What Is a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns are restorations crafted from durable materials like porcelain or ceramic to cover the entire visible surface of a single tooth. Once in place, it seamlessly restores the original function and appearance of the tooth and protects it from further damage.
Dr. Korte may recommend a crown when a tooth is severely decayed, fractured, weakened, or cosmetically flawed in a way that isn’t easily corrected with another procedure. They’re also commonly placed after root canal treatment to reinforce the treated tooth.
For patients with significant damage or tooth decay, crowns offer a reliable way to protect vulnerable teeth, improve function, and enhance overall appearance.
The Process of Getting a Dental Crown
At our Chaska, MN practice, the process of designing and crafting a custom dental crown typically requires two appointments. This allows us to thoroughly plan your treatment and ensure the final restoration meets your needs and is built to last.
During your first visit, we’ll capture precise digital impressions of the affected tooth and place a temporary crown to protect it. Your permanent crown will then be custom-fabricated by a trusted dental laboratory.
Once it’s ready, you’ll return for a second visit, where we’ll check the fit, make any final adjustments, and securely bond the crown in place. You’ll leave our office with a fully-restored tooth that looks and feels as good as the original.
