What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, and functionality. Crowns are typically made from high-quality materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys, depending on the needs of the patient. They are an ideal solution for:

  • Restoring damaged or cracked teeth
  • Protecting weakened teeth after root canal treatment
  • Covering dental implants
  • Enhancing the appearance of stained or crooked teeth
  • Supporting large fillings when there isn’t enough tooth structure left

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are a versatile restorative treatment that offers a variety of benefits:

  • Restoration of Functionality: A crown strengthens your tooth, restoring its full function, allowing you to bite, chew, and speak naturally again.
  • Aesthetic Improvement: Since crowns are manufactured to order, they will perfectly complement the size, colour, and form of your natural teeth, completing the look of your smile.
  • Durability: Crowns are designed to be long-lasting and durable, with proper care allowing them to last for many years.
  • Protection: A dental crown covers and protects your natural tooth from further damage, decay, or wear.

Steps of a Dental Crown Procedure

  • Consultation & Examination: The dentist evaluates the tooth using X-rays to determine if a crown is necessary. If the tooth has severe decay or infection, a root canal may be required before the crown is placed.
  • Tooth Preparation : The tooth is reshaped by removing a small portion of enamel to make space for the crown. If a large portion of the tooth is missing, a filling may be used to build up the structure.
  • Impressions & Temporary Crown: A digital or physical impression of the tooth is taken to create a custom crown. A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while the permanent crown is being made (typically 1-2 weeks).
  • Crown Placement: Once the custom crown is ready, the dentist removes the temporary crown and checks the fit and color. The permanent crown is then cemented in place.
  • Final Adjustments & Aftercare: The dentist makes any necessary bite adjustments to ensure comfort. Patients are advised to follow good oral hygiene practices to maintain the crown’s longevity.

Caring for Your Dental Crown

With proper care, your dental crown can last many years. Good oral hygiene practices, including brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups, are essential for maintaining the health of the crown and the surrounding teeth.

FAQs

Brush and floss daily to prevent decay around the crown. Avoid hard or sticky foods that could loosen or damage the crown. Visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings.

No, the procedure is typically painless. The dentist numbs the tooth and surrounding area before the procedure. Some mild sensitivity or discomfort may occur after the procedure, but it subsides within a few days.

It usually takes two visits:
The first visit involves preparing the tooth, taking impressions, and placing a temporary crown. The second visit (after 1-2 weeks) is for fitting and cementing the permanent crown.

Dental crowns can be made from different materials, including:

  • Porcelain or ceramic (best for front teeth; blends with natural teeth)
  • Metal (gold, silver, or other alloys) (very strong but less aesthetic)
  • Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) (strong and natural-looking)
  • Zirconia (durable and tooth-colored)
  • Resin (less expensive but wears down faster)
