What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made, tooth-shaped cap that covers a damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and function. Our team at Suite 905 often recommends dental crown procedures to protect teeth that have suffered extensive decay or fractures, strengthen teeth after more intensive treatments, and restore worn-down or misshapen teeth. Made from porcelain, ceramic, or other materials, tooth crowns allow patients to preserve and protect damaged teeth while maintaining a natural appearance and proper bite alignment. Learn more about the benefits of dental crowns and take a step toward preserving your smile by scheduling a consultation with Dr. Svetlana Orit Faradjewa or Dr. Sheila Faradjewa at our practice in New York, NY.
How Does a Dental Crown Procedure Work?
The process of getting a dental crown usually takes two visits to our office. During your first visit, we'll examine your mouth and capture digital x-rays to assess your tooth's condition. If the tooth is badly damaged or has had a root canal, a build-up filling may be needed to create enough structure to support the crown. If the tooth is still intact but weakened, we'll trim away part of the enamel to make room so your crown fits comfortably. Once the tooth is ready, we'll take impressions and cap it with a temporary dental crown to protect it while your permanent restoration is prepared. When your custom tooth crown is ready, we'll schedule a follow-up appointment at our New York, NY office where we'll place the permanent crown and ensure it fits properly. Before you leave, we'll talk about how you can take care of your dental crown to prolong its life. With proper care, including brushing, flossing, and routine dental cleanings, a well-made crown can last for 10 – 15 years or even longer.
