I Like Knowing That No One Else Knows

“I got my first crown about eight years ago. I was satisfied with the work that was done at that time. But recently as I looked in the mirror, I saw that my crown was not only a different color than the surrounding teeth, but that I could see the metal around the bottom of my crown. Ugly! I now go to Dr. Sunjay Lad and when I was there for my six month check-up, I asked him about it. He told me that he could put on a crown that would virtually be impossible to tell that it was a crown. I took him up on it and I am PLEASED. It looks wonderful.”

The Many Uses of Dental Crowns

We use dental crowns for a variety of treatments including:
• Covering a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment
• Covering a dental implant
• Covering a discolored or poorly shaped tooth
• Restoring a cracked or fractured tooth
• Attaching a bridge
• Protecting a weak tooth from cracking or fracturing
• Replacing a filling that does not have enough tooth structure to qualify a filling

Unexplained Pain

Have you ever experienced unexplained pain from previously “filled” back teeth? Many times it is due to a hairline crack in the chewing part of your tooth. By placing a crown on the tooth it will relieve the pain and will return the tooth back to its full function. Crowns are very strong and durable and when bonded to a tooth, the tooth becomes strong and durable. Because crowns so closely resemble tooth enamel, they are virtually undetectable as dental crowns. They are made to structurally blend in with your other teeth, to keep your bite smooth and last for a long time. If you are contemplating a dental crown in Temple City, call us today (626) 287-4094

Placing a Crown – Procedure Outlined

The following is the general procedure for dental crown treatment:
1. Numbing the tooth area and removal of decay
2. Sculpting the tooth for an ideal fit
3. Making an impression of your teeth to send to lab for a quality custom fit porcelain crown
4. Making a temporary crown out of acrylic resin and placing it on the top of your tooth
5. Placing your permanent crown by removing the temporary and fitting the custom made crown on top of your tooth
6. After ensuring that you have the perfect look and fit, the dentist will cement the crown to your original tooth
This treatment usually requires two visits, with the visits being about two weeks apart. You can count on your new crown being strong and long lasting. Don’t hesitate, if you are in need of a dental crown in Temple City call us today (626) 287-4094
