What are dental crowns?

Crowns can fix many severe dental problems caused by injuries to your teeth, common issues like cavities, or worn teeth due to aging. A crown provides a long-term, natural-looking solution that improves both the appearance and function of your teeth.

Crowns are caps that are placed over damaged teeth. They are made of high-grade porcelain that looks and feels like your natural teeth. They provide long-term, reliable support for your teeth so you have a complete smile and functional bite. Most crowns last 20 to 30 years, protecting the damaged tooth from further harm. Crowns can also be replaced if they get damaged.

The Process

Sometimes decay or fracture compromises more tooth structure than can be fixed by a filling. Any decay that exists must be removed. Some of the area where decay was removed is then replaced with restorative material. The tooth (including the portion already replaced) is then covered with the crown. Once completed, a tooth with a crown looks like a natural tooth.

The Benefit

The benefit of wearing a crown is that it surrounds and protects the tooth. This means that regardless of how damaged the tooth was, you can eat your favorite foods without fear of discomfort. A crown can restore the functionality of your mouth by making it easy to eat, drink and speak like normal. This is ideal for people that are suffering from severely sensitive teeth, have a cracked or chipped tooth, or have undergone a root canal.
