Dental Crowns
What Are Dental Crowns?
​
A dental crown is a dental restoration treatment where a cap is bonded to a tooth. The crown is usually shaped and colored to match the tooth, as a way of reinforcing it and protecting it from further damage.
It’s a little like putting a cast on a broken leg. The only difference is that, since the teeth can’t repair themselves the way a broken bone can, the crown usually stays in place.

Why Do You Need Dental Crown?
​
A tooth crown has a few potential purposes, but for the most part, it helps to support a tooth that has had significant damage. These are the situation when we’d normally recommend a dental cap.
-
Severe cavities or decay
-
Following root canal treatment
-
Severe damage to the tooth structure, like breakage or cracks
-
Following a major dental filling where there isn’t enough health enamel left intact
​
What Are Dental Crowns Made Of?
​
Dental caps can be made of a few different materials. These are the ones we normally use for dental crowns in Glendale:
-
Porcelain
-
Metal
-
Zirconia
-
Composite resin, especially for temporary crowns
​
Steps of Placing a Dental Crown
​
Getting a crown will usually require two appointments. Here’s how we break down the process.
​
First Appointment
First, we will book you in for a consultation to make sure that a crown is right for you.
-
During the first appointment, your dentist or hygienist will clean and examine your teeth.
-
If needed, we will numb the area and remove old restorations and decayed material.
-
Once your teeth are prepared, we will take a digital impression of your teeth, in order to prepare a custom crown that will fit you perfectly.
-
Finally, we will apply a temporary crown to protect your teeth while the final crown is being prepared.
​
Second Appointment
Once your custom crown is ready, we will book you in for placement.
-
We will remove the temporary crown, and check the fit of your new crown.
-
If all is well, we will numb the area.
-
Finally, we will apply a bonding material, and fit your final cap in place.
