At Anderson Family Dentistry, we are dedicated to restoring and enhancing the strength, appearance and functionality of your teeth with high-quality dental crowns. Dental crowns, often simply called “teeth caps,” are custom-fitted covering that encases the entire tooth surface, restoring it to its original shape and size. Crowns are an ideal solution for teeth that have been broken, weakened by decay or have significant fillings, providing a durable protective layer and improving the overall appearance of your smile.
The Dental Crown Process
The procedure for placing a crown typically involves two visits to our office. During the first visit, the tooth is carefully prepared by removing any decay and shaping the surface to properly fit the crown. An impression is then taken to create a detailed model of your tooth, which is used to craft your custom crown, ensuring a perfect fit and bite alignment. A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while your permanent crown is being made. On your second visit, the temporary crown is removed, and your new crown is carefully fitted, adjusted, and then cemented into place for a long-lasting, beautiful finish.
