To start the procedure, your natural tooth will be prepared. This involves reducing the tooth size by reshaping it to allow adequate room for dental restoration. If any decayed tissues are present, they will be meticulously cleaned out.

 After the impaired tooth has been prepared, an impression will be taken that provides an exact mold for your dental crown. Your impression will be sent to our dental lab to fabricate the restoration. While choosing the shade of your crown, care is taken to match them with your existing natural teeth.

Meanwhile, a temporary crown will be attached to protect the prepared natural tooth until your customized crown is ready. The temporary crown will seal and safeguard the tooth, as well as restore its aesthetic look.

The temporary crown will be taken out during the subsequent appointment, and the new appliance will be fitted. The required adjustments will be made before permanently bonding them onto your natural tooth.

Dental crowns are one of the modest and most versatile restorations that enhance the aesthetics of your smile and mouth functions. They can be used to correct various oral conditions such as cracked, damaged, worn out, extremely weak, or overly spaced teeth.  At River Family Dentistry, we provide customized dental crowns to correct your tooth imperfections.
