Tooth injury can occasionally result from trauma, severe biting forces, or cavities. The tooth may be particularly delicate if a root canal is required to restore a damaged nerve. These teeth can be restored and covered with natural-looking materials using dental crowns, often known as caps. The majority of "capped" teeth are not only incredibly comfortable and secure, but they also look exactly like natural teeth. To reinforce, cover, seal, and preserve your tooth, a crown is a covering that is placed over the top of the tooth. Because crowns work well and frequently save teeth instead of requiring implants, they are utilized in a wide range of situations.

Our Cambridge dentist will assess your needs based on the state of your teeth and your oral health. A crown can be the answer to saving that tooth. Crowns can be made to fix one tooth, several teeth (including the entire mouth), or to fill in a gap left by dental implants. In fact, the placement of dental bridges or implants may be given further thought when missing teeth are involved.

It will take around two sessions after your case is scheduled for you to depart with a tooth that has been completely fixed. The teeth are carefully prepped at the initial appointment. To build a dental masterpiece, our Cambridge dentist next submits your case to a specialist lab. Until the permanent crown is delivered for implantation, a temporary crown lets you continue to operate normally. Usually, this takes two to three weeks. You will return for a second visit after working on custom craftwork in the lab for hours. Before gluing the crown into place, the dentist will test it on and assess its fit and look.
