Many patients experience decay, damage, and injury in their teeth which affects the overall appearance of their teeth. If this is something that concerns you, then we might have a solution that will solve your dental problems. Dentists use a <\/span>dental crown<\/b><\/a> or cap to mimic the form and appearance of your natural teeth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Dental caps are used in <\/span>cosmetic dentistry<\/i><\/b> to enhance and restore your damaged or injured teeth. They improve the appearance of your teeth and restore their function. They also help in making your teeth alignment better since the dental cap<\/span>s <\/b>cover the teeth gaps.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n During your first visit for a <\/span>dental crown in Aurora<\/b><\/a>, your dentist will take an X-ray of your tooth and jawbone. He’ll use the result to examine your teeth for any signs of decay or other factors that may increase the risk of infection to the pulp of the tooth. A few cases may require the patients to undergo a root canal treatment before placing a crown on the treated tooth. The dentist will reshape the tooth to give the crown enough space once the dentist places it on top. The extent of reshaping depends on the type of <\/span>dental crown procedure<\/b> needed to treat the tooth. Since metal-based crowns are thin, they requires less reshaping compared to porcelain crowns.<\/span><\/p>\n For patients with severe damage or decay to the tooth, there won’t be any enough structure left to place the crown. If this is the case, the dentist will use a filling material to build up the structure of the tooth so the crown will have a stable foundation.<\/span><\/p>\n Once the dentist has shaped the tooth accordingly, he will then create an impression of the treated tooth. Doing so will help the dental laboratory to fabricate the crown that’ll fit well to the tooth. The dentist may also need to get an impression of the jaw that will connect to the crown whenever the patient bites. The impression guarantees that the implant fits correctly into the patient’s mouth.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The dentist will now send the impressions of the patient’s teeth to a dental laboratory or a dental technician to form the crown. It usually takes up to three weeks to complete. So, the patient must get back for his second visit for the placement of the <\/span>dental crown<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n The dentist will check both the fitting as well as the color of the crown to ensure that it matches the teeth. The dentist must check the match before he permanently places the crown.<\/span><\/p>\n The dentist applies a local anesthetic to numb the area during the <\/span>dental crown procedure<\/b>. Next, he’ll use dental cement to place the crown over the tooth permanently. There might be a few minor adjustments to the shape of the crown, mainly if there are any issues with the patient’s bite.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n A<\/span> dental crown<\/b> commonly lasts for seven years. However, there are cases where they may last up to for decades if maintained properly. That’s why it’s essential to maintain good oral hygiene to keep your teeth and gums healthy. You should also avoid foods that easily stain your teeth or damage your dental crown entirely.<\/span><\/p>\n Regular visits to your dentist helps you to maintain your oral health as well as your<\/span> dental crown procedure<\/b>. Don\u2019t hesitate to ask any questions, especially if it concerns your health. It\u2019s always best to learn from the experts instead of relying on what you see on the internet.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.0.6″][et_pb_search show_button=”off” placeholder=”Search” placeholder_color=”#de639c” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” border_radii=”off|20px|4px|20px|4px” border_color_all=”rgba(222,99,156,0.2)” global_module=”49199″ locked=”off”][\/et_pb_search][et_pb_sidebar area=”et_pb_widget_area_2″ show_border=”off” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_module=”49200″ locked=”off”][\/et_pb_sidebar][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_4_font=”Inter|700|||||||” header_4_font_size=”25px” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” header_4_font_size_tablet=”24px” header_4_font_size_phone=”” header_4_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_module=”49150″ locked=”off”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_social_media_follow use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”20px” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” custom_padding=”|||0px|false|false” border_radii=”on|100%|100%|100%|100%” global_module=”49152″ locked=”off”][et_pb_social_media_follow_network social_network=”facebook” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#3b5998″ follow_button=”off” url_new_window=”on”]facebook[\/et_pb_social_media_follow_network][et_pb_social_media_follow_network social_network=”instagram” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#ea2c59″ custom_button=”on” border_radii=”on|100%|100%|100%|100%” follow_button=”off” url_new_window=”on”]instagram[\/et_pb_social_media_follow_network][\/et_pb_social_media_follow][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#de639c” background_image=”https:\/\/dentistid02.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/06\/Group-56.png” custom_margin_tablet=”” custom_margin_phone=”-20px||||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding_tablet=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”0px||||false|false” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” global_module=”49101″ da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.8.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin_tablet=”” custom_margin_phone=”0px||||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.8.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Inter||||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_2_font=”Inter|700|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_2_font_size=”36px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”” custom_margin_phone=”0px||10px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”bottom” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”20px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone”]<\/p>\n \u2014\u2014\u2014 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Book an appointment with us now!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/dentistid02.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/06\/DANA-752×463-1-1.png” alt=”Aurora dentist – Dana Dental” title_text=”DANA – 752×463 (1)” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin_tablet=”” custom_margin_phone=”-19px||||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|tablet”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”21px|30px|21px|30px|false|false” border_radii=”off||4px|40px|”][et_pb_text content_tablet=”” content_phone=”<\/p>\nWhat should I expect from a dental crown procedure?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
