Their purpose is to restore a tooth\u2019s function and aesthetics. Crowns are often needed in situations when tooth decay has severely advanced that a large portion of the tooth needs to be removed. Aside from that, crowns are also used to cover dental implants, attach bridges, or prevent a cracked tooth from worsening. Additionally, crowns are used for aesthetic purposes and are applied when a stained tooth needs restoration.

Here are the steps your dentist must complete:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your dentist prepares your tooth by removing any decay and its outer portion so the crown will fit. If there is another structure needed to support the crown, your dentist may build up the core of the tooth.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Impressions are made to provide an exact model for the crown.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A temporary crown will be given to you while you wait for the permanent crown to be ready; this will usually take less than two weeks.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the model has been used to make your crown, your dentist will place it in your mouth and make adjustments if necessary. When you and your dentist are satisfied, your crown will be cemented in place.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>How should dental crowns be cared for?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you know that with proper care, a crown of good quality can last up to eight years or longer? Remember to floss around the area where the crown is to avoid plaque buildup. Address behaviors like jaw clenching or bruxism (teeth grinding) because they significantly shorten the life of the crown. Avoid eating brittle foods, ice, or hard candies since these can damage the crown. Also, make sure to visit your dentist regularly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to restore damaged teeth, Salt Run Family Dental offers <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.saltrundental.com\/restorative-dentistry.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental Crowns in St. Augustine, FL<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
