A dental crown can be made from a huge array of materials–palladium and gold are just two of many. I make a materials merger when you visit my Chagrin Falls dental office, just so you can tell which hybrid would be best for your crown.

In my office at Chagrin Falls, crowns are not made on the factory line, since every person has something different in mind. I start by studying your tooth. Is it pointed? Does the chip still exist, and how big is that compared to the original tooth? Has there been any cracking or a hairline fracture that nearly destroyed the tooth?

I will then assess all the facts and figures and use the tooth to get a representation of its shape. This information will ultimately end up in the hands of a dental crafting technician, who will handcraft a perfect dental crown.

When you are ready to get started with the installation of a precious metal dental crown, then I may have to remove a small portion of the enamel or outer covering of the tooth. If it's not a metallic Chagrin Falls dental crown, then it may be necessary to find the dentine in the inside of the tooth by grinding it down.

Needless to say, before I do anything, I will discuss with you at length about the pros and cons. Next, once everything has been completely clarified, the final decision is left to you.

Previous to receiving a permanent crown, we'll put in one that is temporary. By doing this, we will make sure that you won't struggle with tooth sensitivity. The moment we finish the permanent crown, I will compare it to the shade of your natural teeth. Moreover, you will be required to sink your teeth together a few times, so I know that the crown came out of the technician's office made right.

Once you tell me that you are completely satisfied, at that point, I will make sure that everything gets wrapped up, and you'll be good to go.
