What are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns, often known as porcelain crowns or caps, are custom-made dental restorations. These crowns are used to repair damaged or deteriorating teeth, restoring both their beauty and functionality. They have a smooth and authentic appearance since they are designed to mimic the size, shape, and color of a real tooth. Porcelain is the preferred material for crowns due to its stain resistance, durability, and natural appearance.

Because of their exceptional aesthetic properties, porcelain crowns are a wonderful choice for front teeth. Additionally, porcelain crowns are incredibly comfortable and secure. They can be used to fix one or more teeth or as part of dental implants. Following root canal treatment for an infected tooth, a crown is usually placed to strengthen the tooth and prevent a fracture. The “capped” tooth can endure for a very long time if properly cared for.

Dental Crown Treatment Process

A dental crown process typically takes two appointments to complete. Dr. Blackhart or his associates must first prepare the tooth, then take an impression of your damaged tooth and send it to the lab so that the crown can be made. You can wear a temporary crown between appointments while you wait. Once the new crown is completed, you will need to return to the dentist to have it bonded to your old tooth, which should happen in a few weeks.

Benefits of Porcelain Crowns

Dental crowns have many benefits as restorations for damaged or infected teeth, including the following;

  • Natural-Looking: The appearance of dental crowns is similar to that of your own teeth.
  • Perfect Fit: We take an exact impression of the broken tooth to ensure that the new crown fits securely.
  • Cost-effective: A crown can help you save money by preventing more costly procedures.
  • Prevents Tooth Loss: You can protect the injured tooth from further damage like fractured roots and eventual loss by covering it with a cap.
  • Durability: Porcelain crowns can last ten to fifteen years or more if proper dental hygiene is maintained.
