What Is a Tooth-Supported Crown?
A tooth-supported crown is a permanent, non-removable restoration that replaces weak, damaged, or unsightly tooth structure. The process to get one is surprisingly simple and consists of three main steps:
1. Shaping the Tooth - The dentist reshapes the affected tooth to prepare it for the crown.
2. Taking an Impression or Digital Scan - This step ensures that the crown will fit perfectly.
3. Cementing the Final Crown - Finally, the crown is securely placed on the prepared tooth.
