Dental Crown Treatment in Marriottsville, MD
A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that completely covers a damaged or weakened tooth, acting like a cap to restore both its function and appearance. Crowns are often used for teeth that are discolored, misshapen, worn down, or have large fillings. They can also serve as the final restoration for dental implants, which replace missing teeth at the root.
At Dovedale Dental Care, we use porcelain ceramic crowns, which blend seamlessly with the natural color of your teeth, providing a beautiful and durable solution. Dr. Agarwal customizes each treatment to meet your specific needs, ensuring a natural and comfortable result.
"What to Expect During Your Crown Procedure
The process begins with Dr. Agarwal shaping the affected tooth by removing a small amount of enamel to ensure the crown fits properly. Local anesthesia and sedation are used to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. Next, impressions of your teeth are taken to create your permanent crown. While you wait, a temporary crown will be placed to protect the treated tooth.
Once your permanent crown is ready, Dr. Agarwal will remove the temporary crown, carefully place the new one, and make any necessary adjustments to ensure the perfect fit and a natural look.
Frequently Asked Questions
Discover more about dental crown treatment and related solutions with answers to these common questions:
What are inlays and onlays?
Similar to crowns or fillings, inlays and onlays are known as “partial crowns”. Inlays cover the chewing surface between the tooth cusps or sides. Onlays cover the tooth cusps and the surface of the tooth. Both inlays and onlays may be made from porcelain, composite, or gold. They are single pieces that we bond to the chewing surface. Patients with tooth wear or damage but do not require full crowns benefit from inlays and onlays.
How long does it take to adjust to dental crowns?
It will take patients several days to get accumulated to their tooth crowns. For most patients, it will take two to five days for their mouth to feel normal, without any discomfort. If you feel discomfort around your crown many days after your procedure, let us know and we will check your restoration.
Can dental crowns fall out?
Dental decay or tooth damage can loosen crowns. We will monitor your crowns at routine visits to ensure that they are healthy and intact. Please contact us if you notice changes in the fit or comfort of your crown. Sticking to a good oral hygiene routine and visiting the dentist on a regular basis will ensure that your crown is healthy and fits properly.
