Good health and a positive image start with a bright, attractive smile. If you damage a tooth or it suffers a large amount of decay, you might require a crown. Crowns can be made of gold, porcelain, or porcelain baked to precious metal. They completely cover the tooth and leave it looking healthy and natural. Crowns are a worthwhile investment in your smile and health of the tooth.. Affordable dental crowns are available at the San Bruno Center for Dental Medicine.
When you realize that you may need a crown to have a damaged tooth repaired, you must select a competent dentist to be sure the work is done properly. While price is a consideration, don’t make the mistake of limiting your comparison to cost alone – the quality of the dentist even more important. You need the best dentist at a fair price. Other factors to consider are the quality of materials used, the quality of the dental lab, does the Dr. stand behind their work.
Once you have chosen a dentist, you need to make an appointment. It usually takes two visits to complete the work. After it has been determined that you require a crown, the tooth will be prepared, removing any cavity and damaged tooth structure. The root of the tooth will be evaluated to make sure it has not been compromised. An exposed root can cause terrible pain. Dr. Parker takes steps during the crown preparation to make sure the tooth is as comfortable as possible during and after the procedure. If the tooth requires a root canal, Dr. Parker will discuss that issue with you. Together, you will make the decision that will be best for you and the health of the tooth.
An impression is taken and sent to an outstanding U.S. lab where your crown will be precisely constructed. A custom tooth colored temporary crown protects the tooth, meanwhile. When the crown comes back from the lab, you will come in for your second appointment. The temporary crown will be removed, the exposed tooth cleaned, and crown seated with a dental luting cement .Dr. Parker will work with you to contour the tooth, so it feels comfortable. Your new tooth should serve you for many years to come with normal brushing and flossing.
