Dental crowns, also known as dental caps, are custom-made restorations designed to encase the entire visible portion of a tooth. They are an ideal solution for restoring the shape, size, strength, and appearance of a damaged tooth. Our dental crowns are crafted from high-quality materials to ensure durability and a natural look.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
- Restoration of Tooth Structure: Crowns restore the function and appearance of teeth that are damaged due to decay, fractures, or wear.
- Durability and Strength: Made from robust materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal, crowns provide long-lasting protection and support for weakened teeth.
- Aesthetic Improvement: Crowns can be color-matched to your natural teeth, enhancing the overall appearance of your smile.
- Protection: They shield the tooth from further damage and decay.
- Enhanced Functionality: Crowns restore the ability to chew and speak properly.
Types of Dental Crowns
- Porcelain Crowns: Known for their natural appearance, they are ideal for front teeth.
- Ceramic Crowns: Offer a natural look and are suitable for patients with metal allergies.
- Metal Crowns: Extremely durable and suitable for back teeth that require strength for chewing.
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns: Combine the strength of metal with the aesthetics of porcelain.
The Procedure
- Consultation and Examination: During your initial visit, our dentist will examine your tooth and take X-rays to assess the extent of the damage.
- Tooth Preparation: The damaged tooth is reshaped to accommodate the crown. This involves removing a portion of the tooth structure.
- Impressions: An impression of the prepared tooth and the surrounding teeth is taken to create a custom-fit crown.
- Temporary Crown: While your permanent crown is being made, a temporary crown is placed to protect the prepared tooth.
- Fitting the Permanent Crown: Once the custom crown is ready, it is checked for fit and color, then permanently cemented onto the prepared tooth.
Aftercare
- Good Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss regularly to keep your crowned tooth and surrounding gums healthy.
- Avoid Hard Foods: Prevent damage to your crown by avoiding hard or sticky foods.
- Regular Check-ups: Visit your dentist regularly to ensure the crown and underlying tooth remain in good condition.
