At All Smiles Dental, our dental experts can examine your tooth and help you determine the right type of dental crown procedure for your personal oral health needs and smile preferences. Las Vegas, NV men and women might benefit from having a dental crown placed to resolve several oral conditions and improve the proper function and aesthetic appeal of a tooth. The more common reasons for performing a dental crown procedure are:

• Teeth that have cracks or fractures
• Worn or eroded teeth
• Deeply stained or odd-shaped teeth
• Moderate-sized cavities
• Replacement of large fillings
• Teeth that have received a root canal
• For the fabrication of a dental bridge
• To restore individual dental implants

The dental crown procedure commonly takes place over two visits. At your initial appointment, one of our highly trained dental experts will administer local anesthesia to your tooth and might incorporate sedation dentistry services to enhance your comfort level if preferred. When the affected area is taken care of, an impression of the tooth will be captured and used by a professional laboratory to craft your customized porcelain crown. A provisional restoration will cover the tooth to sustain normal function and a lifelike appearance throughout the time your new restoration is being fabricated. You will come back to All Smiles Dental in 1 – 2 weeks afterward so that you can have the provisional crown taken off and your new porcelain crown attached to the tooth or dental implant. Once it is in place, your new crown will be smoothed as needed to make certain it feels comfortable in your mouth. One of our staff members will discuss the ideal way to care for your new restoration and demonstrate flossing and brushing practices. With proper care, a restoration should help preserve your oral health for several years.
