Crowns

Very often when a tooth requires significant restoration because of decay over most of the surface or an extremely large older restoration, a crown is placed to "cap it". When a tooth goes through root canal therapy, it is almost always required to protect the tooth structure with a crown. After the root canal therapy, the tooth becomes dry and brittle, requiring this additional protection against chipping or cracking. A crown covers the entire tooth to the gum line. Traditionally this involves at least two appointments. In the first appointment we take an impression of your mouth which is sent to a dental lab to make the crown. While your permanent crown is being made, we fit you with a temporary crown. In your final appointment we bond the permanent crown to your tooth. The permanent crown is carefully matched for fit and color with your other teeth.
