8 Crown Prep
Manda Ulibarri
Your dentist will examine your mouth. This will include evaluating the tooth that needs the crown and the area around it. They may take X-rays of the tooth. The X-rays will give your dentist a better view of the roots of the tooth, as well as the surrounding bone.
Your dentist will probably need to file, shave down, or remove part of the outer layer of the tooth. The amount can vary. They will use a tool to file down the top and sides of your tooth, making it smaller and smoother. There may also be some need to build up a broken-down tooth and strengthen it so it can support the crown.
Your dentist will send the specific measurements and details from the digital images to the equipment that will actually make the crown. Using the CAD/CAM software, they will create and design your crown model.
After you get your crown installed, you may have some discomfort or mild pain afterward. This should only last a little while, and you can manage it with over-the-counter pain relievers. If it lasts for more than a couple of weeks, though, call your dentist.

Insert the darker side of the PrepCheck tab between the preparation and the opposing dentition. Pull or tug on the PrepCheck tab. The PrepCheck should slide out with very little resistance. If it does not, proceed to step 2. (If the tab cannot be removed or is difficult to remove, the adequate reduction has not been achieved.)
Insert the lighter side of the PrepCheck between the preparation and the opposing dentition. Note: The lighter side contains the powdered marking medium. Ask the patient to tap or grind on the PrepCheck.
Before we determine you need a crown, we first evaluate the tooth that needs restoration. There are many reasons for crown placement, such as fractures, decay, or discoloration. We assess the severity of the issue, the size, and the location of the problem.
To prepare your tooth for a crown, we numb the area with a local anesthetic. We then reshape your tooth to make room for the crown to be placed, while preserving as much of your natural tooth as possible. This may involve reducing the height or width of your tooth.
