What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength and appearance. Crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal or a combination of these.
Benefits of Dental Crowns:
- Protection: Crowns protect weak or damaged teeth from further decay or breakage.
- Restoration: They restore the shape and size of a tooth, improving its functionality for biting and chewing.
- Aesthetic Enhancement: Crowns can improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth.
- Longevity: With proper care, dental crowns can last many years, providing a durable solution for tooth restoration.
The Dental Crown Process:
- Initial Consultation: Dr. Priyang Chaudhari or Dr. Sumit Moradia will evaluate your tooth and discuss the best crown options for your needs.
- Tooth Preparation: The damaged tooth is reshaped to accommodate the crown. This may involve removing some of the tooth structure to ensure a proper fit.
- Impressions and Temporary Crown: Impressions of your tooth are taken to create a custom crown. A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while the permanent crown is being made.
- Crown Placement: Once the custom crown is ready, it is permanently cemented onto your tooth, restoring its appearance and function.
Aftercare:
- Oral Hygiene: Maintain good oral hygiene practices, including brushing and flossing, to keep your crown and surrounding teeth healthy.
- Regular Checkups: Schedule regular visits at Smile Studio of Harleysville to monitor the condition of your crown and overall dental health.
