What is a Tooth Crown?
A tooth crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are often used after root canal treatments, to repair broken teeth, or to support large fillings. Made from materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal, a tooth crown blends seamlessly with natural teeth, providing a durable, long-lasting solution to protect and enhance your smile.
Types of Dental Crowns
Common Materials for Dental Crowns
Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns provide a natural look, closely matching the colour of surrounding teeth. These tooth crowns are ideal for front teeth due to their lifelike appearance.
Ceramic Crowns
Known for their strength and aesthetics, ceramic crowns are a great choice for both front and back teeth, offering durability along with a natural look.
Metal Crowns
Made from metals like gold or alloys, metal crowns are highly durable and resistant to wear, making them suitable for molars that endure heavy chewing forces.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns
These crowns combine the aesthetics of porcelain with the strength of metal, providing a durable yet natural-looking option for a wide range of dental needs.
What Does the Dental Crown Procedure Involve?
Step-by-Step Process for Dental Crown Placement
Initial Examination and Preparation
During the first visit, the dentist examines and prepares the tooth, removing any decay and reshaping it to fit the crown. Local anaesthesia may be used for comfort. An impression of the tooth is then taken to create a custom-fit crown.
Temporary Crown Placement
A temporary tooth crown is placed to protect the tooth while the permanent crown is being crafted in a dental lab.
Final Crown Placement
At the second visit, the temporary crown is removed, and the custom crown is checked for fit and appearance. Once confirmed, the dentist cements the crown in place, restoring the tooth’s function and appearance.
