For teeth that are badly damaged, dental crowns can be an effective treatment option. The dental crown procedure utilizes tooth-shaped coverings made of ceramic or porcelain to restore strength and eliminate discomfort. In addition, dental crowns may be used to anchor a dental bridge or to cap a dental implant post.

Dental crowns are made of metal, ceramic, or porcelain fused to metal. The type of dental crown material utilized during your dental crown procedure will depend on your unique needs and goals as well as the recommendation of La Mesa cosmetic dentists, Dr. Jeff Gray and Dr. Hurtado.

THE DENTAL CROWN PROCEDURE

The dental crown procedure is typically completed in two stages. Your dentist will remove portions of your natural tooth’s structure to make a well-fitting crown. An impression will be sent to the lab. This lab will be create your new crown in about two weeks. A temporary dental crown will help you chew and speak normally while you wait for your new permanent crown.
