How Are Dental Crowns Made?

Dental Implants in Chicago

You might recognize porcelain veneers, dental crowns, and other cosmetic dentistry treatments, but how exactly do they work? Take a look at this video clip if you would like to find out how dental crowns are made.

Today’s dental crowns are safe and comfortable, and they are made to match the color of your natural teeth. After your dentist takes a mold of your mouth, your dental technician can sculpt your new crown out of a wax material. A machine will scan and drill the crown so that it fits properly in your mouth, and an oven will harden and shrink the restoration. After this process is complete, your dentist can place your crown.
