Crowns

Crowns (Caps)

Crowns are restorations with full coverage that cover teeth that are susceptible to breaking or too damaged to be repaired with a filling. Crowns are typically used following root canal treatments, when a filling wears away, or when the tooth breaks. The more significant the gap created by cavities is, the more likely a crown is required.

Dental crowns are among the most popular dental procedures that dentists perform, and they can be used to protect the tooth from damage to improve your smile. This article will provide all you should know about dental crowns, such as their purpose, kinds, procedures, and price.

Even after a filling has been placed in a large cavity, teeth are more likely to fracture. Remember that the jaw muscles are among the strongest in our body. Teeth are exposed to a lot of pressure. Crowns are inserted on the tooth that is weak and provides strength, as well as protects the tooth from damage. A tooth that is cracked or broken is a more severe problem and far more challenging to treat than a minor tooth cavity.


What exactly is a dental crown?

The dental crown can be described as a cap your dentist applies to the tooth to replace the tooth's natural crown (the visible part on the surface of your tooth). Crowns for dental use are fixed to teeth that are damaged, fractured, or overly decayed. The dental crown can restore the tooth's original shape, size, and function.


Need for Dental Crown

A dentist might recommend a dental crown if:

A tooth's cavity may be too big to fill.

If you have a weak tooth, whether it's cracked or worn down

You have had the root canal treatment, and a crown is required to safeguard the newly created tooth.

The dental implant was placed.

Your tooth has discoloration or is unusually shaped, and you would like to improve the appearance of your teeth.


It takes two visits to fix a tooth by using the crown. The first visit is when the decay is completely taken off of the tooth, and it is prepared to receive the crown. An impression is taken of the tooth that can be used to create peaks. Between these two visits, the crown is constructed mainly of high-strength, high-strength porcelain with a gold alloy, all ceramic material or gold. During this period, it is necessary to wear a temporary crown worn. On the second occasion, the temporary crown is removed, and the permanent crown is adjusted as required and cemented into place.
