What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a small, customized restoration that fits over the visible portion of a tooth. Also referred to as a cap, it is often made out of traditional metal; however, advancements in dentistry now make it possible for dentists such as ourselves to provide more aesthetically pleasing options like tooth-colored porcelain and ceramic.
Most dental crowns require at least two visits to our office to complete, and they can last 10-15 years with optimal maintenance and care.
Do I Need Dental Crowns?
To know if you need a dental crown, you must first schedule an appointment with a member of our team. After a thorough examination and diagnostic imaging, we can determine if a crown will be what you need to address your tooth decay or broken tooth. The most common reason these restorations are recommended include:
- Cracked teeth or other forms of severe damage
- Suffering damage due to one or more fillings expanding and harming teeth
- Undergoing root canal and need protection for the tooth
- Receiving dental implants
- Severe decay that extends beyond the tooth enamel and reaches the dentin
The Dental Crown Process
The process of receiving a dental crown starts with a thorough examination by our restorative dentist. After creating a complete treatment plan, the procedure will begin by cleaning the tooth and removing any decayed or damaged portions of the structure.
Once finished, we will fill the tooth with a tooth-colored material so that a tight seal is created. We’ll then alter the tooth to ensure a proper fit once the finalized crown is ready for placement. We’ll then take impressions of your teeth so that lab technicians can work to build out your crown(s).
During the time between your appointments, you’ll be required to wear a temporary crown to protect the vulnerable structure underneath. Once finished, you’ll return to our office to receive your finalized restoration after removing the temporary one. You’ll immediately begin to feel better about your smile.
