Crowns

If our Sunnyvale dentist analyzes your teeth and says you can benefit from a crown, don’t fret.  The crown procedure is nothing to fear.  The dentist will examine the tooth in question, preparing it for the addition of the crown using x-rays and/or molds.  The tooth is subsequently filed down.  A portion of the outer layer is then removed.  An impression of the tooth is made after light trimming.  The dentist might also take an impression of the adjacent teeth.  The temporary crown is added to the tooth for protection.  The impression of the tooth is sent to a lab for the creation of a crown.  Once the crown arrives, the stage is set for the cementing of the crown to the tooth. 

If the dentist determines a same-day procedure is possible, the use of a temporary crown is unnecessary.  Continue to brush and floss your tooth after the crown is applied and it will look and function similar to a natural tooth.  If you live in the greater Sunnyvale, CA area and have one or several damaged or stained teeth, you are a candidate for crowns available through Sunnyvale Smile Care .  Give our Sunnyvale dentist a call today at 408-730-4064 to schedule an appointment.
