Consider Dental Crown Services to Restore Your Damaged Smile

If you have a worn-down or fractured tooth, cosmetically unappealing teeth, or are undergoing a root canal, Dr. Mary Taudel is likely to recommend a dental crown. Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps meant to mimic the form and appearance of your teeth. Crowns have been used for ages to revive damaged smiles, and today’s restorations are more durable, functional, and natural-looking than ever.

What to expect when getting a dental crown

The process starts with a detailed examination at your dentist’s office in Park Avenue Dental. Dr. Taudel physically inspects your tooth and uses dental x-ray imaging to establish if a crown is the best option. If it is, she uses local anesthesia to numb your mouth to reduce discomfort during treatment.

Next, we remove the decayed part of the tooth and then reshape and resize your tooth to create space for a crown. Then, we take your oral impressions to help the lab technician create a crown that fits right. Until your permanent crown is ready, we will install a temporary dental cap to protect your prepared tooth.

Once your crown is ready, you will book another appointment with Dr. Taudel. She will remove the temporary restoration and use dental cement to fit your new crown securely to your tooth. We carefully adjust your crown’s fit and appearance as the final step.
