What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-crafted restoration that covers the visible portion of a tooth. It is designed to restore strength, improve shape, and protect the remaining tooth structure while blending naturally with your smile.
Crowns are commonly included as part of broader restorative dentistry treatments to help maintain both function and aesthetics.
When a Dental Crown May Be Recommended
A crown may be suggested in situations where a tooth needs additional support or protection, including:
- Teeth that are cracked, worn, or structurally compromised
- Extensive decay that cannot be treated with a filling alone
- After root canal therapy to reinforce the tooth
- Cosmetic improvements for misshapen or discolored teeth
- As part of a dental bridge
- To complete a dental implant restoration
Each treatment plan is customized based on your specific dental condition and goals.
Types of Dental Crowns Available
All-Porcelain Crowns
Designed to closely resemble natural enamel, these are often chosen for front teeth due to their lifelike appearance.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns
These combine a strong internal structure with a natural-looking outer layer, offering both durability and aesthetics.
Zirconia Crowns
A high-strength ceramic option that provides both resilience and a natural finish, suitable for various areas of the mouth.
Metal-Based Crowns
Crafted from durable alloys, these are typically used for back teeth where strength is the primary concern.
During your consultation, we’ll help you choose the most appropriate material for your needs.
What to Expect During the Crown Process
1. Evaluation and Planning
Dr. Emily Conley will examine your tooth and determine whether a crown is the best option.
2. Tooth Preparation
The tooth is reshaped to allow space for the crown, and any necessary buildup is completed.
3. Digital Impressions
Precise measurements are taken to create a custom restoration that fits comfortably and functions properly.
4. Temporary Crown Placement
A temporary crown protects the tooth while your permanent crown is being fabricated.
5. Final Placement
Once ready, the crown is securely placed and adjusted for a natural look and comfortable bite.
We utilize modern techniques and advanced dental technology to ensure accuracy and efficiency throughout the process.
Caring for Your Dental Crown
Dental crowns can last many years with proper maintenance. To support longevity:
- Maintain daily brushing and flossing
- Avoid biting on hard objects
- Wear a nightguard if recommended
- Attend regular visits for preventative care
Consistent care helps protect both the crown and the underlying tooth.
