Drs. Bickford and Shirley at Distinctive Dentistry place crowns for a variety of different reasons. Regardless of why your tooth requires a crown, we find that patients feel better about the procedure when they know exactly what will happen. With this in mind, we invite you to read on and learn how dental crowns in Dallas, GA, are placed.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>So why do I need a dental crown?<\/h2>\n<p>Dental crowns are the tooth restoration of choice when you have a tooth that might otherwise require extraction if not for the protection of a crown. For example, a crown can be used to secure a tooth with a deep crack that threatens to split the tooth. If you\u2019ve had root canal therapy, then your dentist in Dallas, GA, will complete the procedure with a crown. Dental crowns are also used for cosmetic purposes as well as when a bridge is needed to replace missing teeth or a large filling has weakened a tooth. If you need to restore strength, structure and functionality to a tooth, then a dental crown may be your best choice.<\/p>\n<h2>What happens when I get a dental crown?<\/h2>\n<p>At Distinctive Dentistry, the type of dental crown Dr. Bickford or Dr. Shirley chooses will depend on which of your teeth needs a crown and your unique smile. Whenever possible, we prefer to use porcelain or all ceramic crowns because the material and color blend in so seamlessly with your other teeth. These are also solid materials that you can count on to last for many years.<\/p>\n<p>In most situations, your dental crown in Dallas, GA, will only require two conveniently scheduled visits to our office. At your first appointment, one of the dentists will anesthetize the tooth and surrounding tissue before beginning your procedure. Then, any decay is removed and the sides and chewing surface of the tooth are filed down to make room for the crown. Once this is done, we take a molded impression of the tooth that our dental lab uses to custom craft your crown. In the meantime, we\u2019ll place a temporary crown on your prepared tooth.<\/p>\n<p>In just a couple of weeks, you\u2019ll return to see your dentist in Dallas, GA, who will remove the temporary and attach your permanent crown so your tooth is preserved and strengthened.<\/p>\n<h2>For a Dental Crown in Dallas, GA, Call Our Office Today<\/h2>\n<p>If you know that you have a tooth that needs a dental crown, then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bickfordandshirley.com\/contact-us.html\">contact Distinctive Dentistry in Dallas, GA<\/a>, to schedule a consultation.
