When a person has a damaged tooth that is in danger of necrosis, the dentist will first consider attempting to cover it with a crown to prevent further damage from occurring. Teeth that are damaged, malformed, or permanently stained can be fully covered by Dental Crowns in Aurora. A crown not only makes a tooth much stronger and less likely to be damaged, but it also makes the tooth look more attractive. Through a simple procedure, a person can have their tooth protected for up to twenty years, depending on the type put in place and how it is cared for.
A dental crown is put in place while the patient is under local anesthetic. This is important so no pain is felt and the procedure can be carried out safely. The dentist will first need to prepare the tooth to ensure it will be able to fit in perfectly inside the dental crown. The shaping process makes the tooth smaller by removing any overly damaged tooth tissue so the tooth is rounder and will allow for a perfect fit.
When the tooth is ready, the dentist will make an impression of its new shape and the surrounding teeth so the dental implant can be created in the lab. The implant can be made to perfectly match the color of the surrounding teeth for a natural looking fix. Some dental offices have on-site dental labs so a person can have their dental crown created on the very same day as their tooth is prepared. If a dental lab is off-site, the patient will have a temporary plastic crown put in place and will come back for a second appointment to have their permanent crown placed.
Dental crowns can be placed over any teeth in the mouth and can be used for people of all ages. If you are interested in Dental Crowns Aurora, you can look at more info by visiting our website.
