Our dentists may recommend dental crowns to restore your teeth to full function and beauty after they have been damaged. Your crown will be specially designed to fit your smile perfectly and give you long-lasting results.
Dental crowns are a type of dental restoration that covers the entire tooth. They are usually made of porcelain or ceramic and are used to restore the function and appearance of teeth that have been damaged by decay or injury. Crowns can also be used to support dental bridges and to cover implants.
There are many reasons why you might need a dental crown. If you have a tooth that is severely decayed, a crown can help to protect it from further damage. If you have a tooth that is cracked or broken, a crown can help to prevent it from breaking further. And if you have a tooth that is misshapen or discolored, a crown can help to improve its appearance.
Dental crowns are usually placed by a dentist, and the procedure is typically done in one or two visits. During the first visit, the tooth will be prepared for the crown. This involves removing any decay or damage and shaping the tooth so that the crown can fit over it. Then an impression of the tooth will be made, which will be used to create the crown.
The second visit will involve placing the crown on the tooth. The crown will be cemented into place, and you will be able to bite and chew normally. It is important to take good care of your dental crown, as it can last for many years with proper care. Be sure to brush and floss regularly and see your dentist for regular checkups.
