dentist.
