What Is a Dental Crown?

Dental crowns, or dental “caps” are custom-made to fit precisely over the chewing surface of a damaged or weakened tooth above the gumline. This type of restoration can be made from a variety of different materials, including porcelain. Crowns are generally recommended when patients have the following issues:

Broken tooth requiring additional support
Tooth that has undergone root canal therapy
Severe decay being repaired with a large filling
Dental bridge needing support from adjacent teeth
Severely misshapen or discolored tooth
Missing tooth being replaced with a dental implant

The Process of Getting a Dental Crown

Having a dental crown placed is relatively straightforward. Usually, it can be completed in two visits. The first step involves examining your smile to ensure that a crown is the best solution for you. Once this is confirmed by your dentist, a thin layer of enamel needs to be removed. This will create room for your crown to fit comfortably in your mouth with a natural appearance. An impression is then taken and sent to the dental laboratory where your crown will be crafted.

In the meantime, we will provide you with a temporary crown. This will protect your teeth and help you to become accustomed to how your new crown will feel. Once your restoration is ready, you can return to the practice where we will adhere it to your tooth using a special dental cement.
