Depending on the extent of dental damage, Dr. April Winkler may suggest that a patient receive a crown to repair a tooth. Typically, a crown is used when there is moderate or significant damage to a tooth. The process for crowns at Winkler Dental Center requires that portions of the remaining tooth be removed so that just a small fraction of the tooth remains. It is important to note that since a portion of the tooth is removed, this is not a reversible procedure. After this, the porcelain crown is bonded to the remaining root and fixed in place. When the process is finished, you will have a new tooth that looks and feels just like the original.
When a patient comes to our dental office, we always try to make sure that any crown procedure is an anxiety-free experience. Our dentist will sit down with you to make sure you understand the entire process and any risks associated with the treatment. We will also make sure that you understand how to properly care for crowns since there may be some questions. Our personalized and friendly environment is perfect for those looking for a dental crown in Munising, Michigan.
