Dental Crowns

When Are Dental Crowns Needed?

• Severe Decay: When a tooth is extensively decayed and cannot be effectively treated with a filling, a crown can protect the remaining structure and restore functionality.

• Cracked or Fractured Teeth: Crowns are used to cover and stabilize teeth that are cracked or fractured, preventing further damage and potential tooth loss.

• Root Canal Treatment: After a root canal, a tooth can become brittle. A crown is placed over the treated tooth to reinforce it and protect it from future damage.

• Cosmetic Enhancements: Crowns can improve the appearance of discolored, misshapen, or otherwise unattractive teeth, enhancing your smile.

• Dental Implants: Crowns are placed on dental implants to replace missing teeth, providing a natural-looking and functional solution.

The Dental Crown Process

1. Initial Consultation: Your dentist will examine your tooth and take X-rays to determine if a crown is the best solution. They will discuss the options for materials and the procedure.

2. Tooth Preparation: The affected tooth is reshaped to accommodate the crown. Impressions of the tooth are taken to create a custom crown that fits perfectly.

3. Temporary Crown: A temporary crown may be placed to protect the prepared tooth while your permanent crown is being fabricated.

4. Crown Placement: Once the permanent crown is ready, it is carefully placed over the prepared tooth and adjusted for fit, shape, and color. The crown is then permanently cemented in place.

Care and Maintenance

• Oral Hygiene: Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly to keep the area around the crown clean and healthy.

• Regular Check-Ups: Visit your dentist for regular check-ups to ensure the crown remains in good condition and address any concerns.

• Avoiding Hard Foods: While crowns are durable, avoid chewing on hard foods or objects that could damage the crown.
