Why You Shouldn’t Fear Getting Dental Crowns

How Painful Is It?

The procedure for getting a dental crown is painless and secure. Before measuring the crown on your teeth during your initial visit, the dentist will use anesthetics to numb your mouth. After the numbing wears off, you might experience minor mouth soreness, but this will pass.

Dental Crown Types

The following materials can be used to create dental crowns:

Porcelain
Ceramic
Metal
Zirconia
Resin

What Procedures Must Be Followed to Get a Dental Crown?

There are typically three steps involved in getting a dental crown. The initial step is the assessment phase, during which the dentist examines your teeth and discusses your options. As they prepare your permanent dental crowns, your dentist will mold your tooth in the second step and fit it with a temporary crown. The temporary crowns will then be removed to make room for the placement of the new crowns.

Why Consider Getting Dental Crowns

Consider these factors when deciding whether to choose a dental crown:

To prevent tooth decay in teeth.
Replace extracted tooth.
Aids in the recovery of teeth after a root canal.
Save a tooth that is severely broken.
To safeguard recently placed dental implants.
