CROWNS
WHAT IS A DENTAL CROWN?
Dental crowns, also known as caps, are custom-made restorations that are designed to cover or replace damaged, decayed, or misshapen teeth. They can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, metal, ceramic, or a combination of these materials. Crowns are typically recommended when a tooth is too damaged or weakened to be restored with a filling or bonding, or when a tooth needs to be replaced with a dental implant. The crown is cemented onto the existing tooth structure or implant, providing a strong, durable, and natural-looking restoration. With proper care and maintenance, a dental crown can last for many years.

Dental crowns can offer a number of benefits for your oral health and overall well-being. By restoring damaged or decayed teeth, crowns can improve your ability to chew and speak, and can prevent further damage or decay from occurring. They can also help protect your teeth from sensitivity and pain caused by exposed nerves or root canals. Additionally, crowns can improve the appearance of your smile by covering up discolored, misshapen, or crooked teeth. With proper care and maintenance, a dental crown can provide a long-lasting and reliable solution for your dental needs. If you’re considering a dental crown, it’s important to consult with a dental professional to determine if it’s the right treatment for your specific situation.

EVALUATION AND PLANNING
During this initial consultation, the dentist will assess the condition of your tooth and determine if a dental crown is necessary. If it is determined that you need a dental crown, a detailed treatment plan will be created.
TOOTH PREPARATION
This involves removing any decay or previous restoration and reducing the size of the tooth to allow the crown to fit properly. The dentist will use specialized dental instruments to sculpt the tooth and create an appropriate shape for the crown.
IMPRESSION TAKING
After the tooth preparation, impressions of your mouth will be taken. The impressions allow the dental laboratory to create an accurate replica of your tooth to ensure a perfect fit for the crown.
PLACEMENT OF A TEMPORARY CROWN
While the custom dental crown is being fabricated, a temporary crown may be placed to protect the prepared tooth.
PLACEMENT OF THE PERMANENT CROWN
The dentist will remove the temporary crown, clean and condition the prepared tooth, and then place the permanent crown. The dentist will check the fit and occlusion of the crown to ensure that it is comfortable and functional.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
After the placement of the dental crown, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene. Additionally, avoid biting on hard objects or sticky foods that may damage the crown. With a proper dental care routine, a dental crown can last for many years.
TREATMENT PROCESS
Reading the steps of a dental treatment is of utmost importance to ensure a successful outcome. Each step of the treatment is crucial and builds upon the previous one. Understanding the sequence of events allows the patient to be prepared for what is to come and to be aware of any potential risks or complications. By reading the steps, patients can ask questions and clarify any doubts they may have, which in turn allows them to feel more comfortable and confident during the procedure. Additionally, knowing the steps of the treatment helps patients to take an active role in their oral health and to be aware of the long-term maintenance required for a healthy and beautiful smile.
