Strength, Protection and a Natural Look
When Is a Dental Crown Needed?
A dental crown may be recommended if a tooth is too damaged for a filling to provide adequate restoration. Crowns can be used for both restorative and cosmetic purposes, helping to improve both oral health and aesthetics. You may benefit from a dental crown if you have:
- A severely decayed or damaged tooth that cannot be restored with a filling.
- A fractured or weakened tooth that requires reinforcement.
- A tooth that has undergone root canal therapy and needs added protection.
- A large filling with minimal natural tooth structure remaining.
- A misshapen or discolored tooth that affects your smile’s appearance.
- A dental bridge that needs support from adjacent teeth.
- A dental implant that requires a restoration to replace a missing tooth.
Types of Dental Crowns
Dental crowns can be made from a variety of materials, including:
- Porcelain Crowns – Popular for their natural appearance, blending seamlessly with surrounding teeth.
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns – Offer a combination of strength and aesthetics.
- Metal Crowns – Made from gold or other alloys, these provide exceptional durability for back teeth.
Our team will help you determine the best type of crown based on your individual needs and preferences.
The Dental Crown Process
Receiving a dental crown typically requires two visits. During the first appointment, the tooth is prepared and impressions are taken to create a custom-fitted crown. A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while the final restoration is being crafted. At the second visit, the permanent crown is bonded into place, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit.
