What are dental crowns? 

Dental crowns are tailor-made coverings or “caps” positioned over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. They can be crafted from several materials, such as ceramic, porcelain and resin. They can be colour-matched to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth or selected for their long-lasting durability. 

Why would I need dental crowns?

 Individuals might need dental crowns for several reasons: 

• To prevent a weak tooth from breaking or to secure the parts of a cracked tooth.
• To repair a tooth that has been broken or significantly worn down.
• To encase and support a tooth with a substantial filling when little of the original tooth structure remains.
• To anchor a dental bridge.
• To conceal misshapen or severely discoloured teeth.
• To encapsulate a dental implant.

What does the procedure of getting a dental crown look like?

Receiving a dental crown typically involves two appointments. During the first visit, the tooth is evaluated and prepared, which may involve taking X-rays and creating an impression of the tooth. The tooth is then reshaped to accommodate the crown, and a temporary crown is installed to protect it while the permanent crown is fabricated. At the second visit, the permanent crown is carefully adjusted for fit and colour before being permanently cemented into place.

How long do dental crowns last?

 Dental crowns usually last between 5 to 15 years, depending on the wear and tear they undergo. They can last longer with good oral hygiene practices and by avoiding habits like grinding or clenching teeth, chewing ice, biting fingernails, and opening packaging with your teeth. 

What are the benefits of dental crowns?

 Dental crowns offer several advantages. They effectively restore the appearance and function of teeth, making them ideal for broken, worn-down, or damaged teeth that have undergone significant decay or root canal treatment. Crowns also provide robust protection for vulnerable teeth, helping to prevent further damage or decay.  Additionally, dental crowns are customisable, allowing them to closely match the natural colour of your teeth, making them aesthetically pleasing. Dental crowns are also long-lasting with proper care, providing a durable solution for many years.  Enhance your smile and dental health with durable and aesthetic dental crowns at A-plus Clinic.
