If the dental examination shows that you\u2019re a good candidate for dental crowns, the dentist will start the treatment by numbing the damaged tooth. The next step is to prepare the site and take impressions (for custom crowns). Custom-fabricated crowns require at least two visits to give the lab enough time to create the custom crown. But a temporary crown can be placed in the first visit to prevent tooth sensitivity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crowns typically last for 20 years or longer, which means that they are made from tough and durable materials that are also wear and stain-resistant. That said, the exposed section of your natural tooth &#8211; that has not been enclosed by the tooth cap &#8211; is still susceptible to decay if you don\u2019t exercise good oral hygiene. It\u2019s important that you brush and floss your teeth every day, and visit the dentist every 6 months for professional cleanings to ensure optimal oral health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have any questions or concerns about dental crowns, please contact your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bakersfielddentaloffice.com\/\">dentist in Bakersfield CA<\/a> to schedule your visit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most kinds of tooth damage, including decay, chips, and fractures can be repaired with dental crowns.
