What Are Dental Crowns?

In order to restore a tooth's size, shape, strength and usefulness, dental crowns are specially manufactured caps that cover the visible section of the tooth. They are made to restore or preserve damaged teeth, fitting in perfectly with the originals to create a grin that looks natural.

Signs a Crown Is Needed

Understand the key indicators that show when a dental crown is necessary.

Severe Tooth Decay

When a tooth is too broken to be repaired with a filling.

Broken or cracked teeth

To repair function and stop additional harm.

Teeth with discoloration or irregular shape

To improve the tooth's look.

After a root canal

To make the treated tooth stronger and more resilient.

To cover a dental implant

provide the last piece of missing tooth repair.

Large Filling Support

When a filling weakens the structure of the tooth.

Types of Dental Crowns

Dental crown types include porcelain crowns, which include

Porcelain Crowns

Porcelain crowns are stain-resistant and mimic the translucence of enamel, making them look natural and perfect for front teeth.

Metal Crowns

These crowns, which are composed of gold or other metal alloys are less aesthetically pleasing but are strong and appropriate for molars.

Crowns made of porcelain fused to metal (PFM)

These crowns offer a natural look with the strength of metal, combining durability and beauty.

Zirconia Crowns

Due of their strength and biocompatibility, zirconia crowns are exceptionally strong and aesthetically beautiful.

Ceramic Crowns

The natural appearance and feel of ceramic crowns make them a great option for people who are allergic to metal.

Gold Alloy Crowns

These crowns, which are composed of gold and other metals are durable and difficult to break.

Base Metal Alloy Crowns

These crowns are less aesthetically beautiful than porcelain or ceramic, but they are more cost-effective and long-lasting. They also resist corrosion. 

Composite Resin Crowns

Not as long-lasting as other kinds, but less costly and good for short-term fixes.

Temporary Crowns

These serve as a stopgap measure until the permanent crown is prepared.

Stainless steel crowns

Usually used for children's teeth or as temporary crowns, these crowns are reasonably priced and long-lasting.

Procedure for Dental Crown Placement

1. Initial Consultation and Examination

The dentist determines the type of crown that will best meet your demands after evaluating the tooth's condition.

2. Preparing Your Tooth

The tooth is altered to accommodate the crown. To make up for a missing portion, a filler material may be employed.

3. Dental Impressions

To construct an ideal crown, an impression of the tooth is taken. Sometimes, digital scans are utilised in its place.

4. Temporary Crown Placement
Until the permanent crown is complete, a temporary crown is placed to safeguard the prepared tooth.
5. Fitting and Adjustment of the Crown

After the permanent crown is made, it is bonded to the tooth. The dentist guarantees a good fit and alignment of the bite.

6. Follow-Up Appointments

In certain cases, follow-up appointments may be required to address concerns such as soreness or misaligned bites.
