The Complete Dental Crown Procedure Explained

Understanding what to expect during a dental crown procedure can help ease any anxiety and prepare you for the journey to a healthier, stronger smile. At Implant Center of Coral Springs, we are committed to ensuring our patients are fully informed and comfortable every step of the way. This guide walks you through the entire dental crown procedure, from consultation to aftercare.

Step 1: Initial Consultation and Examination

Your journey to a new dental crown begins with a comprehensive consultation and examination at our Coral Springs practice. Our experienced dentists will assess the condition of your tooth, discuss your options, and answer any questions you may have. This is a crucial step to ensure a dental crown is the right solution for you.

Step 2: Preparing the Tooth

Once it’s determined that a dental crown is the best option, the next step is to prepare the tooth. This involves removing any decay and reshaping the tooth to ensure a proper fit for the crown. Local anesthesia will be administered to ensure you are comfortable and pain-free during the procedure.

Step 3: Taking Impressions

After the tooth is prepared, an impression of your tooth will be taken. This impression is crucial as it ensures that your new crown will fit seamlessly with your existing teeth. The impression is sent to a dental lab where your custom crown will be crafted.

Step 4: Placing a Temporary Crown

While your custom crown is being created, a temporary crown will be placed to protect your tooth and maintain its function. This temporary crown will be worn until your next appointment when your permanent crown is ready to be placed.

Step 5: Fitting the Permanent Crown

Once your custom crown is ready, you will return to Implant Center of Coral Springs for the final placement. The temporary crown will be removed, and the permanent crown will be carefully fitted and adjusted to ensure a perfect fit and comfortable bite. The crown is then securely cemented in place, restoring the strength and appearance of your tooth.

Step 6: Aftercare and Follow-Up

After your crown is placed, we will provide you with all the information you need to care for your new crown, ensuring its longevity. Proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups at Implant Center of Coral Springs are essential to maintain the health of your crown and surrounding teeth.
