3
Discolored or weak teeth and cosmetic purposes
are some of the reasons you may need to have a
dental crown procedure done.
4
Knowing your end goal will determine the type of
crown you choose.
5
A family dentist will help you make
this decision.
6
Here are some of the things that you should
expect with this procedure.
7
CHOOSING A CROWN
8
First, schedule an appointment with your
dentist. He or she will go over all your options
and explain the pros and cons of the procedure.
9
The type of crown chosen must be one that your
tooth can support.
10
There are various types of crowns, such as

• Ceramic
• Porcelain
• Resin
• Stainless Steel

11
Each of these will provide different benefits.
However, all crowns offer a solution to a
specific dental issue, such as problems caused
by an accident, normal wear and tear, or an
oral disease.
12
MULTIPLE DENTAL VISITS
13
You will typically need to make two trips to the
dentist for this procedure. This can vary from
dentist-to-dentist.
14
At the first appointment, the dentist will
evaluate your tooth to verify that it can
support the crown.
After this is done, they will begin filing the
tooth down.
15
Sometimes the tooth can be badly damaged or
cracked. If so, it may need to be filled so the
tooth will be big enough to support the crown.
16
Otherwise, the tooth would reject the crown.
Remember, if the procedure is not done
correctly, it could make the tooth worse, which
may lead to severe health issues.
17
After successfully filing the tooth, your
dentist will take an impression. This impression
will be used to make the permanent crown.
18
You will receive a temporary crown to protect
your tooth until the permanent one is available.
Once the crown is ready, you will have your
second appointment.
19
The first step is removing the temporary crown.
Using a special adhesive, your dentist will
position and fasten the new crown to the tooth.
20
This part of the procedure will bring everything
together. The crown will only be cemented when
you and the dentist agree on the fit.
21
Remember that once this is done, some changes,
such as various shape modifications or colors
cannot be made.
22
WHAT TO DO NEXT?
23
You will need to take some precautions with your
new crown. The dentist will go over a few
instructions with you.
24
For example, you may need to avoid eating sticky
or hard food until the crown has enough time to
cure.
25
You will likely experience some numbness for a
couple of days.

• After the numbness has disappeared, you can
  begin testing the bite of your crown.

26
If it does not feel right, you will need to
contact your dentist immediately.
27
TAKE TIME TO ADJUST
28
You may go through a period of adjustment.
However, if the procedure is done correctly
29
your new crown will begin to feel like a
normal tooth in terms of its function and
appearance.
30
Before the procedure, be sure to ask your family
dentist as many questions as necessary. He or
she will help you decide what type of crown is
best for you.
31
They also will explain the procedure in more
depth, such as its pros and cons.
32
And, before you know it, you will be smiling and
showing off your new pearly whites.
