What does the Dental Crown procedure entail?
The dental crown procedure is one of the least invasive cosmetic dentistry procedures available. First, the tooth is filed to create space for the crown. Next, an impression of the tooth is made and sent to a laboratory, which creates the crown. While the crown is being created, a temporary crown is provided to protect your tooth from further damage. After two to three weeks, you return and have the crown bonded to your tooth. What’s the lifespan of a Dental Crown? Dental Crowns typically last approximately ten years. However, the lifespan is dependent on the stresses it endures and the maintenance provided. Tips for increasing the longevity of a dental crown include: • Maintaining good oral hygiene • Brushing with a soft-bristled toothbrush • Paying specific care to minimize plaque buildup around the crown • Not chewing on inedible objects Your smile is important to us and we pride ourselves in both helping our patients understand and achieve their cosmetic desires.
