How Are Dental Crowns Placed?

Porcelain dental crowns can be used to restore your smile when a tooth has been damaged or decayed. In order for the crown to fit properly, the tooth will need to be filed down, and then the crown is placed over it. Our expert in dental crowns in Huntington Beach can make your restoration out of porcelain or composite resin, but many patients prefer porcelain since it more closely resembles the look of natural teeth.

You will need to undergo an examination from our Huntington Beach cosmetic dentist to make sure you are a good candidate to receive crowns, and if you are, we will go over what the process will be like.

First, we will numb the affected area so that you will not experience any discomfort. Once the tooth is numb, we will shape it so that the crown can fit over it. A temporary crown will be placed over the altered tooth until the permanent one is ready.

Your crown will be designed using the latest in dental technology to create an attractive and durable restoration. Once the crown is ready, it will be bonded directly to the prepared tooth. We use a special dental cement to ensure that it stays in place.
