What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a prosthetic tooth that replaces the part above the gum line, called the crown. It is applied over the natural tooth or a dental implant to restore the tooth’s structure, function, health, and appearance. Dental crowns are generally used in the following scenarios:
- Your tooth has suffered severe decay, and not enough of the tooth structure remains to use filling material.
- The crown of your tooth is cracked, broken, discolored, or misshapen.
- You have a dental implant for a single missing tooth and need a restoration put on top.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Crowns?
As a highly versatile treatment option, dental crowns offer many benefits, including:
- They prevent additional decay.
- They greatly strengthen weak or broken teeth.
- They dramatically improve a tooth’s appearance.
- They can restore decayed, cracked, or damaged teeth.
How Do I Get a Dental Crown?
Once you’ve decided to move forward with treatment, the process for placing it goes as follows:
- We will administer a local anesthetic to ensure you’re comfortable.
- If your tooth is decayed, they will remove the decayed portions, ensuring that the tooth is clean. In other situations, we will prepare the tooth for the crown by removing some of the structure.
- Then we will take impressions of your teeth and design a crown specifically for you. We send this information to a dental lab, where your crown will be custom-made and crafted.
- Before you leave, we place a temporary crown.
- When the final product is finished, you return to our dental office so that your dental crown can be permanently placed.
How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?
The lifespan of your dental crown depends greatly on how well you maintain it. Start by keeping up the crucial oral habits that you have for your natural teeth, including brushing and flossing daily and visiting our dental office twice a year for checkups and cleanings. When you brush your dental crown, pay particular attention to the base to ensure that plaque and bacteria don’t accumulate there. With proper care, your dental crown can last for a decade or far longer!
