Warren, MI area dentists explain the tooth crown procedure
The dental crown is an important tooth restoration that is used in both cosmetic and general dentistry to protect and improve the smile. These porcelain restorations are custom-made for Warren, MI area patients who want to protect their natural tooth structure with a strong and beautiful restoration that can provide more strength and durability to a tooth that may be weakened by trauma or procedures such as root canal (endodontic) therapy. The dentists of Laser Dental Associates will discuss with patients when dental crowns are appropriate.
With most dental practices, the process of receiving a dental crown can take several weeks. However, at Laser Dental Associates, we have invested in technology such as CEREC to give patients the ability to enjoy same-day restorations in our practice. CEREC crowns, veneers, bridges, inlays, and onlays are all available through Laser Dental Associates to save time, money, and energy.
The procedure for dental crowns in our practice is different because of our amazing dental technologies. Patients will have their tooth prepared with the removal of enamel to ensure a tight, precise fit. Then, digital impressions are made and sent to our CAD/CAM software, which sends the information to the milling machine. The machine mills out the restoration from a block of porcelain that is picked to match the color of the patient’s existing natural teeth. This ensures it blends in seamlessly with the rest of the smile. In about 15 minutes, the new restoration is done and is bonded into place during the same appointment. Patients leave the dental office with their brand new restoration and a new lease on life!
Dental crowns are used a lot at Laser Dental Associates for many different and unique reasons. An examination from one of our dental professionals can help determine if this restoration is best for one’s specific needs and desires. Dental crowns are commonly used on teeth that have been injured, broken, weakened, or have a cosmetic defect.
