Our experienced dentists at Clearwater Dental make getting a dental crown comfortable and straightforward. The process typically requires two appointments spaced about two weeks apart.
Steps for Getting a Dental Crown
Here’s what you can expect:
- Initial Consultation — Your restoration begins with a thorough examination and discussion of your needs. We'll evaluate your oral health, take digital images, and explain all your treatment options.
- Treatment Planning — Once we determine the best solution, we create a detailed treatment plan. We use digital technology to ensure precise measurements and an optimal fit.
- Tooth Preparation — We carefully prepare your teeth while keeping you comfortable. Our digital impression system eliminates the need for messy traditional molds.
- Temporary Restoration — While our trusted custom dental lab prepares your permanent restoration, we'll place a temporary crown to protect your teeth.
- Final Crown— When your custom restoration arrives, we'll ensure it fits perfectly and matches your natural teeth before permanently cementing it in place.
Dental crowns last 10-15 years or longer with proper care and maintenance. The lifespan of your restoration depends on factors like oral hygiene, bite forces, and habits. During regular checkups, we'll monitor your restoration to ensure it continues to serve you well.
