You may need a crown due to:

  • too big of a cavity to fill
  • cracked tooth
  • post root canal in order to protect the area
  • cover any tooth that is discolored. 
 

 

Dental Crown Steps

First, your dentist will remove the outer layer of your tooth. Secondly, he will make an impression of your mouth. Then, if the crown is not ready to be put on, you may need to get a temporary one. Lastly, when you are your dentist are happy with the way it looks, it is ready to be cemented onto your tooth.
