Perfectly Seamless Tooth Restoration

Custom-crafted to match the natural teeth in color and contour, dental crowns, known as protective “caps,” are applied to teeth that have experienced root canals, discoloration, fractures, decay, or misshaping. Designed to last over 15 years, these crowns also serve to support dental bridges, cap implants, and fulfill cosmetic enhancements for aesthetic purposes.

What’s the Process of Getting a Crown?

Typically, getting a dental crown involves two office visits and is performed by a dentist.

Here is how we go about it:

Examining and Preparing the Tooth

Starting with a thorough dental examination, the dentist evaluates the tooth’s condition and cleans it to ensure optimal preparation for the crown. If there is any breakage or severe decay, damaged areas are carefully removed. This preparation ensures that the dental crown can effectively protect the tooth from future decay and damage.

Shaping the Crown

We begin by taking an impression of your teeth using dental putty, which is essential for crafting full porcelain crowns. Following this, a temporary dental crown is fitted to your teeth until your next appointment. In cases where a dental implant is needed to replace a missing tooth, we also take an impression of the implant and the surrounding teeth. Our laboratory utilizes these impressions to create a custom crown tailored to your specific needs.

Placing the Crown

During your second appointment, we begin by removing the temporary crown and replacing it with the permanent crown. The crown is then securely affixed using durable dental cement or a concealed screw. Finally, we polish the crown and make necessary adjustments to ensure your comfort and a precise fit.

Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and, most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Whether a crown is needed after a root canal depends largely on the tooth’s location in the mouth. Molars and premolars toward the back of the mouth, essential for chewing, typically require crowns. In contrast, incisors or canines, which are less involved in chewing, may not always necessitate crowns after a root canal.

When comparing dental crowns to fillings, one notable advantage of crowns lies in their durability, particularly for teeth with extensive chewing surfaces. Unlike fillings, which can chip or loosen under repeated chewing pressure or clenching, crowns offer a continuous, unbroken surface from gumline to gumline. This design enables them to endure greater forces over an extended period of time, making them a more robust option for long-term dental restoration.

In your mouth, dental crowns fulfill two vital roles. They restore complete tooth functionality, enabling pain-free chewing and closing of teeth without needing to favor one side. Additionally, crowns are crafted to seamlessly blend with your natural teeth, matching their color and contour for a cohesive aesthetic. Interestingly, people often find it difficult to distinguish which tooth has the crown.

In dental procedures, a dental post serves a crucial role by reinforcing the core and base of a dental crown. It is inserted into a prepared root canal when there is insufficient healthy tooth structure to reliably support the crown. Unlike dental implants that are surgically placed in the jawbone, a dental post is cemented into position to provide stability and support for securely attaching the crown to the tooth.

The experience of getting a dental crown can be similar to receiving a filling, depending on your tooth’s condition. We take care to thoroughly numb the area and administer local anesthesia as needed to ensure the preparation process is painless. It’s common to experience some sensitivity or mild soreness in the gums around the tooth shortly after the procedure. If you feel anxious about dental visits, please inform us so we can help alleviate your concerns and ensure your comfort during the appointment.

Dental crowns typically have a lifespan of up to 15 years. However, with consistent care and maintenance, they can potentially last anywhere from 25 to 30 years.

Maintaining your dental crown is similar to caring for a natural tooth. It’s crucial to regularly brush and floss to keep both the crown and the surrounding gum tissue in good health and cleanliness. Regular dental cleanings and checkups are vital for ensuring optimal oral hygiene and extending the lifespan of your crown.
