Dental Crown What to Expect
Dental Crowns in Randallstown MD
Dr. Desbordes can design and fit your custom dental crown in as little as two visits to our Baltimore dentist office. Your first visit with Dr. Desbordes will be a one-on-one consultation to determine the most conservative and effective treatment plan to resolve your oral health needs.
If we determine that you need more than a crown to restore your oral health, we will make recommendations. We will never recommend unnecessary treatments and will work within your budget.
Dr. Desbordes will take a dental impression to ensure a natural, custom fit. The dental crown will then be color-matched to your existing teeth, giving you a natural result. Many patients may benefit from the use of porcelain crowns because of their durability and natural aesthetic. While the impression is fabricated at a dental lab, patients will receive a temporary crown to protect the tooth from any further damage.
During the second visit, your new crown will be securely attached to your tooth, giving it a beautiful new finish. Dr. Desbordes will supply patients with the information to properly maintain their new dental crowns. With proper oral hygiene routines, your permanent restoration can last for 15 years without needing to be replaced. In the rare event where a crown falls out, Dr. Desbordes will immediately address the issue with a replacement.
