Dental crowns have been used for more than 100 years because they add support to teeth weakened by decay or injury. This versatile solution that corrects numerous health and cosmetic concerns can restore your smile and alleviate oral discomfort. Let’s find out exactly how it does that.

The Works

Dental crowns are hollow fillings that cover the top parts of your teeth. They’re often made of porcelain, ceramics, and resins. These materials look like tooth enamel and are tough enough to withstand years of wear and tear.

Your dentist first makes your tooth a little smaller. This will ensure that your crown fits your mouth properly and comfortably.

The dentist then creates an impression of your mouth, which will be used as a model during the creation of the crown. You’ll leave the office wearing a temporary crown. Two weeks later, you’ll return to receive your permanent crown, which will replace the temporary one and turns into a permanent part of your oral aesthetics.

Okay, So How?

When you have a cavity, your tooth is more likely to fracture or break. When that happens, it changes how you bite or chew and even makes it difficult to eat or speak! A broken tooth can also be painful, especially when the breakage reaches the tooth root! You lose that pearly white and even experience excruciating nerve hypersensitivity or pain! Unfortunately, tooth extraction is the only way to fix a root-level break.

Dental crowns help you avoid these problems. Crowns strengthen weak teeth, absorb biting forces and prevent fractures. They can also be used to change the appearance of teeth, reduce pain caused by bad bites or lengthen teeth, which can result in a better-looking smile.

• Dental crowns are used to replace damaged teeth. Crowns are placed over damaged teeth to protect the nerves, fill cracks and holes, and restore the natural appearance of the tooth. And because crowns cover the entire tooth, including the biting surface, they offer a level of protection that a cap can’t provide.

• Dental crowns are also beautiful. Dental crowns are intended to replace damaged teeth and relieve pain but offer countless cosmetic benefits. Crowns can make crooked teeth appear straight, hide dark spots on your smile, or just provide an extra boost of confidence while you chew.

• Dental crowns individually fit each patient’s mouth. Are you worried that a crown will look obvious? Does your dentist say that your tooth needs to be ground down before a crown can be placed? They should start by taking a mold of your healthy tooth and then use precision technology to create a dental crown that looks, feels, and functions like your natural tooth!

• Dental crowns are easy to replace without pain or discomfort. When preparing for a dental crown, your dentist will first take an impression of your mouth to create a mold of your existing healthy tooth. Then, when your denture is ready for placement, our highly-trained technicians will insert it into place with little discomfort or discomfort afterward.
