A dental crown covers a tooth that is damaged, discolored, or misshapen. The crown fits over the remaining portion of the tooth and is cemented in place. A crown can be used as the visible portion of an implant restoration to replace one missing tooth. These restorations serve both cosmetic and restorative purposes.
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over your damaged tooth. Crowns restore the look and function of your teeth, as well as the overall appearance of your smile. Many patients who come in for dental crowns want to restore their smile after it has been damaged from an accident, tooth decay, or aging. A crown will not only restore your tooth, but it can also give you a beautiful smile. A crown will completely change the appearance of your tooth and your smile, giving you back a confident smile that you will love to show off.
Crowns are a type of dental restoration that completely caps a tooth. They are often used when a tooth is severely decayed, broken, or worn. Crowns are also used to anchor dental bridges.
A dental crown can be made from several materials, such as porcelain, gold, or metal alloys. The type of material chosen may depend on the amount of strength or durability needed.
⦁Porcelain or composite crowns are matched to your natural teeth, so they look very natural. A porcelain crown can last a long time with proper care and is often resistant to staining.
⦁Gold, silver, or stainless-steel crowns are strong and durable and are a good option for molars. Gold crowns withstand biting forces well, so they are often used as a long-lasting restoration for teeth in the back of the mouth.
Before your procedure, the treatment site will be numbed with a local anesthetic. Then, your tooth will be prepped so the dental crown will fit properly. After your tooth is prepared, an impression of your tooth will be taken. A temporary crown is placed on top of the prepared tooth while your permanent crown is being fabricated. When your permanent crown is ready, you will return to our office, and the crown will be cemented into place.
After your dental crowns are custom-created and fitted, we will schedule you for a follow-up visit. This visit will be scheduled within four to six weeks of your initial appointment. During your follow-up visit, we will check the fit and color of your dental crowns, as well as make sure that your gums are healing properly.
Dental crowns typically last anywhere from five to 15 years. The longevity of the dental crown will depend on how well you care for it. Be sure to brush and floss your teeth regularly, as well as come in for routine dental cleanings and checkups.
