What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is an appliance designed to mimic the shape and appearance of natural dental structure, and it is used to rebuild and protect teeth that have been damaged by infection or injury. Almost anyone can be a fantastic candidate for dental crowns, but we may need to perform restorative treatments to address gum disease or dental infections before you can qualify for the treatment. A dental crown that receives excellent care may last fifteen years or more before needing replacement.
The Dental Crown Process
Dental crowns are placed through a specialized process that ensures they are comfortable enough for regular use as well as visually pleasing. The first step to receiving a dental crown is to schedule a consultation at our Bozeman office so we can make sure it is the right solution for you and schedule you for preliminary treatments like gum disease therapy, root canals, or fillings if necessary. Then, we will schedule you for the first appointment of the placement process, which involves us painlessly removing the compromised structure from the tooth being treated, measuring your bite, and placing a temporary restoration so you can get used to wearing it. At Cottonwood Creek Dental, we use digital impression technology to ensure that our crowns are precisely manufactured for a comfortable and functional fit. It usually takes about two weeks for the skilled team at a trusted dental lab to craft your permanent crown, and you’ll come back to our office to have the device placed when it is ready.
