Damaged or decayed teeth can lead to self-conscious smiles and other problems, such as discomfort when chewing. They’re also more vulnerable to becoming weaker and sustaining more damage. Our dentists in Grovetown, GA, at Patriots Park Dental offer crowns to keep these teeth safe and restore them. Here’s what happens during one of these visits.

Preparing Your Tooth for a Crown

Our dental team removes all traces of decay from your tooth. We may also need to remove tiny amounts of enamel to give your crown room to fit.

Taking Digital Impressions for Your Custom Crown

The next step is having impressions made, so we can have a custom crown designed and created for a perfect fit.

Placing a Temporary Crown on Your Tooth

Keep in mind that the process of getting dental crowns in Grovetown, GA, involves two visits. Before leaving your first visit, we’ll give you a temporary crown to offer some protection until your custom crown is ready. The temporary one isn’t custom-made, so it may not fit perfectly.

Removing the Temporary Crown and Placing the Permanent Crown

When you come in for your second visit, we’ll take off the temporary crown and place your custom crown on your tooth. Your new crown should offer a comfortable fit once we bond it to your tooth.

Checking and Adjusting Your New Crown

Before you leave, our dental team will make sure your crown fits properly. If needed, we can make adjustments to it to correct the fit.
