An average person chews over 600,000 times a year - dental crowns help make every bite count!
The dental crown process begins with a comprehensive consultation and examination at Huggett Dental in Oconomowoc. During this initial visit, Dr. Huggett will assess the condition of your tooth and determine whether a dental crown is the most suitable treatment option for you. She will also take the time to discuss your aesthetic goals and preferences, ensuring the final result aligns with your expectations. This consultation is also an excellent opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about the treatment.
Once you're ready to proceed, the next step involves preparing the tooth for the crown. Dr. Huggett will carefully reshape your tooth to create an ideal surface for the crown to adhere to. After the tooth is prepared, an impression of your teeth will be taken. This impression serves as a precise model from which your custom dental crown will be crafted.
The final step of the process is the placement of your new dental crown. Once your crown is ready, Dr. Huggett will carefully fit and bond it over your prepared tooth. She will also make any necessary adjustments to ensure your bite is comfortable and the crown feels natural in your mouth.
Dental crowns can significantly improve the functionality of a damaged or decayed tooth. By providing a strong, durable surface for biting and chewing, crowns can help you enjoy your favorite foods without discomfort.
Beyond their restorative benefits, dental crowns can also dramatically enhance the aesthetic appearance of your smile. They can be crafted to match the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth, resulting in a seamless, natural-looking restoration.
With proper care and regular dental check-ups, dental crowns can last for many years. They are made from high-quality materials that are resistant to chipping and staining, providing a long-lasting solution for damaged teeth.
Gold was the material of choice for dental crowns in the 1900s due to its durability and malleability.
