“Looks like you’re going to need a crown.” What is going through your mind when your dentist says this to you? Maybe how you finally found time to visit your dentist for your regular checkup and cleaning, and now you imagine all the follow-up visits you need to save your tooth. Before you panic, your Seattle dentist has good news for you. Using the latest dental technology, Dr. Kollia and Dr. Fu offer the convenience of CEREC®. Now you can get a dental crown in just one visit!
Why Do You Need a Dental Crown?
Your dentist has good reasons for recommending a dental crown procedure:
- Strengthening a tooth with a large filling or multiple fillings.
- Improving the appearance of misshapen teeth.
- Restoring the structural strength of a cracked, broken, or worn tooth.
- Fortifying a tooth from fracturing after a root canal.
Typically a crown requires multiple dental appointments. First, making an impression. Using traditional methods means keeping a messy, gooey material in your mouth for several minutes. If you have a strong gag relax, it may not be the most pleasant experience! Your dentist next sends your impression out to a dental lab to produce your crown. Then your next appointment (several weeks later), when your dentist replaces your temporary crown with the fabricated one and makes any adjustments necessary for size, shape, and color. When both the patient and dentist are satisfied with the fit, your crown is cemented in place.
