THE BENEFIT OF A DENTAL CROWN PROCEDURE IN TORONTO
Will a dental crown work for me?
Almost anyone can be a candidate for a dental crown; but it’s important to note that not all teeth can be saved. First, Dr. Soll must examine the tooth and take x-rays to view the tooth’s root. If the damage is restricted to the surface of the tooth and the root is healthy and intact, it’s likely that a crown will be used to repair the damage.
How is a crown placed?
The first step in placing the crown is to numb the area with local anaesthetic. Once you lose feeling in the tooth and surrounding gums, Dr. Soll will remove the damaged area of the tooth. Impressions will be taken of your teeth and sent to the dental lab where your new crown will be produced. Next, a temporary crown will be placed in order to protect your tooth from further damage until the permanent crown is ready. When the permanent crown is complete, you will return to Dr. Soll’s office to have it bonded into place.
Once the crown is placed you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence. If you have a tooth that is damaged or sore, call Dr. Soll today to schedule an appointment.
