The Dental Crown Procedure
Depending on the severity of the tooth needing the dental crown, we will determine the length of the tooth crown process. When your Draper, UT dentist determines that you need a tooth crown, the consultation will begin with digital x-rays to determine the stage of your tooth and how complex the issue is. The dentist will then need to file down the original tooth to make room for the tooth crown. An anesthetic will be given to you to help you avoid any pain that could be felt.
Impressions of your teeth will be made that will be used to create your new crown. We will give you a temporary crown while you wait. The new tooth crown will be cemented into your mouth when it is ready, completely covering the decayed or damaged tooth. While the crown is artificial, it is still essential to practice good oral hygiene. Taking care of your dental crown like a normal tooth will allow it to last longer and help you avoid future issues.
