Why Do I Need a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is usually placed on teeth that have suffered from severe decay or trauma; their purpose is to restore the shape and size of the tooth while protecting the already damaged parts of the structure. You might receive a crown if:

You have a tooth that is weaker than normal.
Your tooth is already broken or is significantly worn down.
A large amount of dental structure has been lost.
It is needed to hold a dental bridge in place.
You want to replace a single tooth with a dental implant.
You have a misshapen or discolored tooth that you want to hide.

What is the Process for Receiving a Dental Crown?

The first step is to carefully examine the tooth as well as the surrounding bone. (X-rays will be taken as necessary.) After that, we’ll have to make sure there’s enough room in your mouth for the restoration to be placed. We do this by reshaping the chewing surface and sides of your natural tooth; the amount we remove depends on the kind of crown being placed. (Occasionally, we might have to “build up” the tooth instead with filling material so that the tooth can safely support a crown.) Then we can take impressions of your mouth so that there’s a model to refer to when creating the crown. After a couple of weeks, you can return to our office to receive your permanent crown.

Taking Care of a Dental Crown

Teeth that are covered by crowns do not require any special kind of care, but it’s important to realize that they’re still vulnerable to decay and gum disease. That means brushing and flossing are just as important as ever. Be sure that you’re paying close attention to the area where the gum meets the tooth. Rinsing with an antibacterial mouthwash will help in cleaning the spaces that you have trouble reaching on their own.

Benefits of a Crown

Durability: Crowns are designed to withstand the pressures of chewing and can last for about 5 to 15 years with good maintenance.
Natural Appearance: A porcelain crown can be designed so that it looks like the tooth was never damaged in the first place.
High Success Rate: Having a dental crown placed can help you preserve an already damaged or weakened tooth.
