Over the years providing dental care to our family of patients, I often hear the confusion when discussing these dental terms. For the most part dental \u201ccaps\u201d and \u201ccrowns\u201d are synonymous, and mean the same thing.<\/p>\nOver the years providing dental care to our family of patients, I often hear the confusion when discussing these dental terms.

A dental crown is often made of a very strong covering material that looks like a tooth and is cemented over a tooth base. The tooth base needs to be shaped a particular way, removed of weakened tooth structure, as well as cleared free of any decay (cavities).<\/p>\n
There are several ways that these dental crowns are made. During a one-visit CAD\/CAM type of crown service<\/a>, that same day, a new crown is bonded or \u2018cemented\u2019 onto the tooth. In a traditional or non- CAD\/CAM crown procedure, a temporary \u201ccap\u201d is made. Several weeks later, the patient comes in, the temporary is removed, and the new custom crown is cemented onto the tooth base.<\/p>\n How Our Naperville Dentist Saves You Time with One Visit Crowns<\/a><\/p>\n If you would like to start the new year fresh by completing a recommended crown treatment early on, or interested in learning more about our high technology CREREC, one visit crown procedure, visit our Naperville dental practice, or call us at 630-369-5225.
