Crowns Fit for a King or Queen
Dental crowns act as protective caps over damaged or weakened teeth due to either decay or fracture, restoring their shape, strength, and appearance. Think of them as the perfect crown for natural teeth, designed to defend against further damage and improve function. By fitting a dental crown, the dentist helps you chew, speak, and smile confidently, all while giving your tooth a regal makeover.
People choose crowns to:
- Shield a fragile tooth from cracking or breaking
- Restore a tooth that’s worn down or broken
- Cover a large failing filling when there isn’t enough natural tooth remaining
- Support dental bridges
- Enhance the look of discolored or misshapen teeth
- Close access after endodontic treatment
Crafting Dental Crowns in Alpharetta: Expert Care and Cozy Comfort
Getting a dental crown at Ivy Dentistry combines skilled dentistry with thoughtful amenities to keep you comfortable. Here’s what you can expect, step by step, as Dr. Erin Bang-Crooks and the team deliver expert care wrapped in cozy comfort.
Step 1: Consultation and Exam
The dentist examines your tooth to determine if a crown is the best solution. During this visit, you can relax in our welcoming office and enjoy free Wi-Fi while we review your dental history and discuss your treatment options.
Step 2: Preparing Your Tooth
Once you agree to move forward, the dentist carefully shapes your tooth to accommodate the crown. We offer blankets and pillows to keep you cozy during this detailed work. If you feel anxious, just ask for nitrous oxide, stress balls, or headphones with music or TV to help unwind.
Step 3: Taking Impressions or Digital Scans
Next, the dentist takes impressions to create an exact model of your tooth. While this happens, you can relax with Chapstick, water, or even an eye mask.
Step 4: Temporary Crown Placement
If your permanent crown requires time to be crafted off-site, the dentist places a temporary crown to protect your tooth. During this period, you can enjoy our wheelchair accessible office and convenient parking for easy visits. We’ll also provide warm towels to freshen you up before you leave.
Step 5: Fitting and Adjusting Your Crown
When your permanent crown is ready, the dentist carefully fits and adjusts it to ensure a perfect bite and comfortable feel. We encourage you to sit back with a warm towel and enjoy your favorite TV show during this step.
Step 6: Final Cementation
After confirming the fit, the dentist cements your crown securely in place. You can sip water or refresh yourself with Chapstick as we complete the procedure.
Step 7: Aftercare Guidance
Before you leave, the team provides clear care instructions to keep your new crown in excellent condition. We’re here for checkups, questions, or if you want a cozy blanket on your next visit.
At Ivy Dentistry, we combine expertise with comfort, ensuring your dental crown experience in Alpharetta feels as smooth and stress-free as possible.
