Dental Crowns From an Experienced Dentist in Litchfield Park, AZ
Do you have a tooth that’s damaged, misshapen, or discolored? In many cases, dentists are able to avoid the need for extraction by applying a dental crown, which is a type of permanent dental restoration. Burns Dentistry proudly offers tooth crowns for patients in Litchfield Park, Arizona, and the surrounding area.
What Does Dental Crowning Involve?
Also known as a “cap,” a dental crown is a prosthetic tooth that’s placed over an existing tooth (crowns are different from bridges and implants, which are instead used to replace missing teeth). A dentist will file down the damaged tooth, take an impression to send to a lab, and apply a temporary crown. Once the permanent crown is created, the dentist will remove the temporary one and use dental cement to install the permanent one.
