What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is often referred to as a cap. It is carefully made to fit comfortably over the chewing surface of the tooth and cover the entire structure. Crowns can be made out of metals like gold or tooth-colored materials like ceramic and porcelain. Compared to other restorations, dental crowns are very versatile and can be used to address a variety of problems. In particular, they’re recommended for teeth that have experienced severe decay, broken teeth that need extra support, teeth that have been treated with root canal therapy, single dental implants meant to replace missing teeth, dental bridges that need support from adjacent teeth, and single teeth that are badly stained or misshapen.
The Process of Getting a Dental Crown
Getting a dental crown takes two appointments on average. It’s a relatively straightforward process overall. We begin by examining the tooth to make sure that a crown is a viable option. Then we take away a thin layer of enamel to make room for the restoration. Once the tooth is ready, we take an impression of your mouth as it currently is. A dental laboratory will use the said impression to create a crown; this can take a few weeks, so you’ll be given a temporary crown to wear in the meantime. This will give you a chance to adjust to the way a crown feels in your mouth so that you’ll be ready for the permanent crown to be attached to your smile at the final appointment.
The Benefits of Getting a Dental Crown
After receiving your dental crown, you’ll be able to enjoy many different benefits, such as the following:
- The ability to chew many different foods more comfortably
- A reduced risk of further dental issues
- A customized restoration that looks and feels natural in the mouth
- A long restoration lifespan of 15 years or more with the right maintenance
