Dental Crown
Dentures that cover all of your natural teeth are typically used when your tooth is worn, cracked, or needs strengthening after undergoing root canal treatment, which has left it weak and at risk of cracking.
Dental crowns are used to add strength and durability to a tooth. There are many different materials used to make dental crowns, such as metal, ceramic, or composite, depending on the users needs and the location of the tooth to be covered.
Dental crowns typically take 2-3 visits, including tooth preparation and crown placement in the lab after a scan of your mouth and placement of the crown.
Dental crowns are suitable for cases where teeth are damaged or worn due to various causes, especially in the following cases:
Teeth that have undergone
root canal treatment
(Root Canal Treatment)
When a tooth has undergone root canal treatment, it becomes more fragile. A crown can help strengthen it and prevent it from breaking.
Teeth that are worn down from chewing
If a tooth is worn down from overuse or damaged by an accident, a dental crown can prevent further damage to the tooth.
Teeth that are cracked or broken due to an accident
If a tooth is broken or fractured beyond repair with a standard filling, a crown can restore the tooth to its original appearance and function.
Severely decayed teeth
If the tooth decay cannot be completely filled, or if the filling cannot solve the problem, a dental crown is another good option.
Teeth that are not in a beautiful shape or size
Dental crowns can help improve the shape or size of a tooth, especially if the tooth has been worn down to the point of being imperfectly shaped.
Teeth that have had multiple fillings and cannot be filled again
If a tooth has had multiple fillings and the remaining portion of the tooth is insufficient to support a new filling, a dental crown may be a good option for preserving the tooth for a long time.
