Crowns are fixed restorations used to strengthen or improve the shape of a tooth. Often a crown is indicated when your tooth is weakened due to a large cavity, failing existing restoration, trauma, root canal treatment, or even from being worn down. Other times, a tooth that is misshapen or esthetically compromised would benefit from coverage with a crown to make it blend more seamlessly with your smile.
At Bielozer Family Dental, we offer traditional crowns. Traditional crowns are completed in two visits and are indicated when the individual situation requires either the strongest possible materials or the detailed artistry of a laboratory technician. During the first visit, your tooth will be prepared, an impression will be taken, and you’ll leave with a temporary crown while your crown is being fabricated at the lab. At the second appointment, your crown will be tried in, adjusted if necessary, and then permanently cemented to your tooth.
