What’s a dental crown

What’s a dental crown is a great question, join me as I tell you all about these new teeth that can be life changing.

A dental crown is a custom-made cap shaped like a tooth that snugly fits over the affected tooth.

The reason is to cover the entire visible portion of the tooth above the gum line.

Crowns are extensively used in dental clinics for tooth restoration where teeth are damaged or decayed.

These tooth-like pieces restore the affected tooth’s shape, strength, size.

One of the main benefits of a crown over your teeth is its appearance in terms of how your new teeth look.

Crowns do an excellent job in bringing a smile back to your face.!

What are dental crowns made from

In Ireland and abroad typically a dental crown will consist of materials made from ceramic, porcelain, metal alloys or a combination of these.

They are designed to fit like a glove over the natural tooth structure, creating a protective cover that encases the tooth.

The aim of a dental crown

The aim of a dental crown is to:

– Restore a significantly damaged or decayed tooth to its original function and appearance

– Protect a weak tooth from further damage or breakage

– Support a tooth that has had a large filling or root canal treatment

– Improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth

– Anchor a dental bridge in place

This may include removing any small amounts of enamel that are lingering on the affected teeth.

The reason for this is to make some room for the dental crowns.

Our dentist will then take some impressions or digital scans of the affected teeth.

These are used to make digital images of the teeth to create a custom made model to fabricate a dental crown.

During this visit a temporary crown may be placed over your teeth.

At the second appointment, the permanent crown is cemented onto the prepared tooth.
