    DENTAL CROWNS

    In a nutshell, a dental crown is basically a cap that gets placed over an existing tooth that has been damaged somehow.
    This cap can be made of:
    • porcelain
    • ceramic
    • some type of metal
    • composite material
    Dental crowns can be placed over front teeth as well as rear teeth, with rear teeth generally being molars that are seldom visible. When the front teeth are operated on, the material used will be color-matched to your existing teeth, so the dental crowns won’t be visible.

    The specific type of dental crown you choose will generally depend on the kind of durability you’re looking for, the strength of the material, and the cost of the material.

    People who consider having dental crowns installed will generally have one of several conditions which need to be addressed.
    • One good example is when you have a large cavity that is so big that a filling would be ineffective.
    • You might also want to have a dental crown installed over a tooth that has become severely worn down.
    • In some cases, cracked teeth are crowned to add strength and protect against further damage.
    • Teeth that have become weakened in place will also benefit by having dental crowns installed.
    It happens fairly often that crowns are installed over teeth after a root canal has been performed. This is because, following a root canal procedure, a tooth is much more fragile and generally in need of greater protection.
    Other situations indicating dental crowns are when you might be missing a tooth, or if your dentist is installing a tooth implant or dental bridge.
