​Crowns – Restorative Dentistry
A crown is a long lasting covering that fits over the original tooth that is deteriorated, chipped, treated with a root canal, or cracked. Crowns are made of a many different kinds of materials such as porcelain, gold, acrylic resin or a mix of all of them. Porcelain generally has the most natural appearance, keep in mind it is the less durable.

The treatment/procedure plan for receiving a crown involves:
  1. First, numbing the tooth to remove the decay either in or around it.
  2. Re-carving the tooth for the desired fit for the crown
  3. Making an impression of your teeth so your crown can fit onto to the patients tooth perfectly. This can take up to one to two weeks.
  4. Creating a non-permanent crown out of acrylic resin, then fitting it on the tooth during the period when the custom-made permanent crown is being made.
  5. Removing the temporary crown and fitting the permanent one onto the tooth (which was received by the lab).
  6. After making sure the crown has the desired look and fit, the dentist cements it into place.

This process generally consists of a minimum of 2 visits over a three week period. Once the procedure is done, try avoiding any periodontal diseases by keeping a proper dental hygiene, including daily brushing and flossing, is required to maintain healthy, bacteria-free teeth, gums and crowns. Given proper care, your crowns can last a lifetime.
