What is a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns get their name because they’re designed to fit atop natural teeth to provide them with added protection and support. Dr. Julian uses zirconia and EMAX, which are two materials that can be custom designed to look incredibly lifelike. In fact, in many cases, our patients aren’t able to tell which of their teeth received the crown.
With the ability to preserve previously damaged teeth, many patients who receive dental crowns in Mesa go on to enjoy their treated tooth for several decades. We typically recommend this restorative treatment for patients in the following situations:
- A tooth has been severely damaged
- A tooth has received root canal treatment
- A tooth has a large filling and needs some additional support and protection
Our team will let you know if a dental crown is necessary after conducting a thorough examination of your mouth and the tooth in question.
The Process of Getting a Dental Crown
The process of getting a lab-crafted dental crown typically takes place over the course of a few weeks and multiple visits to our office to make sure the fit and appearance is perfect. Dr. Julian will begin the procedure by preparing your tooth by removing a small portion of its enamel. This will allow the permanent crown to fit evenly atop the tooth, allowing it to lay flush with the surrounding teeth and create an even bite. Our team will then capture a digital impression that we will send off to our laboratory and place a temporary crown atop your tooth.
Once your permanent crown arrives at our office, we’ll call you back in to make sure it’s a perfect fit and shade, allowing it to blend in with your other teeth. We can then cement the crown atop your tooth to complete the process.
Our office also offers same-day dental crowns, which allows us to prepare the tooth and craft and place the crown all in a single visit.
The Benefits of Dental Crowns
Dental crowns offer a number of benefits, including the following:
- A Long Lifespan: Dental crowns can last up to 15 years with good dental hygiene.
- Improved Comfort: Damaged teeth can cause sensitivity and other uncomfortable side-effects that can be remedied with a crown.
- Natural-Looking Appearance: Customized to look like your natural teeth, dental crowns are virtually unnoticeable.
- Reliable Protection: In many cases, dental crowns allow our patients to preserve their natural dentition for decades longer.
