What Is a Dental Crown?

Over a tooth that has been injured or weakened, a dental crown is a cap that restores the tooth’s size, shape, strength, and look. Crowns serve as a protective barrier that strengthens the tooth’s structure by covering the whole visible area of the tooth above the gum line. Porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of these materials can create crowns that replicate the appearance and functionality of real teeth.
Dental crowns are frequently utilized for both aesthetic and restorative reasons. With the right maintenance, they are incredibly resilient and can endure for many years, offering a dependable means of restoring a stunning, useful smile.

Types of Dental Crowns

Depending on the location, purpose, and aesthetic needs of the tooth, we provide a variety of crown types, each with unique advantages. Our staff will assist you in selecting the ideal material for your requirements.

Porcelain or Ceramic Crowns

Since porcelain and ceramic crowns closely resemble the colour and translucency of natural teeth, they are perfect for front teeth. Because they mix in perfectly with your smile, these crowns are well-liked for their visual appeal.

Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns

PFM crowns combine the strength of metal with a porcelain-like look. They are frequently used for back teeth or for people who prefer the strength and aesthetics of metal.

Metal Crowns

Metal crowns are strong and extremely resistant to wear; they are frequently composed of gold or alloy materials. They are frequently utilized for back teeth, where strength is a top concern, even if they don't blend in as well.

All-Resin Crowns

Although resin crowns are less expensive than porcelain or metal crowns, they cannot last as long. They are occasionally utilized as interim crowns before a more permanent crown material is placed.

When Do You Need a Dental Crown?

Dental crowns serve multiple purposes and may be recommended for patients with various dental concerns. Here are some common situations where a crown may be beneficial:

Protecting a Weakened Tooth

A crown can repair the shape and integrity of a tooth that has a major crack or fracture, enabling you to bite and chew with comfort. The crown stops more cracking and keeps the broken tooth together.

Restoring a Broken or Cracked Tooth

A crown can help a tooth with a major crack or fracture regain its form and integrity so you can chew and bite comfortably. The crown keeps the broken tooth together and stops it from breaking any further.

Covering a Tooth After a Root Canal

After receiving a root canal, a tooth may become brittle and more prone to fractures. After treatment, a crown seals and protects the tooth, offering vital strength and protection.

Improving Appearance

Crowns can also cover teeth that are crooked, discoloured, or malformed for aesthetic reasons. Addressing any obvious flaws contributes to a balanced, attractive grin.

In order to guarantee that your child receives the preventative treatment required for long-term oral health, our staff at North Hill Dental can create a program tailored to their particular requirements.

The Dental Crown Procedure

The process of getting a dental crown usually involves two visits. Here’s what you can expect during each step of the procedure:

In order to determine the state of the problematic tooth, we will inspect it and take X-rays during the initial appointment. After that, the tooth is modified to accommodate the crown. Before applying the crown, we might need to strengthen the tooth’s structure if it has significant decay or damage.

Following preparation, we take a dental impression of your tooth, which is then sent to a lab to produce a precisely fitted custom crown. In the interim, we apply a temporary crown to preserve the tooth until the final crown is ready.

You come back for a second appointment after the bespoke crown is over. After removing the temporary crown, we make any required changes and examine the permanent crown’s fit and colour. After everything is ideal, we restore the tooth’s appearance and functionality by cementing the crown in place.
