What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made “cap” that covers a tooth entirely, restoring its normal shape, size, and function. Crowns are often used to address both cosmetic and structural issues, helping your tooth look and feel like new again.

When Are Dental Crowns Used?

Dental crowns are incredibly versatile and can be used for many reasons, including:

• Large Cavities: When a cavity is too large for a filling, a crown can help restore the tooth.
• Cracked or Weakened Teeth: If your tooth is cracked, worn down, or otherwise weakened, a crown can provide support and protection.
• Post-Root Canal Treatment: After a root canal, a crown can be placed to protect the treated tooth and restore its function.
• Cosmetic Improvements: Crowns can also cover discolored, misshapen, or damaged teeth, improving the overall appearance of your smile.

What to Expect When Getting a Crown

• Getting a dental crown is a relatively simple process that typically requires just one visit to Timeless Dental.
• Tooth Preparation: During your appointment, your dentist will prepare the tooth by removing a small amount of enamel to ensure the crown fits comfortably. Any decay will be cleaned out, and the tooth will be thoroughly cleaned.
• Material Selection: Crowns can be made from a variety of materials, including metal alloys, ceramics, porcelain fused to metal, or composite resin. Your dentist will choose the material that best suits the location and function of the crown.
• Fitting and Placement: Once the crown is ready, your dentist will check the fit and make any necessary adjustments to ensure your bite is comfortable. The crown will then be cemented into place.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

• Restores Function: Crowns protect and restore the function of a damaged or decayed tooth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile without worry.
• Improves Appearance: Whether for cosmetic or restorative purposes, crowns can dramatically enhance the look of a tooth, making your smile more uniform and attractive.
• Long-Lasting: With proper care, dental crowns can last for many years, providing durable protection for your teeth.
