If you’ve never needed a dental crown in the past, you may have questions about its helpfulness in modern dentistry to repair and restore damaged teeth. Our dentist at Richmond Dental Care have performed countless dental crowns and are here to provide that same care to you and your family too. With our dentists’ experience and attention to detail, you can be assured that your dental crown (sometimes referred to as a “cap”) will match the original shape, size, and colour of the tooth being restored.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
In addition to restoring the appearance of a damaged tooth, dental crowns from our dentists provide these added benefits:
- They improve biting and chewing capability
- They protect the tooth from additional damage
- They provide a durable solution to help retain a tooth
- They are considered a simple procedure to change the appearance of a tooth
Dental crowns can be made from various metals, porcelain crown, composite resin crown, and ceramics which will all affect their appearance and durability. When you visit Richmond Dental Care for your dental crown consultation, we’ll prepare a treatment plan that takes your crown’s needs and goals into consideration while also explaining other options that may be available to you.
For example, suppose you are interested in a dental crown to make cosmetic modifications to one or more teeth. In that case, our dentists will also discuss options such as dental veneers and tooth bonding to make corrections to misshapen teeth or severely discolored teeth.
Preparing for Your Crown Procedure
Your dental crown procedure will typically require two appointments with our cosmetic dentist in Richmond Hill, ON. These appointments can be scheduled at the same time we prepare your treatment plan. That way, you can schedule your appointments during times when it makes the most sense for your schedule. After your initial procedure, our dentists will provide you with a temporary crown until your permanent crown can be manufactured and placed a few weeks later. Your temporary crown will look, act, and feel like a natural tooth, as will your permanent crown.
