Issues that Dental Crowns Address

Dental crowns may be used when simpler solutions such as fillings or bonding aren’t enough. They may be used in these situations:

The tooth is severely chipped or cracked.
The tooth enamel has been ground down enough that the dentin is exposed.
A filling needs a protective covering.
The tooth has received a root canal.
To hold a dental bridge in place.
To cover the post of a dental implant.

How a Dental Crown is Placed

Here are the steps that Dr. Warner follows to place a dental crown:

The outer portion of the tooth is removed to prepare for the crown (unless the crown is for a dental implant).
Dr. Warner makes an impression of the tooth.
The impression is used to create a crown that will fit the tooth or dental post securely.
A temporary crown is added to protect the tooth.
Dr. Warner places the crown and makes adjustments as necessary.

Caring for Your Dental Crown

A dental crown doesn’t require any special care. Follow your regular oral care routine to maintain the health of your tooth and gums. Remember that your tooth is still susceptible to decay or gum issues even with a dental crown, so continue to brush and floss!

If well cared for, a dental crown can last for up to 15 years. Maintaining a good oral care routine will keep your crown in good shape for as long as possible.

Make sure to brush your teeth – including the tooth with the crown – twice a day. Also make sure to floss and visit your dentist twice a year.

Avoid chewing hard objects such as ice with the tooth that has a dental crown. This can cause the crown to wear down more quickly.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am a newer patient to Willoughby Dental. I called on a Thursday morning and asked if they could see me later that afternoon as I was in pain. The receptionist was extremely kind and friendly, as she always is, and was able to find a spot to fit me into the schedule at the end of the day. I was extremely grateful since it was a last minute phone call and I was in pain.

Dr. Willoughby was friendly, as always, and assessed my issue. He and his assistant were able to fix my tooth Ina short amount of time. After the novacaine wore off, I was no longer in pain.

I am very grateful that Willoughby Dental is a flexible practice and was able to get me in because I was in pain. I have had dentists in the past that, even though I was in pain, they were not at all flexible and would  not fit me into the schedule to fix my issue.

I highly recommend Willoughby Dental. Dr. Willoughby is professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He cares about his patients

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Warner is by far the best dentist I’ve ever been to, both in professionalism and skill. I’ve unfortunately dealt with some unique dental issues, yet you’d never know it thanks to the comfort and care he and his team provide at every visit. They make you feel genuinely appreciated as a patient. I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else!
