How Do Dental Crowns Work?

The Dental Crown Treatment Process

When patients have dental crowns placed at our Nashville, TN, practice, they can expect several streamlined steps:

Numb the Tooth

To begin treatment, we will numb the tooth and surrounding area so you feel completely comfortable throughout treatment.

Treat the Infection

If there are any infected areas of the tooth due to cavities or root canal infection, our dentists will perform the necessary treatment to clean and disinfect the tooth.

Prep the Tooth

Next, we will remove a small amount of the outer tooth structure so the crown can fit over the tooth.

Impressions

To craft a crown that achieves an excellent fit and appearance, we will take impressions of your mouth after your tooth has been prepped.

Temporary Crown

While your crown is being made, you will wear a temporary crown to protect your tooth.

Fabrication

Your crown will be made out of a solid block of porcelain. Dental porcelain is both natural-looking and durable, making it an ideal material for dental crowns.

Crown Placement

When your custom crown is ready, you can return to our office to have it secured in place.
