What are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are prosthetic covers for your teeth that protect your teeth from further damage. In previous decades, dental crowns were often made of different types of metals such as gold or silver. However, today’s dental crowns are usually comprised of materials that easily blend in with the appearance of your natural teeth.
Once a new crown has been installed it’s very difficult to spot the difference between it and a completely natural tooth. It’s also worth mentioning that modern crowns generally last much longer than the pure metal crowns of yesteryear and there is virtually no risk of allergic reactions.
- There are quite a few reasons you might need a dental crown:
- To cover a dental implant
- To hold together a broken or cracked, but otherwise viable tooth
- To cover a tooth root after a root canal
- To hide teeth that are either misshapen or severely discolored
- To support a dental bridge
- To cover a tooth with a large filling (only if the tooth is worn down)
How are Dental Crowns Installed?
Once the tooth is prepared, usually with a thorough cleaning to ensure that no debris can contaminate the site, the crown can be installed. Not counting prep time, the procedure hardly takes any time at all, and patients can typically return to their normal lives quickly.
Does a dental crown hurt?
For most patients, the actual act of installing a dental crown is relatively painless, though some discomfort is possible. It is important to remember that each procedure is done on a case-by-case basis and sometimes it is necessary to adjust a patient’s teeth before the crown is installed.
In cases such as these, the tooth in question may be filed down before the crown is put in place. Of course, we are expert in the use of appropriate local anesthesia to keep patients comfortable at all times.
