The first step is an evaluation of the tooth. If broken or damaged, your Mesquite dentist will likely talk to you about a dental crown.
The next step is impressions of the tooth so we can fit you with a custom crown. Your dentist then prepares the tooth, etching away old filling material and shaping it to place a temporary.
In a week or two, you come in, and we cement your new restoration over the tooth.
Reasons You Might Want or Need a Dental Crown
- A broken or damaged tooth
- Root canal-treated tooth
- Cosmetically flawed tooth
We also use dental crowns to anchor artificial teeth to healthy natural teeth in bridgework. And crowns cap dental implant abutments to stand in for a lost tooth.
After Tooth Crown Placement
Your dentist or a member of our team will talk to you about how to best care for your restoration. Typically, brushing, flossing, and regular dental care are all that are required!
