Dental Crowns: Restoring Strength and Aesthetics to Your Smile
Dental crowns are a highly effective solution for restoring teeth that are injured, discolored, or cracked. By fitting over the affected tooth, crowns provide protection against further damage while enhancing both function and appearance. They can also serve as a replacement for missing teeth when combined with dental bridges or implants.
Why Choose a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns, also known as caps, are custom-made restorations designed to cover and protect weakened teeth. They are typically made from durable materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or noble metal alloys, ensuring both longevity and a natural look. Crowns are often recommended when a tooth has suffered significant structural loss.
When Is a Dental Crown Recommended?
A dental crown may be the right solution if you have:
- A broken or fractured filling
- Extensive decay compromising the tooth's structure
- A cracked or chipped tooth
- Increased tooth sensitivity
- Discoloration that affects your smile
- Had a root canal treatment and need additional protection
What to Expect During the Dental Crown Procedure
The dental crown procedure typically requires two visits:
- Initial Consultation & Tooth Preparation: The dentist will assess your tooth, reshape it to accommodate the crown, and take an impression for custom fabrication.
- Temporary Crown Placement: A temporary crown will be placed to protect the tooth while your permanent crown is being crafted at a dental lab.
- Final Crown Placement: At your second visit, the dentist will fit and bond the permanent crown securely, ensuring a seamless blend with your natural teeth.
