What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are custom-made caps placed over a tooth to restore its appearance, strength, size, and shape. They are often used to protect a weakened tooth, restore the function of a damaged tooth, or enhance the aesthetics of discolored or misshapen teeth. At our practice, we use zirconia crowns, which provide excellent durability and a natural look. Zirconia crowns offer a long-lasting solution that helps maintain your smile's overall function and health.

Why Might I Need Dental Crowns?

Tooth crowns offer a versatile solution for a variety of dental concerns. They can protect and repair weakened or damaged teeth, enhance aesthetics, and support dental restorations like bridges. Whether you're looking to restore function or improve your smile, our crowns offer a reliable option to meet your needs. We may recommend a crown for dental issues such as:

Protection and Repair of Weakened or Damaged Teeth: Our dental crowns can strengthen a tooth weakened by decay, injury, or a large filling, as well as restore function to cracked or severely worn-down teeth, helping to prevent further damage.
Restoration After Root Canal Treatment: A tooth often requires a crown to restore its structure and protect it from future issues after undergoing root canal therapy.
Aesthetic Improvement: Crowns can improve the look of discolored or misshapen teeth, providing a more uniform and appealing smile.
Support for Bridges: We often use dental crowns to anchor bridges in place, helping to replace multiple missing teeth.
Alignment: Our tooth crowns can help correct minor alignment issues, improving your bite and overall dental health.

Our Zirconia Crown Process

Your dental crown treatment process begins with a comprehensive consultation with our dentist. We'll evaluate your dental health and explore how crowns can meet your specific needs. Once we determine that a crown is the right solution for you, we prepare the affected tooth and take impressions to achieve a precise fit.

During this visit, a temporary crown will be placed to protect your tooth while your custom zirconia crown is created. This process typically takes about seven days. Once your permanent crown is ready, you'll return to our office for the final fitting and placement, allowing for a seamless integration with your smile. We aim to provide you with a durable and natural-looking solution that enhances both function and appearance.

Dental Crown FAQs

We understand you may have questions regarding tooth crowns. Our team is equipped with the knowledge to answer your questions and provide you with comfort throughout your treatment. Common questions include:

How should I care for my crown?

Caring for your tooth crown is similar to caring for natural teeth. Regular flossing, brushing, and routine dental checkups in our office are essential. Avoiding hard foods and habits like grinding your teeth can also help prolong the life of your crown.

Can I eat normally with a dental crown?

Once your permanent tooth crown is placed, you can eat normally. However, it's best to avoid extremely hard or sticky foods immediately after getting the crown until our dentist confirms it's fully set.

How often should I have my crowns checked?

It's a good idea to have your crowns checked during your regular dental cleanings, typically every six months. Our dentist can assess their condition and recommend any necessary care.

What is the difference between a permanent crown and a temporary crown?

A temporary crown is a short-term solution placed after tooth preparation while the permanent crown is being made. Temporary crowns are not as durable and are designed to be used for a short period.

How is a crown different from a filling?

A filling is used to repair a small area of decay, while a crown covers the entire tooth, providing more extensive protection and support for a damaged or weakened tooth.
