Dental crown is a dental restoration method that can improve the look and function of your teeth. It can be made from a variety of materials including porcelain, ceramic or zirconia. A crown is about 2 mm in thickness and covers the whole tooth. With a crown, more of the tooth needs to be filed or ground down to prepare for the crown placement. Common conditions for restoration are:
* Discolored teeth
* Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
* Decayed or weakened teeth
* Crooked teeth
What’s involved with getting a crown?
Your dentist will produce an impression of your tooth by digitally scanning it or by making a mold. The image or mold will be sent out to a lab for fabrication of the crown. The dentist may place a temporary crown on your ground-down tooth so that you can use your tooth while the permanent crown is being made.
When the permanent crown is ready, the dentist will remove the temporary crown. They’ll then place the permanent crown on your tooth and will adjust it so that it fits correctly and your bite is right. Then they’ll cement the new crown into place.
Once the crown is in, it’s important to take good care of it. Careful attention to your crown can prolong its life. Here are some helpful tips:
Practice careful brushing. If you’re not already brushing your teeth twice a day, it’s time to start. Consider using a toothpaste for sensitive teeth if your crown or the teeth around it are sensitive to heat or cold.
Flossing daily can help keep all your teeth in tip-top shape.
Avoid hard foods. Chewing ice or hard foods might cause your crown to crack, especially if you have a porcelain crown.
If you grind or clench your teeth at night, your dentist may recommend a night guard to protect your crown and surrounding teeth.
