Dental crowns are one of the most common restorations used in dentistry today, and for good reason. They are incredibly versatile and can be used in a number of different oral health situations to restore not just the function and health of a tooth, but also its appearance. At Shadowridge Dental Group, patients in San Marcos, CA and neighboring communities such as Oceanside, Carlsbad, Escondido, and Encinitas can rely on our team of dental professionals to provide porcelain crowns that look, feel, and function just like a normal tooth.
Getting a crown placed
To get a dental crown placed, you will first come into the office to have your tooth prepared for the crown and to take dental impressions, which are used to custom-fabricate your crown in a dental laboratory. At that point, we will place a temporary crown to protect your teeth while your new crown is being made. When it is ready, you will come back in to the office and after checking its fit and making any minor adjustments necessary, we will bond the crown on to your tooth with a strong dental cement.
