What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is essentially a shield for your broken tooth. When dental damage is severe, your tooth is at risk of shattering under additional pressure or becoming infected due to bacteria accumulation. Still, tooth extraction is not recommended unless it’s impossible to salvage a pearly white. So, to protect your tooth from further breakage and from invasive bacteria, Dr. Rakowsky will completely cover it with a cap-like restoration – in other words, a dental crown!
The Process of Getting a Dental Crown
It’s not always the best idea to simply place a crown over a broken tooth right away. Oftentimes, it’s necessary to first reshape the tooth to eliminate any jagged edges and ensure the crown will fit properly. Rest assured; we’ll administer a local anesthetic before beginning this part of the treatment process.
It will take some time for our partners at the dental lab to finish customizing your crown. We’ll provide you with a temporary one that will keep your tooth safe while you wait. Once the top-notch technicians are satisfied with the fit and cosmetic appeal of your crown, they’ll send it to our office so Dr. Rakowsky can place it himself.
Benefits of Getting a Dental Crown
A dental crown will help preserve the remaining natural structure of your broken tooth, preventing you from needing a complicated extraction. It will also protect your overall oral health by stopping bacteria from getting into the nooks and crannies left behind by the damage. Since Dr. Rakowsky uses tooth-colored materials and works closely with a quality dental lab, no one will be able to tell the difference between your crown and natural teeth. By the end of your treatment, you’ll have a perfectly seamless smile!
