Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are a restorative dental treatment. The crown, which is like a cap, encases the whole visible portion of the tooth to improve and reinforce its strength, size and appearance.

Dental crowns can be made of a ceramic or metal base covered with a small layer of ceramic. For the back teeth, a dental crown may be made of gold.

The Uses of Dental Crowns

Treat broken or decayed teeth that cannot be fixed with a filling
Improve the appearance of flawed teeth
Place over a dental implant
Cover a tooth where most of the top part has been removed
Repair a defective tooth filling

The Dental Crown Procedure

The procedure for placing a dental crown requires only two appointments. The first appointment is dedicated to the preparation of the tooth, and the second visit is for the fitting of the permanent crown.

First visit:

The tooth is reshaped and the dentist takes an impression to create the crown.
A portion of the tooth is removed
Your dentist uses a special material to create an impression of the tooth.
The impression is sent to the lab and made into a permanent dental crown.
Your dentist will provide you a temporary crown to protect your tooth while your permanent dental crown is being fabricated.

Second visit:

Your permanent dental crown is ready for fitting.
The dentist detaches the temporary crown.
The tooth is cleaned to remove the temporary cement
The new crown is fitted and your dentist will ensure that it fits precisely and that you are satisfied with the appearance.
The crown is cemented permanently in place with the use of a special dental bonding agent.
