Luckily for you, you\u2019re already a patient at Distinctive Dentistry and they have the expertise in porcelain crowns in Hiram, GA that you need. In this post, learn more about this restorative procedure and how crowns can give your smile the royal treatment you deserve.<\/p>\n<h2><!--more-->What Are Dental Crowns?<\/h2>\n<p>Dr. Jack Bickford and Dr. Bobby Shirley explain that dental crowns are tooth-shaped \u201ccaps\u201d that fit over your existing teeth or a dental implant. They are made of durable, natural-looking porcelain that blends right in with your smile.<\/p>\n<h2>What Problems Do Dental Crowns Treat?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.colgate.com\/en\/us\/oc\/oral-health\/cosmetic-dentistry\/bridges-and-crowns\/article\/what-are-dental-crowns-and-tooth-bridges\">Crowns<\/a> are the superior treatment option for many dental situations. They\u2019re used to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Protect a weak tooth from breaking<\/li>\n<li>Hold a broken tooth that is already together<\/li>\n<li>Repair a tooth that has been worn down<\/li>\n<li>Support a tooth that has a large filling<\/li>\n<li>Correct discoloration and staining<\/li>\n<li>Improve misshapen teeth<\/li>\n<li>Cover a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy<\/li>\n<li>Act as the top portion of a dental implant<\/li>\n<li>Correct cosmetic issues caused by medical or congenital conditions<\/li>\n<li>Improve the appearance of teeth that have been stained by medications<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What Is The Process Of Getting A Dental Crown?<\/h2>\n<p>Having a dental crown placed is a two-step process:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><u>Step One<\/u> \u2013 At your first visit with us, Dr. Bickford and Dr. Shirley will examine the area for your restoration. We may need to take X-rays to check the health of the roots and bones near the structure where we\u2019ll place your crown. We will then use a local anesthetic to numb the area and shape your tooth to prepare it for the cap. We\u2019ll create impressions and then send them to a lab that will create your custom, porcelain crown. At that point, we will affix a temporary crown that you can use until your permanent one is ready.<\/li>\n<li><u>Step Two<\/u> \u2013 Once the lab completes your crown that is custom-designed especially for you, we will remove the temporary crown and cement the permanent one in place. And that\u2019s it \u2013 you\u2019ll be completely done with the process, and you can start showing off your perfect smile again.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Will Getting A Dental Crown Hurt?<\/h2>\n<p>Our team will keep you completely comfortable during the entire process of receiving your dental crown. People often expect the worse when facing an unfamiliar dental procedure, but we\u2019re happy to answer your questions to set you at ease. Dr. Bickford and Dr. Shirley always take the time to educate their patients \u2013 they\u2019ll make you feel calm and relaxed while undergoing treatment.<\/p>\n<p>So, what are you waiting for?
