What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a durable, tooth-shaped covering that is securely bonded to a tooth that has been compromised in the past, but has since been treated. It is custom crafted to match the precise dimensions of the affected tooth. A dental crown may be recommended in a number of cases, including for:
- Broken teeth
- Weak or worn teeth
- Severely decayed teeth (the final step in a root canal procedure)
- Injured teeth
- Cosmetically flawed teeth in the front of the smile
- Uneven teeth
- And other imperfections
A dental crown can be made out of a variety of materials depending on the location of the tooth, your budget, and your preference. Crowns are frequently made of porcelain, ceramic, zirconia, gold, or metal alloys. Porcelain is a wonderful option for teeth in the front of the mouth, as it closely resembles the appearance of the natural tooth enamel. Sturdy gold or metal crowns may be preferable for molars, which incur more of the forces from chewing.
The Process of Getting a Dental Crown
At Complete Dental Care, we employ some of the most advanced technology available to us to make the process of receiving a dental crown in Burlington as convenient and comfortable as possible. Utilizing our CEREC in-house milling machine and CAD/CAM software, we’re able to craft a tooth-colored dental restoration in-office within a single visit. This means that you won’t have to worry about having to wear a temporary crown or come back in for a second appointment.
If you opt to have your crowns crafted from durable gold or metal alloys, we will partner with a dental laboratory to craft your crown off-site. After preparing your tooth for the crown and taking impressions, we’ll send them to dental lab technicians to create your restoration. When we receive it back, we’ll have you come back into the office to remove the temporary and seat the permanent crown atop your tooth.
The Benefits of Dental Crowns
Dental crowns have a wide range of benefits to offer your once-compromised teeth, including:
- The ability to last for up to 20 years with good maintenance and oral hygiene.
- Continued protection that can prevent your tooth from needing to be extracted down the road.
- Natural-looking results that don’t draw attention to your affected teeth.
- Enhanced comfort by preventing hypersensitivity and other consequences of damaged teeth.
If you have any questions or would like to learn more about how dental crowns can help you, we encourage you to give us a call today. Or, if you’re experiencing severe toothaches or pain that may signal your need for a dental restoration, we invite you to schedule an emergency appointment with us.
