What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are custom-made caps that fully cover the visible part of a tooth above the gumline. A crown restores the tooth's shape, size, and strength while improving its appearance. Using tooth-colored materials, custom crowns blend with your smile and help you bite and chew comfortably.

When Are Dental Crowns Recommended?

Crowns are recommended when a tooth needs more protection and support than a filling can provide.

  • A tooth has a large cavity or failing filling that weakens the structure.
  • A cracked, worn, or fractured tooth needs reinforcement to prevent further damage.
  • A tooth has undergone root canal therapy and requires protection.
  • A misshapen or discolored tooth would benefit from improved aesthetics.
  • A dental implant needs a natural-looking, functional restoration.

The Dental Crowns Treatment Process

Comprehensive Evaluation and Planning

Your visit begins with a thorough examination and imaging to evaluate the tooth and surrounding tissues.

Visit 1: Tooth Preparation and Temporary Crown

  • Comfort-focused anesthesia is used to numb the tooth and surrounding area.
  • The tooth is carefully shaped to make room for the crown while preserving healthy structure.
  • Precise impressions or digital scans capture exact dimensions for a custom fit.
  • A temporary crown protects the prepared tooth while the permanent restoration is crafted.

Visit 2: Permanent Crown Placement

  • The temporary crown is removed and the new crown is checked for fit, color, and bite alignment.
  • Once approved, the crown is bonded securely for long-term function and appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

With proper home care and routine checkups, crowns can last many years. Avoiding habits like chewing ice and maintaining a balanced bite helps maximize longevity.

The area is numbed for comfort during preparation and placement. Mild sensitivity may follow and usually improves quickly. Contact the office if discomfort persists.

Crowns are made from tooth-colored ceramics, porcelain-fused options, or other durable materials chosen to balance strength, aesthetics, and bite forces for your specific tooth.

Brush twice daily, floss gently around the crown, and schedule regular cleanings and exams. A night guard may be advised if you clench or grind your teeth.
