What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped "cap" that is placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Once cemented into place, the crown fully encases the visible portion of the tooth above the gum line.
Why might I need a dental crown?
Dental crowns are versatile and can be used to:
- Protect a weak tooth from breaking or hold together parts of a cracked tooth.
- Restore a broken tooth or a severely worn-down tooth.
- Cover and support a tooth with a large filling.
- Hold a dental bridge in place.
- Cover misshapen or severely discolored teeth.
- Cover a dental implant.
What is the procedure for getting a crown?
The procedure typically involves two visits. During the first visit, the tooth is prepared by removing any decay and reshaping it. An impression is then taken to create a custom crown. A temporary crown is placed until the permanent one is ready. During the second visit, the permanent crown is cemented in place.
How do I care for my dental crown?
While crowns are durable, they're not indestructible. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are essential. Avoiding hard foods and not using your teeth as tools can also prolong the life of your crown.
