One thought on “What happens during a dental crown procedure?”
Arti says:
Your dentist will usually prepare the tooth by removing a layer of the outer surface of the tooth. The crown will be the same thickness as the thickness of this removed layer. They are also used to protect a weak tooth from breaking, and to cover stained or badly shaped teeth. Dental crowns can be used to cover a broken or decayed tooth when too much of the original tooth is missing to hold a filling. Although your crown can’t decay, the edge of the tooth on which it sits can. You will need to brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste and floss your teeth, as is usually recommended.
