A crown not only improves the aesthetics of your smile, but it also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drlisk.com\/inlays-onlays.html\">restores<\/a> its functionality. As you continue reading, your North Raleigh dentist will explain exactly what a crown is, and the different steps involved in you receiving one.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What is a Dental Crown?<\/h2>\n<p>The crown of your tooth is the portion that is visible above the gum line. If you\u2019ve suffered damage due to a severe break, crack or tooth decay, yours may be unrepairable. In such situations, you\u2019ll need a restoration crown.<\/p>\n<p>The restoration crown is made from high quality, tooth-colored ceramic that looks very similar to your natural teeth. Thus, it fulfills an aesthetic purpose.<\/p>\n<h2>The Steps of the Restoration Crown Process<\/h2>\n<p>Here are the simple steps you\u2019ll undergo to get your dental crowns in North Raleigh:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The first appointment is to complete any work that is needed to restore the health of your tooth, like a root canal.<\/li>\n<li>During the same visit, your tooth will be shaped to prepare for the new crown. Then bite impressions will be taken so that a trusted lab can create your permanent fixture. Your dentist will place a temporary crown for you to wear during the fabrication process.<\/li>\n<li>When the restoration crown is ready, you\u2019ll return to your local professional to have it fitted. You\u2019ll leave his office with a fully restored and aesthetically pleasing smile.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Make Your Crown Last<\/h2>\n<p>Once your smile is restored, you want to make sure that it lasts, so here are some tips to keep in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Oral Hygiene <\/strong>\u2013 It\u2019s important that you practice excellent oral hygiene to maintain your dental crown, because the health of your gums and surrounding teeth depend on it. Therefore, be sure to brush and floss your teeth at least twice a day to remove harmful bacteria.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bruxism <\/strong>\u2013 Teeth grinding (bruxism) can cause your restoration crown to unseat and fail prematurely, so if you suffer from this problem, be sure to seek help from your dentist.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Regular Check-ups <\/strong>\u2013 Semi-annual visits to your dentist will not only allow him to monitor how well your new crown is functioning, but it will also provide you with a thorough cleaning and examination. Thus, these appointments increase the longevity of your crown and improve your oral health.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So if you\u2019re suffering from some form of decay or have other damage to your tooth, don\u2019t hesitate to reach out to your local dentist so that you can be crowned like royalty!<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A graduate of the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry in Chapel Hill, Dr. Philip A.
