Dental Crowns Liverpool dentist

The procedure
To begin with the crowning procedure, your Liverpool dentist will shape your tooth for the crown to fit on it precisely. He will use a local anesthesia to remove decays from the base tooth and grind it until it tapers at an angle for easy slipping of the crown on to it. The dentist will use dental putty which is a material used to take the impression of the tooth. Once the putty is set, this mould is used by the Liverpool dental laboratory as a standard to construct the perfect crown size for your tooth. Through CEREC technology your Liverpool dentist can fit a porcelain crown as a temporary replacement within one hour. Within approximately 3 weeks the crown that will fit permanently on your tooth and its procedure will be completed.

Once the new crown has been fabricated the dentist will assess its fitting, color and cosmetic appearance by removing the temporary crown. A crown made of good quality has an estimated life of 10-15 years.
