A dental crown, also referred to as a dental cap, represents a tailor-made restoration designed to envelop a tooth that has sustained significant structural damage. Think of it as a protective thimble placed over your finger. Dental crowns serve the purpose of restoring a tooth to its optimal shape and size while concurrently imparting strength and enhancing its aesthetic appeal.
When a gap arises due to a missing tooth (or multiple teeth), a dental bridge offers a reliable solution. A dental bridge, or pontic, is a meticulously crafted synthetic tooth (or teeth) that seamlessly integrates into the vacant space. It becomes a permanent fixture, firmly anchored between two healthy teeth, thereby filling the void left by the missing tooth or teeth. This bridge remains securely in place thanks to the placement of crowns on the adjacent healthy teeth.
Protects severely damaged tooth or tooth weakened by decay, fracture, large fillings or root canal therapy from fracturing. Teeth with large fillings tend to “flex more” forcing the tooth apart possibly causing stress fractures
There are three basic types of materials for dental crowns:
Porcelain fused to metal (PFM) dental crowns and all porcelain crowns are tooth colored crowns. PFM dental crowns offer the best combination of aesthetics and durability. PFM dental crowns are usually used to restore back teeth where the forces of chewing and grinding are strongest. All porcelain crowns are the most aesthetic and are primarily used for front teeth where the need for strength is not as critical. Gold dental crowns are the most durable and offer the most precise fit. Gold dental crowns do not chip.
The course of treatment described here is one of several options available at our dental clinic. Consult your dentist to find out what the best solution is for you, given your specific condition.
Both the preparation and placement of the temporary bridge as well as the bonding of the permanent bridge may cause some minor tenderness in the area. Some individuals may experience sensitivity in teeth. This sensitivity will disappear gradually over a few days to weeks.
Avoid chewing on or eating hard foods on the restorations for 24 hours from the time they were cemented
Dental crowns require the same regular and consistent home and professional dental care, as your natural teeth to prevent decay at the tooth-dental crown junction. To provide optimum longevity for your restorations, please follow the home care tips below:
Brush after eating and before bedtime around the crown with a soft toothbrush, especially where the crown meets the gum line. At the gum line harmful bacteria can be harbored to cause decay and gum disease.
