We start by filing down the tooth that is damaged or compromised. If there is a filling in the tooth, it will be removed at this time. The final result is a small abutment for the new crown to sit on. Impressions are then taken and used to create a new ceramic or porcelain crown for you. Once the crown is made, we’ll place it on top of the abutment so that it cannot move or shift. We then adjust the fit and bite of the new crown so that it’s as comfortable as possible for you. Your new crown can last for years without needing special treatment or care.
If you think you may need a crown, call our practice today and one of our staff members will be happy to help you out.
