What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is an advanced restoration that fits completely over the top of a damaged tooth to restore lost structure and function while protecting the remaining healthy tooth from additional damage or decay. Dental crowns can be crafted from a variety of restorative materials depending on the location of the tooth and the extent of the damage. Before beginning your restoration, we will review the various options available and create a personalized plan for fully repairing your smile.
We may recommend patients receive a dental crown in a number of situations, including:
- To repair damaged or decayed teeth
- To replace damaged dental fillings
- To correct and conceal cosmetic flaws
- To protect teeth after root canal treatment
- To replace missing teeth when attached to a dental implant or as part of a fixed bridge restoration
The Dental Crown Process
It will take two visits to place your dental crown. When you come to our office for the first appointment, we will gently reshape the tooth and remove any decayed areas. Once preparations are complete, impressions can be taken. A temporary crown will be attached to the prepared tooth in order to keep it safe. Meanwhile, the impressions will be sent to a trusted dental lab, which is where the crown will be made.
When we receive the completed dental crown, we’ll schedule your second appointment. The temporary restoration will be taken off the tooth so that the permanent one can be placed.
The Benefits of Getting a Dental Crown
Dental crowns have been around for a very long time, and to this day dentists continue to use them to help patients with injured teeth. Having a dental crown placed will allow you to enjoy these important benefits:
- The crown will provide protection for the tooth. This can lower your risk for future dental issues that could potentially call for root canal treatment and other invasive procedures.
- The crown will blend in with your natural teeth. As a result, you will be able to show off your smile without hesitation.
- The crown will make it possible to once again chew a variety of foods comfortably.
- A crown that receives proper maintenance on a daily basis can last for many years at a time.
