Many patients express concern and ask me, “What is a dental crown? How does it look? Is the process painful?” Here are a few photos from a recent crown procedure I completed. The models show how a dental crown—a ceramic covering placed over a tooth—helps protect it from progressing decay, fractures, and the need for more extensive treatment.
As you can see, our ceramist added subtle white streaks to match the natural color and shade of the patient’s existing teeth. We previously restored the premolar (the tooth in front of the molar), and you can see how both teeth were brought back to their natural appearance.
When the patient returned for the fitting and placement of the new crown, it required zero adjustment because we use the latest technology, and my assistants and I have truly mastered this process. While minor adjustments are occasionally needed, about 90% of our crowns fit perfectly on the first try due to our precise workflow. The procedure is typically painless, as it is performed under profound anesthesia. This restoration now looks great and will last for many years.
