Dental Crowns

Dental Crowns, Inlays & Onlays

A dental cap(crown) is used to cover a very damaged tooth or one after a root canal treatment is performed. Alternatively, if the damage is less porcelain or composite inlays or onlays can be used to restore just the damaged part of a tooth, offering a more conservative treatment.

How Dental Crowns Work

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that encases a damaged or weakened tooth, providing protection and restoring its function. The process begins with a detailed consultation, where we evaluate the condition of your tooth and determine the best type of crown to meet your needs. This assessment ensures that the crown will be both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

The first step in the crown process involves preparing the affected tooth. This may include removing any decay or damaged areas and reshaping the tooth to accommodate the crown. Once the tooth is prepared, we take precise impressions to create a custom crown that fits perfectly over your tooth. These impressions are used to design the crown, which can be made from various durable materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of materials. The choice of material depends on factors such as the location of the tooth, the amount of visible tooth structure, and your personal preferences.

While your permanent crown is being crafted, a temporary crown is placed to protect the prepared tooth. This temporary crown allows you to go about your daily activities while your custom crown is being made. Once the permanent crown is ready, it is carefully fitted and adjusted to ensure a comfortable and precise fit. The crown is then securely bonded to your tooth, restoring its shape, size, and function.

 


 

The Benefits of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns offer numerous advantages, making them a valuable option for restoring damaged or weakened teeth. One of the primary benefits is their ability to protect and strengthen the affected tooth. By covering the entire tooth, a crown shields it from further damage, decay, or fractures. This protective layer also helps to restore the tooth’s function, allowing you to chew and bite with confidence.

In addition to their protective benefits, dental crowns are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. The materials used for crowns are chosen to match the color and appearance of your surrounding teeth, ensuring that the crown looks natural and enhances your smile. This aesthetic benefit is particularly important for crowns placed on front teeth, where appearance is a key concern.

Crowns are also known for their durability and long-lasting results. With proper care and maintenance, a dental crown can last for many years, providing a reliable solution to restore and protect your teeth. This durability makes crowns an excellent investment in your oral health, offering a long-term solution to various dental issues.
