What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a cap for teeth often made of high-quality porcelain or ceramic. The porcelain crown is placed on top of the damaged tooth. This crown restores the tooth, making it “whole” and healthy again. Some benefits of crowns include the following:
- Dental crowns are custom-made for you so they fit into your smile perfectly.
- The crown is color-matched with your other teeth so it looks just like your other teeth.
- They are made out of high-quality porcelain or ceramic, both of which are very sturdy materials.
- Dental crowns are matched to fit in your smile with size and shape.
- Laugh, smile, and get your photo taken — the dental crowns look completely natural!
Besides fixing damaged teeth, dental crowns also work together really well with other dental procedures to help restore your entire oral health:
- A porcelain crown restores dental implants. This means that after the small titanium rods of the dental implants are placed into your jawbone and take the time they need to fuse with the jawbone, the implants form a “new” tooth root. A porcelain crown is then placed onto the dental implant, creating a “new” tooth to complete your smile.
- A crown can be placed on a tooth that has so much dental work that it is fragile or more susceptible to tooth decay. The cap is placed right over the damaged tooth, creating a new healthy tooth.
- Dental crowns can be used to secure dental bridges, dentures, and partial dentures.
To prepare for the dental crown, your dentist will take an impression of your teeth to make a custom crown that fits your smile perfectly. He then will give you a temporary cap while he uses labs located right here in our office to make you the exceptional quality, custom dental crowns that will be permanently fixed to your teeth.
