A dental crown, sometimes called a "tooth crown" or "tooth cap," is a personalized covering designed to encase and safeguard a damaged tooth. Imagine a small protective cap used during sewing to guard your finger – that’s similar to the role of a dental crown for your teeth.
They're typically used when a tooth is fractured, decayed, or severely impaired, and a basic filling isn’t adequate.
Your unique requirements and preferences will determine the selection from four primary kinds of dental crowns:
Crafted from gold or alternative sturdy metals, these crowns are robust and can handle the forces of biting and chewing efficiently. They are a preferred choice for the less visible teeth at the back.
These have a solid metal core and are topped with porcelain to give a natural appearance. They can be tailored to blend with the shade of the neighbouring teeth, offering a visually pleasing contrast to solely metal crowns.
Those in pursuit of superior aesthetic outcomes might opt for ceramic crowns. They offer an impeccable color match to natural teeth, making them an excellent pick for the visible front teeth.
The most cost-effective of the options, resin crowns, though they tend to wear and break more readily than other variants.
If a tooth is cracked, shattered, or decayed beyond what a regular filling can fix, a dental crown could be the optimal solution. Neglecting such issues could lead to the root's involvement, escalating the complexity of the issue.
Dental crowns and bridges are tailor-made fixtures for teeth, crafted to substitute absent teeth or refurbish damaged ones, enhancing their look, functionality, and durability. Crowns encase natural teeth or implants; bridges fill in vacant spaces of missing teeth, anchored to adjacent teeth or implants.
Crown and bridge treatments restore adequate mastication functions and endow you with a natural, radiant smile.
Schedule a check-up with Dr. Sigel to discern if you could benefit from these restorative procedures!
Ordinarily, two appointments to Lakeview Dental are needed to complete the crown placement. The first involves tooth evaluation and preparation, impression taking, and temporary crown installation.
At the follow-up, the provisional crown is replaced with the permanent one, firmly adhered in position.
With the aid of local anesthetics or sedation dentistry, patients usually find the procedure pain-free. Some temporary discomfort or sensitivity post-treatment is commonplace and quickly fades.
Expect a dental crown to last between 5 and 15 years, contingent on the chosen material, exposure to wear, and individual oral hygiene practices.
Crowns remarkably improve the look of teeth. Be it ceramic or porcelain combined with metal; they can be adapted to your natural teeth’s hue for a stunning transformation.
Beyond aesthetics, crowns restore the operation of teeth. Eating and talking become as effortless as with natural teeth upon cap installation.
The durability of dental crowns, especially with optimal care, renders them a prolonged resolution for intensive dental issues.
The price for a crown is influenced by the type of crown, if you require a bridge, and the complexity of your individual situation. Lakeview Dental is devoted to offering premium yet economical dental treatments.
We assist in comprehending insurance inclusions and determining suitable payment modalities.
A few may encounter temporary discomfort or sensitivity, especially to temperature extremes, but this is transient.
Crowns are strong but not invulnerable. If chipping or loosening occurs, promptly reach out to Dr. Sigel.
