A dental crown (also known as a tooth crown) is a sort of dental cap that is made to cover the top of your tooth. A dental crown is meant to restore your tooth’s normal size, shape, and function. Sometimes a dental crown is also used to strengthen a tooth that has undergone a root canal or large filling to avoid future damage.
Dental crowns are an economic and helpful dental option to treat a number of different dental problems including:
We offer various options for crown materials, such as:
The choice of dental crown material used will depend on your condition, different dental needs, or goals. Porcelain is the most popular material for dental crowns because it can blend easily to look like your natural teeth. Porcelain and ceramic is also a good option if you have any allergies to different types of metal.
Dental crowns typically involve a process of covering all cusps of your tooth or the majority of the tooth surface. Our dental crown procedure will depend on the number of dental crowns you need, overall cosmetic goals, and function. Our dental crown process can be done in as little as two visits:
Our local dentist will start with a preparation appointment. During the preparation appointment, our local dentist will number your tooth (or teeth if multiple crowns are needed), then shape it to fit a crown properly.
At this same appointment, you’ll be fitted with a temporary crown that you will wear for the next two weeks while your crown is being made.
During your second dental crown appointment, the temporary dental crowns are removed and the crown is then permanently cemented to your tooth (or teeth if multiple crowns were needed).
Dental crowns are strong, durable, and if taken care of properly, should last you a very long time. In addition to following proper dental hygiene habits like brushing and flossing your teeth twice per day, we recommend the following maintenance tips to ensure you’re taking good care of your dental crown(s):
