A dental crown is a protective cap that is placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its health, function, and appearance. We offer a variety of dental crown materials in Greenfield, but our all-ceramic crowns are the most popular. Dental porcelain looks incredibly natural and can provide the support your tooth structure needs to continue to thrive.
First, we’ll schedule a consultation with you so we can examine your tooth and take dental impressions. We’ll also discuss the finer details of your treatment, such as your general availability, material preferences, and affordability options.
From there, we’ll have to prepare your tooth for your dental crown. This simply involves shaving it down ever-so-slightly to smooth out jagged edges and ensure your crown will fit comfortably. It will take about two weeks for our partners at the dental lab to use your impressions to create your customized crown, so we’ll provide you with a “temporary crown” before you leave. That way, your tooth will be protected from further harm while you wait.
As soon as we receive your customized crown, we’ll call you back to the office. It typically takes no longer than one hour to replace the temporary crown with the permanent restoration.
