Dental Crowns
A crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original sizes and shape. A crown protects and strengthens the tooth structure providing the tooth a longer life span than it would have if restored by fillings or other kinds of restorations.
Crowns are full coverage restorations that are used to cover a tooth that is most likely to break, or is too broken down to be restored with a filling. They are most frequently done after root canal treatments, or when a large filling wears out. The larger the hole made by a cavity that needs to be treated, the more likely a crown will be needed. Even after a filling is put in a large cavity, a tooth is most likely to break. Remember that the jaw muscles are the strongest in the body. Teeth are subjected to tremendous pressures. Crowns ride over the weakened tooth, providing strength and securing the tooth against breakage. A busted or cracked tooth is a much more severe matter and much more tough to treat. Crowns prevent this, as well as making for a good smile.
It takes two appointments to recover a tooth with a crown. In the first visit any decay is removed from the tooth and it is formed to accept the crown. Then an impression is made of the tooth for use in making a crown. In between the two visits the crown is made, typically of high-strength porcelain over gold alloy, all ceramic product, or gold. A short-term crown is worn throughout this time. In the second visit this temporary crown is removed. Then the {permanent crown is adjusted as needed and after that cemented in place.
What Does Getting A Crown Involve?
A crown treatment generally needs 2 visits. Your first visit will include taking impressions that will be used to develop your custom crown. A mold will also be used to create a short-term crown which will remain on your tooth for roughly 2 weeks until your new crown is produced by a dental lab.
While the tooth is numb, the dental practitioner will prepare the tooth by getting rid of any decay and shaping the surface area to correctly fit the crown. As soon as these details are accomplished, your temporary crown will be put with temporary cement and your bite will be examined to ensure you are biting correctly.
At your 2nd visit your temporary crown will be removed, the tooth will be cleaned, and your new crown will be thoroughly positioned to ensure the spacing and bite are precise.
You will be given care guidelines and encouraged to have routine dental check ups to check your crown. As always, appropriate oral hygiene will help extend the life of your new crown.
