What happens during the placement of tooth crowns by a Charleston area dentist?

Dental crowns, also referred to as “tooth crowns,” or “caps” are porcelain restorations that are custom-made for a dentist to place over weakened natural teeth to protect and strengthen them. Crowns can be used in a myriad of situations. Dr. Greenberg of Mouth Carolina Dentistry, PA may suggest dental crowns for Charleston patients who need to protect the enamel of their natural teeth, or for those who are restoring dental implants. Patients who have had root canal therapy or who have had very large fillings placed may benefit from the placement of dental crowns, as well as those who have had severe breakage occur to the teeth in the back of the mouth.

After patients have had their initial consultation and evaluation with
Dr. Greenberg to determine the need for tooth crowns, the first appointment is scheduled for the preparation of the tooth. In order to ensure a tight fit, some of the enamel of the natural tooth may need to be removed. Then, impressions are made of the dental arch, and a temporary crown is placed. The impressions are sent to an outside laboratory. This location will create the custom crown and send it to Dr. Greenberg within one to two weeks. The patient comes back to the dental office for the final placement, in which the temporary crown is removed and the permanent crown is bonded over the natural tooth.
