“How do they prepare your tooth for a crown?”

When a tooth is damaged, to receive a crown, dentists have to shape the tooth in such a way that the crown will not be bigger than the original tooth. We have to reduce about 2 mm from the tooth. That space will allow for the restorative material of the crown. If the crown is going to be "tooth color," we must make sure that the material will be strong and esthetic, so 2 mm is the space needed for durability and beauty of the final crown.Normally, the dentist has to use a local anesthetic to make sure that while preparing the tooth there will be NO pain. We use a high speed drill and new diamond coated burs to give the proper alignment to the preparation. A final impression (digital or with a precise material) is taken so we can make the new crown in the laboratory with a precise fit.

The dentist will shape down the tooth to accept the type of crown that he is recommending for where your tooth is.

Porcelain crown preparation, requires 1.5 millimetre reduction from top of the tooth and the sides, a 360 degree reduction, removal of tooth, so it will substituted by laboratory fabricated permanent crown. After crown preparation the dentist will be needing to take impressions, after that the dentist will be making a temporary dental crown, till your permanent crown gets ready by the dental lab.
