Porcelain Crowns OxnardIf you have a tooth with a sizable cavity, you will want to address that situation before adjacent teeth can be affected. Dental crowns are a popular choice when it comes to covering teeth damaged by deep cavities. There are many cases where the cavity grows beyond the stage of using inlays or onlays. At this point, you may want to consider capping your tooth with a crown. In Oxnard we have many options other than fillings that can help you cover your tooth. When you need to have a tooth crowned, we will present the best options to help you deal with your circumstances. We may use metallic, porcelain, resin, or ceramic dental caps to cover the tooth, depending on your preferences. There are no special care instructions to follow after the procedure, so you can simply continue with your normal day-to-day oral routine.

How Dental Crowns WorkOnce we establish the need for a crown, you will need to schedule two appointments. During the first appointment, our dentist will diagnose your tooth, and prepare it for crowning by shaping it. We will also provide a temporary crown for you to wear while we construct your permanent one. This initial visit will not last longer than an hour, so you do not have to worry about spending the entire day out of work. By your second appointment, we will have created your permanent crown, so the process will simply involve the removal of the temporary crown and replacing it with the permanent one. The permanent crown will function and feel just the same as your original tooth. For more information or to schedule a consultation, please contact our team at Esthetic Smiles by calling 805-365-4222. We can discuss your options and determine if you require a porcelain crown or other dental procedures. |
