What is a
Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made covering that encases the entire surface of a damaged or decayed tooth, effectively restoring its original shape, size, and strength. Often referred to as a "cap," a crown protects the underlying tooth structure that cannot be adequately repaired with fillings or other restorations. Made from various materials, including porcelain, metal, or a combination of both, crowns are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits. They are commonly used in situations such as after a root canal, for broken or fractured teeth or to enhance the appearance of cosmetically imperfect teeth.
When Do You Need
a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns offer a versatile solution for various dental issues, providing strength and aesthetic improvements. They are beneficial for patients who need:
- Restoring functionality and appearance for broken or fractured teeth.
- Improving the shape or color of a tooth for cosmetic enhancement.
- Supporting a tooth with extensive decay.
- Protecting teeth with large or damaged fillings.
- Adding strength and structure to heavily filled teeth.
- Safeguarding a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment.
What Does Getting a
Crown Involve at Island Dental?
- Tooth Molding: We take several precise molds (impressions) of your tooth, which will be used to create your custom crown.
- Tooth Preparation: The tooth is prepared by removing any decay and reshaping the surface to ensure a proper fit for the crown
- Temporary Crown: A temporary crown is placed using temporary cement to protect the prepared tooth while your permanent crown is being fabricated.
- Crown Placement: In your second appointment, the temporary crown is removed, and the new crown is placed carefully to ensure it fits well and looks natural.
