Dental Crown Procedure
During the first visit to the dentist, the patient has to undergo an evaluation process. The dentist uses digital imaging systems to determine if the patient is a candidate for a dental crown. A small part of the teeth' enamel is etched for the process. The dentist takes the impression of the teeth to make a model of the dental Crown. It is sent to the laboratory for fabrication and the patient is provided a temporary crown to cover the tooth.
In the subsequent appointment, the dentist places the fabricated dental Crown on the teeth. It is affixed to the teeth with dental cement, which provides a functional tooth to the patient.
Aftercare for Dental Crown
The patient may experience slight discomfort after the treatment. Hard food should not be consumed for 24 hours after the procedure. During the recovery period, the dentist can brush and floss the teeth gently. If the patient experiences pain r inflammation, the dentist prescribes over-the-counter medications that can help reduce the pain. Good dental care is vital for the healing process. In case of any discomfort, the patient should visit the dentist immediately.
