If you\u2019ve never had one before, you probably have several questions running through your head. For most patients, their main concern is whether the procedure will be painful. But rest assured \u2013 it\u2019s a common and safe process that is much more comfortable than you think! Read along to learn what you can expect and what will happen if you delay getting a dental crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2>What Is a Dental Crown?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.warnickandsemder.com\/dental-crowns.html\">Dental crowns<\/a> are custom-made caps that are fit over the surface of your teeth. They can be fabricated from a variety of materials and are often used to restore the size, shape, and structure of damaged or decayed teeth. Today, most crowns are made from ceramic or porcelain because they mimic the appearance of real tooth enamel, creating seamless and natural-looking results!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>The Dental Crown Procedure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In most cases, the dental crown procedure can be completed in as little as two appointments. It\u2019s often broken down into the following steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Preparation Visit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At your initial visit, your dentist will examine the tooth in question and prepare it for a crown. This appointment will be longer than the second one because it involves numbing the tooth, filing down the enamel, removing damaged areas, and taking an impression for the lab. Since your tooth is completely numb with a local anesthetic, you won\u2019t feel a thing during its preparation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Final Placement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In between appointments, you\u2019ll have a temporary crown to minimize any sensitivity. But once the permanent one is created, you\u2019ll return to the clinic and have it permanently cemented in place. Your dentist may use a numbing agent to ensure you\u2019re as comfortable as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>What to Expect During Recovery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After getting a dental crown, you\u2019ll most likely experience irritation, tenderness, and inflammation as a result of the procedure. However, any discomfort you feel should resolve within a few days! You can take over-the-counter pain medication to alleviate mild sensitivity for the first few days. If you\u2019re experiencing significant pain, contact your dentist right away to examine the area and make necessary adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>What Happens If You Avoid Getting a Dental Crown?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Believe it or not, the biggest risks of dental crown treatment are associated with <em>not<\/em> getting one. They\u2019re designed to protect structurally compromised teeth, meaning the tooth can eventually break down with everyday use. Delaying treatment can increase your risk of significant pain and dental emergencies down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although getting a dental crown might seem nerve-wracking, it\u2019s a standard and safe procedure that can protect your smile for many years to come!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Warnick and Semder Dentistry, we provide exceptional, personalized, and individually tailored dental care that is bound to exceed even your highest expectations.
