Dental crowns tend to be well-suited in the following situations:
- Rebuilding a tooth that has become worn or weak because a large dental filling has begun to fail
- Holding a dental bridge into place
- Improving the appearance of a tooth that has become stained or discoloured
- Protecting a tooth that has become brittle following a root canal procedure
- Providing the finishing touch for a dental implant
- Reshaping a tooth that has an irregular appearance
Dental crowns are typically quite easy to fit and won’t require multiple appointments with your dentist like other procedures. At LN Dental, we use state-of-the-art computer-assisted design software (TRIOS technology) that allows us to take scans of your tooth and cut time and discomfort out of the process.
This technology eliminates the need for unpleasant dental impressions; it also provides us with a more accurate mould of your tooth so that your new crown will fit precisely.
The scan is sent to our in-house milling machine, which fabricates your new crown in about 15 minutes—while you wait. Once it is ready, Dr. Nhan can immediately cement it into place. The entire process will take about an hour and a half from start to finish, and it can all be completed in just one appointment at our clinic.
Dental crowns are typically less expensive than a variety of other procedures – particularly those that require more invasive work to take place. The initial cost of having a dental crown fitted will also help those experiencing trouble with their teeth to halt or slow the progress of issues that may cost a great deal more to fix down the line.
