What Is a Dental Crown?
A crown is a prosthetic tooth that covers a damaged tooth to restore its strength and integrity or replaces a missing tooth and will renew your ability to speak, chew, and smile with ease. A crown provides the surface area needed to maintain proper bite alignment and prevents uneven wear on your other teeth. Crowns are available in a variety of materials, and we will craft it to fit seamlessly with your smile.
We work with a trusted lab to make your custom crown. This process takes about two weeks, and then you will be able to enjoy a healthy, beautiful smile.
Our Dental Crown Process
A crown may be necessary if your tooth has a crack, a large cavity, you've undergone root canal therapy, or your tooth has been avulsed (knocked out). You can expect us to treat you with the respect and care you deserve, regardless of the reason you need a crown.
We begin our dental crown process with a thorough oral exam of your teeth, jaws, and gums. Once we know the condition of your oral health, we will recommend the type of crown that best fits your situation. If a traditional crown is needed, then it will be created and placed over your natural tooth within two to three visits. If you require a dental implant, then we will schedule your implant procedure to place the titanium post, which will function like your natural tooth root. Once the post has fused successfully with your jawbone, a process called osseointegration, then we will finish the restoration with your custom crown. We provide a temporary crown while your jaw heals.
The dental field has made many advances over the years, and our team embraces these advances. We offer computer-guided surgery for dental implant placement to ensure efficiency, maximize your comfort, and promote faster healing.
Dental Crown FAQs
We understand that you will have questions about your treatment plan, and our compassionate team is happy to provide the answers and information you need to make an informed decision regarding your oral health. Our team encourages you to ask questions and share your concerns. Some of the most common questions we receive are:
Crowns may be necessary to restore your oral health when you have a severely damaged, decayed, or missing tooth.
We use various types of materials to craft your dental crown, depending on factors like smile goals and budget. There are four common types of dental crowns: metal (such as gold), porcelain, porcelain fused to metal, and resin.
No. Once a crown is chipped or broken, you will need our dentist to replace it with a new custom crown.
A crown is not painful. However, if you receive an implant to support your crown, then the surgery to place the titanium post may cause some discomfort.
Dental crowns can be color-matched to your natural teeth. This means that they cannot be whitened at a later date.
When you care for your crown properly, it can last over a decade. Our dentist will provide helpful instructions and tips to ensure the longevity of your crown. It is important that you do not use your crown on hard surfaces, like opening bottles and cans.
Dental crowns don't decay. However, after years of repeated use, they can become chipped, damaged, or lost.
A crown is easy to take care of. You will floss and brush your crown twice a day, just like your natural teeth. It is also important that you visit us for your regular dental cleanings to maintain your oral health.
