If you have weak teeth that need restoration, a dental crown may be what you’re looking for. A dental crown has the ability to strengthen a tooth by placing a large filling when there isn’t enough tooth enamel remaining to hold the filling. Dr. Richard Steinfeld, DMD offers this service at his practice and would like to let you know what to expect if you require one.
If you are a candidate for a dental crown, Dr. Steinfeld will need to prepare the tooth for the crown first. This may involve taking a few X-rays to check the roots of the tooth receiving the crown and surrounding bone. Once an impression of the tooth is made, a temporary crown will be placed while the final restoration is created in a dental laboratory. Once the permanent crown is ready, the patient will have their final appointment to have it placed.
If you have questions or concerns regarding dental crowns, please give us a call. To learn about services provided at the practice, visit www.rasdmd.com for more information. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Richard Steinfeld, DMD, in Lake Worth, FL, call 561-965-3933.
