Discover the Transformative Power of Dental Crowns
What Can You Expect During a Dental Crown Appointment?
Dental crown placement typically requires two visits. When you visit our dental clinic for a dental crown in Gatlinburg and nearby areas you will go through the following steps:
Tooth preparation
The dentist will examine the tooth, take X-rays, fill its surface if needed, and then trim it to create space for the crown.
Dental impressions
The dentist will then make a mold of the prepared tooth and the adjacent teeth to guide the creation of the crown.
Crown placement
A temporary crown will be placed on the prepared tooth if needed, and your final crown will be fitted after a few days during your next visit.
When Might You Need a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns can be used for various purposes which include:
- Holding a broken tooth together
- Protecting and supporting a cracked tooth
- Anchoring a dental bridge
- Covering a severely stained or discolored tooth
- Completing a dental implant
- Strengthening a root canal-treated tooth
What are the Benefits of Dental Crowns?
A key benefit of dental crowns is their ability to preserve a natural tooth. Moreover, getting dental crowns for decayed or weakened teeth also has other benefits like:
- Preventing further wearing of tooth
- Enhancing aesthetic appeal
- Restoring chewing efficiency and speech
