We will promptly place a dental crown
Imagine the situation: an important business meeting, a long-awaited date or a public performance is coming up, and suddenly – a chipped tooth, a fallen filling or, even worse, a lost crown.
Fairfax Dentist can restore your tooth in one visit by placing a temporary crown and starting the process of making a permanent one. If you still have an old crown, we can replace it.
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are not just a dental procedure, but a real art of restoring and protecting teeth that have been damaged, injured or significantly worn.
They are a kind of “cap” that is put on the damaged tooth, completely covering its visible part. The crown restores the tooth to its original shape, size and, most importantly, functionality.
Fairfax Dentist dentists will make you a custom dental crown from porcelain, zirconium dioxide or another durable material.
How long does it take to fit a dental crown?
To fit a crown, you will need at least two visits to our office.
- During the first visit, our dentist will conduct an examination and diagnosis, assess the condition of the tooth and determine the need for a crown. Then the tooth is prepared, that is, ground down to the required shape to create space for the crown. After this, impressions are taken from your teeth, which are sent to a dental laboratory, where an individual crown is made. While the permanent crown is being made, you will be fitted with a temporary crown, which will protect the ground tooth from external influences.
- During the second visit, after the permanent crown is made, it is tried on and fixed on the tooth using special dental cement.
