Crowns are a common restorative option that the doctors and staff of Fullerton dental have used to help save many teeth. Crowns are ideal for teeth with a significant amount of decay or that have been chipped. A crown fits over the damaged tooth like a little cap and covers it completely, acting as a replacement. The safe and non-invasive procedure of installing a crown can be completed in as little as two appointments.
The process begins with preparing the tooth by removing any decay, and to ensure a great fit for the crown your dentist may need to contour the tooth that remains. When the tooth has been prepared, an impression of the mouth is taken and sent to a dental laboratory for the custom product to be fabricated. Ask us about temporary options to wear while your new crown is being made. Once your custom crown is made, the crown will be cemented into place by your dentist at a second appointment.
