What Are Dental Crowns?
Teeth that have suffered moderate decay or damage can often be repaired with a dental crown. At our state-of-the-art office, we offer crowns to men and women in Holland, MI to cover and support the visible part of a single tooth, restoring its normal shape and size. Custom-crafted to blend seamlessly with neighboring teeth, crowns are used to treat fractured teeth, decayed teeth, oddly shaped teeth, and other forms of oral damage. Our dental professionals employ iTero® technology for this treatment for more accurate diagnoses, better-fitting crowns and bridges, and an overall improved patient experience. At Christopher Nelis, DDS, dental restorations can also be combined to create a bridge or bonded to single dental implants to replace missing teeth. Schedule a consultation with our dental practitioners in Holland, MI to see if a custom dental crown can restore the appearance and health of your smile.
What Happens During the Dental Crown Procedure?
The crown procedure for patients in Holland, MI typically occurs over two office visits. During the initial visit, one of our dental professionals will administer local anesthesia and may offer sedation services for added comfort if desired. After removing the affected portion of the tooth, an impression of the treated tooth will be taken and sent to a professional dental laboratory to craft your personalized dental crown. Using the precise technology of iTero, we are able to capture measurements of the teeth to create perfectly fitting crowns, bridges, and veneers. This results in restorations that are both aesthetically pleasing and functionally sound. A temporary dental crown will be placed over the treated tooth to maintain normal function and a lifelike appearance while your custom restoration is being fabricated. A follow-up visit at Christopher Nelis, DDS will be scheduled a few weeks later to remove the temporary crown and attach your new restoration to the tooth or dental implant post.
