Dental Crown Procedure
The dental crown procedure has several steps, including pre-treatment and post-treatment. The aim of the treatment is to fix the damaged tooth, which the patient cannot fix on his own, by placing a crown on it.
For the treatment, it is important that the root of the tooth is not damaged. At the end of the process, the patient’s oral health will improve and he will have a more beautiful and natural smile.
The process begins with the patient’s dental examination and continues with the taking of an impression of the tooth to be treated, followed by the trimming of the tooth and the exposure of the root.
Using the impression taken, a crown is made from the chosen material and placed on the patient’s chosen tooth. After treatment, the patient should take good care of their oral health and visit the dentist regularly.
Consultation & Preparation
At the beginning of the treatment, the patient and the dentist discuss the patient’s expectations and needs. Thus, the treatment method is determined and which teeth will be fitted with crowns is determined.
The patient’s oral structure is examined, information about oral health is obtained and the patient’s suitability for treatment is determined. If suitable, the patient is prepared for treatment.
In the tooth preparation step, the area to be treated is anesthetized and put to sleep.
Impression & Trim The Tooth
The dentist will trim your tooth and remove some of the enamel to allow the veneer to fit properly. This process is to create a foundation on the tooth for the crown to fit properly.
Your dentist will take a mold of your tooth and send it to the laboratory to make a crown.
Placing The Temporary Crown
It usually takes 2-3 weeks to make the crown. For this reason, a temporary crown will be placed on your diseased tooth. The patient is given instructions on how to care for the temporary crown.
Permanent Crown Placement
After the laboratory has finished the crown, the patient is called to the clinic. The temporary crown is removed from the diseased tooth and the permanent crown is placed with the help of adhesive.
After Care
The patient is given care instructions for the newly placed crown. A follow-up visit may be scheduled to ensure the crown is functioning properly and the patient is comfortable.

Types of Dental Crowns

Metal Crowns
Metal crowns are one of the longest-lasting types of dental crowns. It is made from gold, palladium, nickel, or chromium-cobalt alloys.

Since it does not contain metal, it offers a natural appearance and is very durable.
