What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that fits over the entire portion of a tooth that is visible above the gumline. It is a custom-made restoration whose job is to protect a damaged tooth while also restoring its function, strength, and appearance.
Dental crowns can be used in a number of different situations. For example, we may recommend that you receive one if:
- You have a cracked or badly decayed tooth.
- You have recently undergone root canal therapy.
- You are missing one or more teeth.
- You have teeth that have become worn down due to bruxism (grinding and clenching).
The Process of Getting a Dental Crown
To start the crown process, we will first prepare your tooth by removing a bit of its enamel. This step is necessary to ensure that your restoration will fit well. Next, we will use advanced scanning equipment to capture a digital impression of your mouth. We will design your crown using state-of-the-art software, and then our in-house milling unit will create your permanent restoration out of top-quality ceramic. Once it is ready, we will verify its fit before attaching it to your tooth.
This one-visit process is superior to the traditional process for creating crowns, which requires at least two appointments and makes it necessary for patients to wear a temporary restoration while a laboratory creates a permanent one.
Benefits of Getting a Dental Crown
After you get a dental crown, you can expect to enjoy a number of benefits, including:
- Enhanced function. You treated tooth should be able to function normally and without pain.
- Beautiful aesthetics. Our crowns are carefully designed to look as lifelike as possible. Onlookers may not even notice that you had to undergo some dental work!
- Save money. A dental crown can prevent extractions, meaning you will not have to pay for expensive tooth replacement.
- A crown may last for 10 years or longer.
- Easy maintenance. Caring for a crown is similar to caring for natural teeth.
