What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is designed to fit over your remaining tooth structure to rebuild your entire tooth. It strengthens and restores function to a tooth that has been damaged by decay, trauma, or an infection. Crowns can also be used for cosmetic purposes to restore a tooth that is misshapen or discolored. It is also the restoration used to top a dental implant when replacing a single tooth. Crowns are made of porcelain, which is a material that is both durable and aesthetically appealing so your smile feels and looks completely natural.
The Dental Crown Process
Your dental crown will be custom-made by using digital impressions that we take of your smile. In most treatments, this process will usually take two appointments to complete. For your first visit, your dentist will prepare your tooth enamel by shaving down a small amount to make room for your restoration. After sending impressions to a lab for fabrication, you’ll be given temporary crowns to protect your tooth until you receive your final results. However, our team can offer you CEREC dental crowns, which can be completed in a single appointment, so you can walk out of our office with your new teeth on the same day!
The Benefits of Getting a Dental Crown
With porcelain dental crowns, you can expect to appreciate several advantages, including:
- Reduced tooth sensitivity in the compromised/damaged area
- Decreased risk of further complications, such as infection or needing a tooth extraction
- Alleviate discomfort when eating and chewing your meals
- A natural-looking and seamless solution that blends with the rest of your smile
- A reliable and durable tooth replacement that can last 10 years or more with proper care
