There are several reasons someone may need a crown placed over their tooth. Whether because of damage from an injury, decay or infection, crowns are needed to protect a tooth when it is no longer stable. If you are in need of a crown, you do not want to have to wait or a week or more to have it put in place. Through Same Day Crownks in Burban, you can have your crown made right in the office and put in place on the same visit, saving you time and aggravation.
To make a crown for your tooth, a bite impression will be created. This ensures the crown is the perfect size and shape, so it completely covers your tooth and protects it all the way to the gum line. Crowns can be placed on any tooth, but are most commonly placed on molars. After the impression is made, the information will be sent to the lab, where your crown will be created and shaped by a special computer program. Instead of having to wait for the crown to come back from an off-site dental lab, you can have it made the very same day.
To prepare your tooth for your new crown, the dentist will gently remove any damaged areas and shape the tooth into a peg shape. This allows the tooth to become small enough to be able to slip inside the crown, so it will offer a snug fit. Once the crown is in place, the dentist will work to make sure it fits perfectly, before adhering it in place permanently.
Crowns can last for many years and will work to protect your tooth from further damage. They also make your smile look more attractive. Crowns can help to seal off your tooth and protect it from being lost. To learn whether or not a crown can benefit your damaged tooth, contact the office of Petreikis L D DDS.
