How Are Ceramic Crowns Fitted?
Fitting a ceramic crown involves several precise steps to ensure a perfect, comfortable, and durable fit. At Sho Dental Laboratory, we use advanced techniques and high-quality materials to create a seamless restoration.
Initial Preparation and Impression
The process of fitting a ceramic crown begins with an initial dental examination. The dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any decay or old fillings and shaping it to accommodate the crown. This is typically done under local anesthesia to ensure the patient’s comfort. Once the tooth is prepared, the dentist will take an impression using either traditional putty or advanced digital scanning technology.
At Sho Dental Laboratory, we use these precise impressions or scans to design the ceramic crown tailored to the patient's tooth. The design is created with high accuracy, ensuring that the crown fits perfectly with the surrounding teeth and matches the patient's bite. After the crown is designed and fabricated, the dentist will schedule a follow-up appointment for the fitting.
Cementing the Crown and Final Adjustments
During the fitting appointment, the dentist will carefully place the ceramic crown onto the prepared tooth to check the fit, shape, and color. Adjustments may be made to ensure the crown aligns with the bite and feels comfortable. Once the fit is perfect, the crown is permanently cemented into place. The dental professional will ensure that the cement fully sets and that the patient’s bite feels natural.
At Sho Dental Laboratory, we ensure that the ceramic crowns we create are precisely crafted for optimal fit and appearance, helping patients regain both function and confidence in their smiles.
