What Is a Dental Crown?
Simply put, a dental crown is a cap-like restoration designed to be placed on the top portion of a tooth. It’s cemented to the natural tooth structure and restores its strength, function, and beauty from the gumline up. Examples of situations where our time may recommend getting a dental crown include:
- Advanced decay that a filling won’t fully address.
- Damage to the tooth from an injury.
- Excessive wear on a tooth.
- Preparation for a dental bridge.
- Covering dental implants to replace a single missing tooth.
- Correcting the appearance of a cracked, broken, or misshapen tooth.
The Process of Getting a Dental Crown
To start, our team will prepare the affected tooth by removing a small amount of enamel to allow the restoration to fit over it. We’ll then capture an impression of the tooth that we’ll send off to our laboratory. There, they’ll craft your crown from zirconia, porcelain, gold, or porcelain fused to metal and send it back to our office. Our team will check to make sure it fits perfectly and looks great before permanently cementing it onto the prepared tooth.
