Placing a final dental crown is a quick and painless procedure, especially when you’re in the caring and capable hands of Dr. Christopher Constantine or Dr. Lewis Libby. At Osler Dental Professionals, we provide patients near Towson, MD with customized, attractive, and durable tooth crowns so they can enjoy a healthy, beautiful smile.
Our restorative dentists often use crowns for one of the following reasons:
- Preserve and strengthen a damaged or decayed tooth
- Cover a tooth that’s undergone a root canal
- Conceal a severely discolored or misshapen tooth
- Top a dental implant
- Anchor a dental bridge
The Dental Crown Process
Our dentists in Towson, MD can place and install a dental crown in two appointments.
During your consultation, either Dr. Constantine or Dr. Libby will evaluate your oral health status, needs, goals, and medical history. If they determine a crown is the best solution for you, they will perform a more thorough exam, including digital x-rays, 3-D imaging, and impressions.
Typically, a dental lab creates the final crown, which may take seven to ten business days.
When the final crown is ready, the dentist applies a local anesthetic to numb the area and prepares the tooth to receive the crown.
Your dentist will ensure the crown is the perfect shape, shade, size, and overall fit. Next, they place the crown over the tooth and secure it in place using strong dental cement. Finally, they polish the tooth, and you’re ready to enjoy your newly restored smile.
