What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a cap that can be designed using different materials such as porcelain, metal and ceramic. The caps are made using a mold that is obtained from your teeth. These caps will match your natural teeth and cover the affected tooth completely. When a crown is being made for a patient, the shape, size and color needs to be quite similar to the patient’s existing teeth. This is done to ensure that once the crowns are placed, no one can easily tell the difference between them and the existing teeth.
How Are Crowns Placed?
Once a dental crown is customized, a cement is used to attach it into place. The affected tooth will be fully covered by the crown giving you a stronger and healthier looking tooth. With proper care, crowns can last for several years. Most dentists will recommend crowns for cosmetic reasons.
Are there any benefits of having a crown?
You may consider other alternatives to restore a damaged or chipped tooth such as dental bridges but crowns are usually more suitable when you want to replace a single tooth. A crown will completely cover the damaged tooth and give it extra support. This means that your tooth will no longer be exposed to decay. In fact, if you’ve had a root canal or problems like cracks and extensive decay, a crown can help you to avoid further breaking or falling of the tooth. It completely covers a damaged tooth and keeps it safe and secure. Instead of having your tooth extracted because of extensive decay, consider having a crown that secures it nicely while improving your smile.
Some dentists will recommend placing a dental crown in order to correct your bite. Chewing food with damaged teeth can really affect your bite since you end up placing a lot of pressure on the surrounding teeth. Placing a crown will restore your bite and ensure all the surrounding teeth receive pressure that is evenly distributed.
THE POSSIBILITY OF HAVING A CROWN
Can Crowns Be Used With Implants?
Crowns when placed on an implant gives you a better replacement to lost or missing teeth. With an implant and a crown, you do not have to remove the structure of your existing healthy tooth unlike when using bridges.
Is It For You?
When you visit a dentist, your case will be assessed and you will be advised as to whether a crown is an ideal solution for you. If you have a cracked or fractured tooth or you need to cover an implant or strengthen a tooth that had a root canal, consider discussing with your dentist the possibility of having a crown.
