What Is a Dental Crown?
When a tooth cracks or experiences other severe damage, its structural integrity can become compromised. This leads to an increased risk of cavities and gum disease, and also makes the tooth more vulnerable to further harm. So, to protect your child’s pearly white and provide some much-needed support, we’ll place a customized, tooth-colored cap over it for 360-degree coverage. Since Dr. Ben is an internationally recognized expert in zirconia crowns, you can trust that your child will receive a high-quality restoration that will blend in seamlessly with their other teeth!
The Process of Getting a Dental Crown
A dental crown treatment is actually a two-step process. During your child’s first appointment, we’ll assess their needs, make any necessary alterations to their tooth (this allows the crown to fit snugly and comfortably), take dental impressions, then finally provide them with a temporary crown.
The purpose of a temporary crown is to protect the vulnerable tooth while our trusted partners at the dental lab customize the final product. This typically takes two to three weeks, but could take less time because zirconia is easier to work with than other materials. Once our team receives your child’s permanent crown from the lab, we’ll be able to replace the temporary version during a second appointment.
Benefits of Getting a Dental Crown
There are many benefits to getting a zirconia crown in Garland, including:
- Tooth-colored, natural appearance – you won’t be able to tell the difference between their crown and real teeth!
- Superior strength – these crowns are temperature-resistant and even more durable than their traditional metal counterparts.
- Quick customization and treatment – your child can enjoy their complete, healthy smile soon after their visit.
