Crowns are synthetic caps, usually made of a material like porcelain, placed on the top of a tooth.
Crowns are usually used to restore a tooth's function and look following a restorative procedure such as a root canal. When decay in a tooth has actually become so advanced that huge parts of the tooth must be eliminated, crowns are often used to fix the tooth.
Crowns are also used to prevent a broken tooth from becoming worse, connect bridges, cover implants, or an existing filling is at risk of becoming loose or dislocated. Crowns also serve as an aesthetic use, and are used when a discolored or stained tooth needs to be restored to its natural look.
Procedures
A tooth should generally be decreased in size to accommodate a crown. A cast is made from the existing tooth and an impression is made. The impression is sent to a unique lab, which manufactures a custom-designed crown. In many cases, a temporary crown is applied until the permanent crown is ready. Permanent crowns are cemented in place.
Crowns are in some cases mistaken as veneers, but they are fairly different. Veneers are usually applied just to fairly little locations.
Taking care of Your Crowns
With correct care, a good quality crown might last as much as eight years or longer. It is extremely important to floss in the location of the crown to prevent excess plaque or collection of debris around the restoration.
Certain habits such as jaw clenching or bruxism (teeth grinding) considerably reduce the life of a crown. Furthermore, eating brittle foods, ice or hard candy can compromise the adhesion of the crown, or perhaps harm the crown.
