A dental crown is like a cap for your tooth. It covers the tooth to restore its original shape, size, strength, and improve its appearance. Crowns are recommended when a tooth is significantly damaged or decayed beyond what simpler restorations can repair.
Restores Function: Crowns help restore the functionality of damaged teeth, allowing you to eat and speak comfortably.
Enhances Appearance: They can dramatically improve the appearance of your teeth by covering stains, breaks, and misshapen teeth.
Long-Lasting: Made from durable materials like porcelain, ceramics, gold, or metal alloys, crowns are designed to last for many years.
Protective: Crowns provide a strong layer of protection for weak or damaged teeth, preventing further decay or damage.
If your tooth is too damaged for fillings or other types of restorations, a crown can provide a strong, attractive solution that looks and feels like your natural tooth. Crowns are versatile and can be used not only to restore strength and function but also to enhance your smile aesthetically.
Getting a crown usually requires two visits to the dentist. In the first visit, we prepare the tooth by removing any decay and shaping it for the crown. We then make an impression of the tooth to create a perfectly fitting crown, matched in color to your other teeth. A temporary crown may be placed while your permanent crown is being made. During your second visit, the permanent crown is fitted, adjusted, and cemented in place, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit.
