What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is sometimes called a “cap” because it covers a tooth. Specifically, it is placed over the entire portion of a tooth that protrudes above the gumline. A crown’s job is to protect and strengthen the underlying dentition, reducing the risk of future harm and allowing it to provide reliable, pain-free function.
Crowns can be made of various materials, but in our practice, we tend to use ceramic because of its strong resemblance to natural tooth enamel.
Crowns may be used to address a number of types of dental damage, including:
- Cracks and chips
- Misshapen teeth
- Weak teeth
- Teeth that have been treated with root canal therapy
- Severely discolored teeth
The Process of Getting a Dental Crown
The dental crown process usually takes two appointments. During your first visit, we will prepare your tooth. Typically, this involves removing some of its enamel so it will fit well beneath its restoration. Once it is ready, we will use our advanced technology to capture a highly accurate digital impression of your teeth.
You will wear a temporary crown while a laboratory uses the impression to create your permanent one. Once it is ready, we will double-check that it lives up to our strict quality standards before we attach it to your tooth.
The Benefits of Getting a Dental Crown
If you choose to get a dental crown, you may experience several significant benefits:
- Improved dental function. A crowned tooth can function similarly to teeth that were never damaged.
- No need for an extraction. In many cases, crowns can preserve damaged teeth, allowing you to avoid the expense of tooth removal followed by tooth replacement.
- Less pain. By protecting a damaged tooth, a crown can reduce or even eliminate sensitivity and pain.
- We carefully shade-match our ceramic crowns so they blend in seamlessly with nearby teeth.
- With proper care, a crown has the potential to last for 10 – 15 years or longer.
