What is a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns are small, custom-crafted caps that are designed to fit over the visible biting surface of a tooth, or the part that rests above the gumline. They can be crafted from a variety of materials, but at Peak Dental Care, we opt for durable, natural-looking ones like Emax, zirconia, and porcelain fused to metal.
We typically recommend dental crowns in Pea Ridge in the following situations:
- A tooth is decayed or damaged beyond repair.
- A tooth has received root canal treatment.
- A tooth is severely misshapen.
The Dental Crown Process
The process of getting a dental crown typically takes place over the course of two appointments at our office. First, Dr. Baioni will prepare the affected tooth by removing a small outer layer of it. This will allow the restoration to lay flush with the surrounding teeth when it’s cemented in place. Our team will capture impressions of your tooth that our off-site dental laboratory will then use to craft the restoration. Before you leave, we’ll secure a temporary crown over your prepared tooth.
As soon as we receive your permanent crown, we’ll have you come back in to remove the temporary and make sure the fit and shade of the final restoration is perfect. Dr. Baioni will then cement the permanent crown atop your tooth.
