What is a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns are time-tested restorations that have been around in one form or another for thousands of years. A single crown can completely cover your tooth to bring it back to its original size and shape. Not only can it protect the tooth, but it also strengthens it to the point where it can safely be used for chewing again. In many cases, your crown can be made out of material that resembles enamel so that the restored tooth still looks natural.
You may be a good candidate for a dental crown if you have a badly fractured tooth or if you have a particularly large cavity. It may also be necessary to place a crown after a root canal treatment, or we might attach one to a dental implant to replace a single missing tooth.
The Dental Crown Process
Having a dental crown placed typically involves these steps:
- Our team will examine your mouth to confirm that you’re a candidate for a crown.
- Small amounts of enamel will be filed away from your tooth to create space for the restoration to help it stay in place.
- We will take an impression of the prepared tooth and the tooth below it. This is to ensure that your crown fits properly and doesn’t cause problems for your bite.
- A temporary crown will be placed on your tooth.
- A dental lab will create your permanent crown and send it to our office for placement.
- The final restoration will be attached to your tooth, and we’ll give you instructions for taking care of it.
The Benefits of Getting a Dental Crown
It’s no surprise that dental crowns have been used for so long. After all, there are plenty of advantages to having them placed, such as:
- Keeping Your Teeth Safe: Leaving any kind of dental damage exposed could cause it to grow worse, but a dental crown can help ensure that your tooth stays protected.
- Letting You Chew Normally Again: Once your damaged tooth is restored, it will no longer be an obstacle to enjoying your favorite foods.
- Improving Your Smile: Covering up dental damage with a natural-looking crown can make it easier for you to show off your grin without worrying about its appearance.
- Durability:Dental crowns can last a long time. Well-maintained ones might even be able to stay in the mouth for 15 years or more.
