Dental Implants
What are Crowns?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped "cap" that is placed over a tooth to cover the tooth to restore its shape and size, strength, and improve its appearance.
The crowns, when cemented into place, fully encase the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line.
Why Is a Dental Crown Needed?
A dental crown may be needed in the following situations:
-
To protect a weak tooth (for instance, from decay) from breaking or to hold together parts of a cracked tooth.
-
To restore an already broken tooth or a tooth that has been severely worn down.
-
To cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn't a lot of tooth left.
-
To hold a dental bridge in place.
-
To cover misshapened or severely discolored teeth.
-
To cover a dental implant.
-
To make a cosmetic modification.
How is a crown placed?
Several steps are involved, and two dental visits are generally needed to complete the treatment.
The dentist prepares the tooth by removing its outer portion so the crown will fit. Any decay is also removed. If additional tooth structure is needed to support the crown, the dentist may build up the core of the tooth.
An impression is made to provide an exact model for the crown.
You will get a temporary crown while you wait for the permanent crown to be ready. While you have the temporary crown, this tooth may be sensitive to hot and cold. Also, avoid chewing gum or sticky foods during this time.
The dentist or a laboratory technician then uses the model to help make the crown.
When the new crown is ready, the dentist places it in your mouth and makes the necessary adjustments. When you and your dentist are satisfied with how it looks and feels, the crown is cemented in place.
