Dental crowns are a great option to restore teeth that are weak or fractured but still have the root structure intact. Tooth restoration is a vital part of keeping oral health. Dr. Dennis Morehart, DDS has been repairing the health and the smiles of his patients here at our Enid, OK dental practice.
A dental crown is a cap that goes on top of an existing tooth. The porcelain finished crowns have a natural look to them, so they blend in with the rest of your natural teeth, restoring your smile. To begin applying a crown, Dr. Morehart will file and reshape the enamel of your tooth. An impression of your tooth and the surrounding teeth will be taken and sent to a laboratory so a custom crown can be created. This laboratory process usually takes between two and three weeks, so during that process Dr. Morehart will place a temporary crown. When ready, the crown is then bonded to your tooth permanently. Crowns will usually last about ten to fifteen years with a regular oral hygiene routine.
