Crowns
A crown (cap) is a restoration that is placed on teeth
that have lost a lot of their structure. There are many
different types of crowns, full porcelain, porcelain
fused to metal, full metal crowns... Your dentist will
explain the advantage and disadvantage of each kind for
you
The
process of making a crown includes many steps that
start in our office
with preparing the teeth and taking impressions from the
tooth/teeth involved. Then a temporary crown or bridge
is placed on your teeth.
The impressions are sent to the lab. In the lab a mold
of the teeth is poured and the work begins.
There are multiple steps and different technicians work
on the mold to fabricate a crown or bridge. The
completed work is sent back to the office and after
necessary checks and adjustments it is cemented onto
your teeth.
