Dental Crowns
Info:
Crowns are also known as a ‘cap’. They are placed over top of a tooth to provide it with protection. The crown itself is used for a variety of reasons including restoration and cosmetic purposes. It is important to note that crowns are no longer just made from gold material.
The strength and seamless appearance of ‘tooth colored’ all porcelain crowns have actually come a long way! They are quite natural looking and very strong. No one ever needs to know that one exists in your mouth – unless you tell them of course.
Why Dental Crown?
Other reasons include the following:
- Protect a broken or weakened tooth
- To replace an existing old filling in a tooth
- Restore a dental implant placed below the gumline
- Eliminate stains or discolouration
- Restore a fractured or broken tooth
Will a Crown Cause Discomfort or Pain?
How is the Crown Placed?
Before a crown is placed over top of a tooth, one of our dentists will examine the tooth to determine if a crown is the best solution. Once it is determined that this is the right solution for you the tooth is prepared, an impression will be taken, so that the crown can be made. After the crown is made and is received in our office from the lab, you will come in for another appointment. The permanent crown will then be placed over the tooth to ensure that it fits and is the right size. Once it is determined it is the correct size and shape, it will be cemented to your tooth.
A temporary crown is always placed over the tooth while the permanent crown is being made. This temporary crown will provide protection to your tooth while we wait for the crown to arrive. The temporary crown will be removed at your appointment to place the permanent crown.
