Dental Crowns

Dental Crowns

  • What are Dental Crowns?
    A dental crown is a cap that fits over the top of a tooth, encasing it completely. It is designed to restore the tooth’s appearance, strength, and function. Crowns can be made from several materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination (porcelain-fused-to-metal), with porcelain and ceramic being the most popular for their natural tooth-like appearance.
  • When are Dental Crowns Needed?

    Dental crowns are commonly recommended for:

    • Severely Decayed Teeth: When a large portion of a tooth has decayed and a filling isn’t sufficient, a crown can restore the tooth’s function and prevent further damage.
    • Cracked or Chipped Teeth: Crowns are used to protect and strengthen teeth that have been fractured, preventing further breakage.
    • After a Root Canal: When a tooth has had a root canal, it becomes more fragile. A crown is placed over the tooth to protect it from breaking and restore its full function.
    • Cosmetic Improvements: Crowns can be used to improve the appearance of misshapen, discolored, or worn-down teeth, helping create a more uniform, attractive smile.
    • Dental Implants: After a dental implant is placed, a crown is placed on top to act as a replacement tooth.
  • Types of Dental Crowns
    • Porcelain/Ceramic Crowns: These crowns are most popular for their ability to closely match the color of natural teeth, making them ideal for front teeth or visible areas.
    • Metal Crowns: Made from gold or other alloys, metal crowns are extremely durable and are often used for back teeth where strength is more important than appearance.
    • Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns: These crowns combine the strength of metal with the natural appearance of porcelain, offering a good balance of durability and aesthetics.
  • The Benefits of Dental Crowns
    • Restores Strength and Function: Crowns restore the natural function of a tooth, allowing you to chew, bite, and speak comfortably without worrying about tooth damage.
    • Durable and Long-Lasting: Crowns are built to last, with porcelain and ceramic crowns offering great durability, and metal crowns providing even greater strength.
    • Aesthetic Appeal: Porcelain and ceramic crowns can be made to match the color and appearance of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless, natural look.
    • Protection: Crowns protect weakened or decayed teeth from further damage, preventing the need for more invasive treatments later.
