Dental crowns have a lifespan of 5 to 15 years.
Dr. Parikh will examine your teeth to look for signs of decay that need to be removed and to look for oral health problems that need to be treated. She will determine if you’re a good candidate for crowns depending on the condition of your tooth.
After administering a local anesthetic to numb the mouth, your tooth will be filed and shaped to fit into a dental crown.
After trimming the tooth, impressions and photographs will be taken of your tooth and sent to a dental lab. We will also match the shade of your tooth to the shade of your crown using a shade guide.
A dental lab will fabricate a custom dental crown for you, using your impressions as a mold to base them on. Using the shade we have provided them with, they will color match your crown to your natural teeth. Fabrication can take several weeks.
When fabrication is finished, the lab will send your crown to us. We’ll call you back for a fitting and if no changes need to be made, your crown can be cemented to your tooth and polished.
A lab-made crown is created with the use of digital or physical impressions that are taken at the office and sent to a dental lab that specializes in fabricating tooth restorations.
This will fit the exact parameters of your tooth and match the natural shade of your teeth if you are looking for a tooth-colored crown. These crowns can be fabricated from various materials, including metal, porcelain, zirconia, or porcelain-fused-to-metal.
After assessing the structure and issues with your tooth and discussing your goals, we can make a recommendation for the best crown materials that will fit your needs. This process is completed in 2 appointments with crown fabrication taking up to 6 weeks.
Again, I am the most anxious person when it comes to going to the dentist but, no more! With my second trip there for a crown procedure I felt so welcomed and at home. Baybreeze Dental is truly where you want to go for any procedure you need. Very comfortable atmosphere and no anxiety. Thanks Dr. P!
Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns combine the best in aesthetics and durability.
