Smile makeover with new crown
Local anesthesia will be used to numb the area so that Dr. Woodyard may prepare the tooth for bonding. This includes removing areas of decay and reshaping the surface of the tooth to make room for the crown. Temporary cement will be used to place the temporary crown and your bite will be checked to ensure proper functionality of the temporary crown.
At the second appointment, Dr. Woodyard will remove the temporary crown and clean the surface with a special solution that makes for optimal bonding of the permanent crown. Your bite will again be checked to ensure ideal functionality before the custom crown is bonded in place by a permanent adhesive.
Dr. Woodyard will provide you with care instructions on how to extend the life of your new dental crown. As always, you can expect that he will urge you to practice the proper oral hygiene and preventative care treatments in an effort to extend the life of your newly restored smile. With the proper care, your new dental crown should serve you well for many years to come.
