Another busy day at the office! Me and Sen have been treating a lovely lady from Pangbourne today who decided to have a porcelain bonded crown made for one of her teeth. She originally saw us as she had fractured a back tooth. The tooth was made up of an old amalgam filling, and gave up the ghost when she was eating (the usual suspects are french bread and nuts). She decided to go ahead with having a custom made crown, as this would protect the tooth much better. Think of it as a little crash helmet for your tooth. Sen took photos using the intra-oral camera to show her the condition of the tooth, took impressions, prepared the tooth and the models were sent off to the lab. She will be coming back to see us in 2 weeks to have the crown permently fitted. She did really well today. She was here for an hour and a half, but we did give her 10 minutes down time as she was starting to get tired.
If you have any questions regarding crowns and crown work then please feel free to contact your dentist. We want to kepp you all smiling
