Six steps to dental crown procedures
A dental crown is one of the most adaptable ways to improve and repair your smile. Crowns can restore broken teeth or enhance their look in various ways. At the office of Dr. Stephen Huber in Leawood, Kansas, patients can restore their smile after damage or decay using dental crowns. Dental crowns are “caps” fabricated from porcelain and bonded onto the top of a prepared tooth to strengthen it. They are best for those who want to avoid permanent extraction of damaged adult teeth. If you believe you are a good candidate for dental crowns, let’s look at the various steps throughout the process to understand better what to expect when you visit our office and begin the journey to smile restoration!
- Consultation appointment. Before deciding if a dental crown is right for you, you must consult Dr. Huber and his team to discuss your unique needs. Our team of professionals will examine your smile and make appropriate recommendations.
- Tooth preparation. Once you and your dental team have decided that a quality dental crown is the best option for your smile, the first step in the procedure will be to prepare the tooth. To guarantee a good fit for the crown, this entails removing any decay or damaged tooth structure and shaping the tooth.
- Impression. After your tooth has been prepared, impressions of your teeth are taken to create an exact mold for your new dental crown. This is done digitally, using digital scans of the mouth to convert the impression into our software on the computer for accuracy and precision.
- Crown fabrication. Your impressions are then sent to our CEREC machine to create a custom crown using high-quality materials. This process takes under 20 minutes as the crown is made right in our office while you wait!
- Final fitting and placement. Once your permanent dental crown is ready, you will enjoy the final fitting and placement. Dr. Huber and his team ensure that the finished crown fits properly and make any necessary adjustments before cementing it securely onto your tooth.
- Follow-up appointments. Attending follow-up appointments with Dr. Huber is important to ensure that everything is healing properly and to address any issues or concerns you have.
