More About Dental Crowns

Dental Crowns: An Overview

Dental crowns are custom-made covers that go over a tooth. They help restore the tooth’s shape, size, and strength while also improving its appearance. Getting a dental restoration with crowns is important for keeping good oral health, especially after issues like severe tooth decay, fractures, or root canal treatments.

There are different types of crowns based on the materials used. Common choices include porcelain, ceramic, gold, and metal crowns. Each type has its pros and cons related to looks, durability, and cost. It’s crucial to know these options to make smart choices about your dental health and care.

Types of Dental Crowns and Their Benefits

Here are some common types of dental crowns and what makes them special:

  • Porcelain Crowns: These crowns look natural and blend well with your real teeth. They are perfect for front teeth and give great cosmetic results.
  • Gold Crowns: Known for their strength, gold crowns hold up well and can handle chewing forces. They are great for back teeth where durability is more important.
  • Metal Crowns: Made from alloys, these crowns are very strong and often used for molars that aren’t visible when you smile.
  • Ceramic Crowns: Made from safe materials, ceramic crowns are good for people who may have allergies to metals. They also look nice and are used for front teeth too.

Which Dental Crown is Right for Me?

Choosing the right dental crown depends on a few important things:

  • Type of Tooth: If you need a crown for a front tooth, you’ll want something that looks natural, like porcelain. For back teeth, stronger materials like gold or metal are better.
  • Dental Health: A dentist can check your tooth and suggest the best crown option based on its condition.
  • Cost: Different crowns come with different price tags. Discussing this with your dentist can help you find one that fits your budget.
  • Crown Fitting Process: The way a crown fits might change based on the type you choose. Talking to dental specialists can help you prepare for what’s next.

What are the Pros and Cons of Porcelain Crowns?

Pros:

  • Aesthetic Appeal: Porcelain crowns match the color of natural teeth well.
  • Biocompatibility: Generally, they are friendly to the body and cause fewer allergic reactions.

Cons:

  • Durability: While they look good, porcelain crowns can chip easier than metal ones.
  • Cost: Depending on the material, they can be pricier compared to other types of crowns.

What are the Advantages of Ceramic Crowns?

Ceramic crowns have some neat benefits:

  • Biocompatible Materials: These crowns work well for patients who have metal allergies.
  • Aesthetic Quality: They provide a natural look, so they are popular in cosmetic dentistry.
  • Durability: Even though they aren’t as tough as metal crowns, improvements in technology have made them last longer and be suitable for many dental restoration options.

How Long do Dental Crowns Last?

The lifespan of dental crowns varies based on a few factors:

  • Material Used: Gold crowns usually last longer than porcelain or ceramic ones, sometimes lasting over 15 years.
  • Oral Care Routine: Keeping up with good dental hygiene can help your crowns last much longer.
  • Wear and Tear: If you grind your teeth or have an improper bite, it can wear down crowns faster.

Most crowns can last between 5 to over 15 years depending on these factors.

The Procedure for Getting a Dental Crown

A dental crown is a type of dental restoration used to cover or protect a damaged tooth. Crowns can help restore the shape, size, strength, and appearance of your teeth. You may need a dental crown if your tooth is broken, worn down, or has had a root canal treatment.

What Happens During the Procedure?

During the crown procedure, your dentist will follow several important steps:

  1. Consultation: First, the dentist will look at your tooth and talk to you about your options. They will explain why you need a dental crown and answer all your questions.
  2. Consent: Before starting, your dentist will ask for your consent. This means you understand what will happen during the procedure.
  3. Tooth Preparation: The dentist prepares your tooth by removing any decay and shaping it so that the crown fits properly.
  4. Taking Impressions: After preparing the tooth, the dentist will take impressions of your teeth. These impressions help create a custom crown that fits just right.
  5. Temporary Crown: While you wait for your permanent crown to be made, the dentist will put a temporary crown on to protect your tooth.
  6. Crown Fitting: When your permanent crown is ready, the dentist will remove the temporary one and fit the new crown. They will make any adjustments needed for comfort.
  7. Final Placement: Finally, the dentist cements the dental crown in place, completing the restoration.

How Long Does It Take to Get a Dental Crown?

Getting a dental crown usually takes two visits to the dentist:

  • First Visit: The first visit, which involves tooth preparation, taking impressions, and placing a temporary crown, typically lasts about 1 to 2 hours.
  • Second Visit: The second visit, for fitting the permanent crown, takes around 30 minutes to an hour.

Crown Recovery and Care

After the procedure, some tooth sensitivity and mild discomfort are normal. Here’s how to ensure a smooth recovery:

  • Follow-Up: If you have ongoing discomfort, check with your dentist to schedule a follow-up appointment.
  • Dental Hygiene: Keep up good oral care by brushing and flossing regularly to support your gum health.
  • Dietary Considerations: Avoid hard or sticky foods while your tooth gets used to the new crown.

FAQs About Dental Crowns

Q: How much do dental crowns cost?
A: The cost for a dental crown varies based on materials, location, and insurance coverage. It’s best to ask your dentist for an estimate.

Q: Can I eat normally with a temporary crown?
A: It’s recommended to stay away from hard or sticky foods with a temporary crown since these can dislodge it.

Q: How long do crowns last?
A: With proper care, dental crowns can last between 5 to 15 years, or even longer.

Questions About Dental Crowns and Bridges

What are the different types of dental crowns?

There are a number of different types of crowns which your dentist will advise you on. Porcelain crowns, gold crowns and porcelain fused to an unseen underlying metal for additional strength. Our dentists will colour-match the porcelain to match the look of your existing teeth.

How long do dental crowns last?

With proper care, a dental crown should ideally last at least 10 years. Regular dental checkups with your dentist will help to prolong the life of your crown as any dental issues can be identified and addressed early.

How much does a dental crown cost?

The cost of a dental crown will depend on what type of crown you require. Our dentist will provide you with an approximate cost before commencing any treatments.

Is a bridge better than a crown?

Crowns are used to repair damaged teeth, whereas the purpose of a bridge  is to replace one or more missing teeth. Bridges use the two adjacent teeth, which are capped to support the bridge, and then the artificial tooth is inserted into the gap.

Can a dental crown make my teeth whiter?

Yes. Most crowns today are made with a porcelain exterior which can be made in any shade of white you desire. Many patients who need to have a crown to repair a tooth choose a brigher colour as part of their smile makeover. With today’s advanced materials, a dental crown or bridge looks just like your natural teeth.

Is it easy to see whether I have a crown or bridge?

Today’s crowns and bridges look so much like the real thing that unless you tell someone that you have had the dental work done, they won’t even know it. This is largely due to the advances in technology so crowns and bridges can be made entirely of porcelain or ceramic so are incredibly beautiful and can blend in seamlessly with your natural teeth.” 

How do I care for my dental crown?

Dental crowns require the same care as you would for your natural teeth. Good oral hygiene like daily flossing and brushing twice a day will keep your crown clean and healthy. Come in for your check and clean every six months, avoid chewing hard foods, ice or other hard objects, and your crown or bridge will last for years to come.”
