What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its strength and appearance. Crowns are made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, and metal, and are custom-designed to match the color and shape of your natural teeth.
Crowns are often recommended for:
- Protecting weak or fractured teeth
- Covering large fillings
- Restoring severely worn-down teeth
- Improving the appearance of a discolored tooth
How Dental Crowns Work
The process of getting a dental crown typically involves a few steps:
Initial Consultation
During your consultation, your dentist will evaluate your tooth and discuss the best options for restoring it. X-rays may be taken to assess the damage and determine if a crown is the right solution.
1
Tooth Preparation
Your dentist will clean and shape the damaged tooth to make space for the crown. This step may require a local anesthetic to ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure.
2
Impression
An impression of your tooth is taken to create a custom crown that fits perfectly. If necessary, a temporary crown will be placed to protect your tooth while the permanent crown is being made.
3
Crown Placement
Once your custom crown is ready, your dentist will remove the temporary crown and place the permanent one over the prepared tooth. The crown will be secured in place with dental cement.
