Caps

Dental crowns or caps are dental prosthetics intended to replace a damaged or lost tooth. Most dentists recommend crowns as they are efficient, durable, and aesthetically pleasing since they imitate your natural tooth colour and shape. Aside from restoring or replacing a damaged tooth, dental crowns are also necessary to:

Prevent a weak tooth from breaking
Support a tooth that is already covered by a large filling
Cover discoloured, malformed or other imperfect teeth
Support dental bridges
Cover a crown on the top of a dental implant
Cosmetically enhance your smile

Dental crowns, also known as tooth caps, are an efficient and durable way to replace a damaged or lost tooth. They are also aesthetically pleasing as they imitate the natural colour and shape of your teeth.

First, we conduct a dental exam and may also request a dental X-ray to detect irregularities and check for decay or infection. If we find any diseases present, we might recommend that you undergo a root canal procedure before having the dental crowns placed.

On your next visit, we will put you under sedation to help you calm down, prepare your tooth and file it down to fit in the tooth cap. If your tooth has lost most of its structure, this will require more effort. This would require bonding the tooth with filling materials and scanning the tooth to get an impression. Then, we will send it to the dental lab where your crown will be fabricated.

After a few weeks, we will receive your dental crowns and arrange for you to return to our office so we can apply them to your prepared tooth and enhance your smile. To learn more about this procedure and if it is right for you, call to book an appointment with us today.

Choosing a dental clinic can be challenging, especially when you have no idea what you are looking for. Look no further than Wortley Road Dental Clinic if you’re looking for a new dental clinic in your area. To help you decide, here are the questions you can ask them.

What to ask

One of the most brilliant things you can do for your dental health is to be an active participant in your care. This means asking questions and getting all the information you need to make informed decisions about your oral health.

1. Do you offer a wide range of services?

Dental clinics should provide a variety of dental services. It will be best to find a doctor who can provide treatments other than those you currently need. This will save you time. In addition, you will not have to find a new dentist if your dental needs change.

2. Are your dentists experienced?

When it comes to oral health, nothing beats experience. Expert dentists will provide more effective and desirable results. Moreover, you need to find someone who will offer accurate diagnosis and appropriate solutions to your dental problems.

3. How accessible is your dental clinic?

Being busy can make it hard to schedule a dentist appointment. Therefore, choose a clinic near your residence or workplace. In this way, you can maximize your time without sacrificing other priorities.

4. Can I use my insurance policy to pay for your dental services?

You should verify that the dentist on your list accepts your dental insurance. You should also ask them about their payment policy and structure. By doing so, you will know ahead of time what the billing procedure will be if you decide to seek care from that dentist.
