What Are Some of the Reasons Why You Might Need a Dental Crown?

There are plenty of reasons why we recommend a dental crown. Our top priority is to save your tooth, and if we think a dental crown is the best way to do so, we will recommend it.

Some of the most common reasons why we might suggest a dental crown include the following:

• We recommend a dental crown if you have just completed root canal therapy. A crown is important because it can protect that tooth and restore it to its original function.
• We may also recommend a dental crown to replace a missing tooth. For example, if you are interested in a dental bridge, dental crowns are placed on the adjoining teeth to anchor the false tooth used to fill the gap and replace the missing tooth.
• If you have a tooth that has suffered severe damage due to trauma or oral decay, we may recommend a dental crown to save the tooth.

We will discuss whether a dental crown is suitable for your needs.

How Does the Same-Day Crown Procedure Work?

If you are interested in getting a dental crown, we can provide one in a single appointment. First, you should give us a call to schedule an appointment. Then, when you arrive, Dr. Bryce Eagar will prepare your tooth and then, using a special intraoral camera and the CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing) technology, will create a 3D model of your dental crown. 

This 3D model is sent to our in-house milling machine to create the crown while you wait. That way, you don’t have to worry about getting a temporary crown, and you won’t have to return to the office to place the final crown. We will place the crown in your mouth and make sure it fits perfectly before we finish.
