Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. Made from materials like porcelain, metals or a combination of both, crowns are a durable and aesthetic solution for teeth that are decayed, cracked, or heavily worn.
The procedure begins with preparing the affected tooth by removing any decay or damaged portions. Impressions are then taken to create a custom crown that fits securely over your tooth. A temporary crown will be placed while the permanent one is being made. Once your custom crown is ready, it will be bonded to your tooth, fully restoring its function and look.
Getting a crown takes two visits: one for tooth preparation and impressions, and another for the final placement. With proper care, your crown can last for many years, provisioning lasting protection and restoring the health of your tooth.
Crowns are made of inert materials that do not deteriorate over time. However, the underlying tooth is still prone to decay and gum disease. Regular check-ups will enable your dentist to detect any problems with your crown and recommend necessary treatment.
Ceramic on the surface may chip or fracture. Avoid chewing excessively-hard substances like ice or bones. Daily brushing and flossing are essential for maintaining good oral health as well as keeping the crown trouble-free. The most vulnerable portion of the crown is the margin or the junction between tooth and crown.
