Also called \u201ccaps,\u201d these devices can be made from porcelain, zirconia, gold, or alloy, and they can protect compromised teeth from further damage so that they can last much longer than they would otherwise. Here\u2019s a brief guide to how dentists prepare teeth for dental crowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do Dental Crowns Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A dental crown is a prosthetic appliance designed to replace lost dental structure so that a tooth can function normally after severe injury or infection. Each one is customized to fit its patient\u2019s tooth perfectly so that it can sit comfortably and work well for many years to come, and receiving one can bring a range of important benefits such as restoring chewing ability, improving the smile\u2019s appearance, and preventing tooth loss. Placing one typically requires two appointments, and a dental crown can last for up to fifteen years or more if it receives excellent care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is the First Part of Receiving a Dental Crown Like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The process of getting a dental crown typically begins with your dentist examining your mouth and determining that placing one of these appliances is the best way to preserve your oral health. You\u2019ll then be scheduled for an appointment to have your tooth prepared for the device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you take your seat in your dentist\u2019s chair for your first appointment, your dentist will begin the process by administering a local anesthetic to ensure that you remain comfortable, and you may also receive a sedation treatment if necessary. Then, your dentist will use a special tool to remove any damaged or decayed material from your tooth. After the tooth has been reshaped, they will cement a temporary crown in place, make any necessary adjustments, and send you on your way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Receiving My Permanent Crown Like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After your first appointment, a skilled technician will manufacture your permanent crown using detailed measurements of your teeth and mouth, and this appliance should arrive at your dentist\u2019s office about two weeks later. You\u2019ll then come in to have your temporary crown removed and your permanent one fixed in place. After any final adjustments, you\u2019ll be ready to greet friends, family, and strangers with your newly restored smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Receiving a dental crown is a minimally invasive process that can deliver considerable benefits. If your dentist recommends getting one, you can rest assured that doing so is in your best interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Nicholas Brong earned his dental doctorate at the University of California in San Francisco and completed a nine-week externship involving examinations, restorations, extractions, and emergency care for both adult and pediatric patients.
