Dental Crowns

• A crown is a porcelain cap that fits over the entire surface of the tooth.
• A porcelain crown can be formed to resemble natural teeth to the point that it is nearly indistinguishable from the patient’s real ones. Placing a crown restores the tooth’s natural form and its function.
• The difference between a dental crown and a veneer lies in the amount of natural tooth structure that needs to be replaced. Crowns are generally the restoration of choice when more tooth structure has been lost.

Indications for Dental Crowns

• To restore, cover and support heavily-filled, misshapen, discolored and broken-down teeth
• To hold dental bridges in place
• Following a root canal treatment, when there is insufficient natural tooth structure for support.

What to expect?

The preparation process for a dental crown requires two sessions. During the first session, the dentist will initially take X-rays to rule out any infection of the person’s teeth and jaw areas.

The dentist will then apply local anesthesia and proceed to reshaping the tooth that accepts the crown. The dentist creates a cast of the teeth that will receive the crown and sends the cast to a lab specializing in porcelain crowns. While waiting for the permanent crown, the patient will be provided with an interim temporary crown to cover the site.

Once the permanent dental crown has been fabricated, your dentist will replace the temporary crown with the permanent one in the following appointment.

How long do dental crowns last?

Porcelain crowns can last between 10 and 15 years, on average. The lifespan can vary depending on several factors, including:

• Dental hygiene
• Habits that can damage teeth, such as chewing on ice or using teeth to open packaging
• Teeth clenching or grinding due to stress or while sleeping
