Crowns
Dental crowns are restorative caps placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to enhance its strength and appearance.
They can be used to protect and maximise the strength of teeth with large cavities, fractures, or after a root canal. They can also improve the appearance of misshapen or discoloured teeth.
Crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, metal, or a combination of both. Your dentist will recommend the most suitable material based on the tooth's location and your aesthetic preferences.
You may discuss the specifics of your crown procedure with your dentist, addressing any questions or concerns you may have about the process, materials, or aftercare. Regular check-ups will help monitor the condition of the crown and ensure your overall oral health.
About dental crowns
PROCESS
The process involves preparing the tooth by removing a portion of the outer layer, taking impressions, and placing a temporary crown. A dental lab then fabricates the permanent crown, which is later cemented onto the prepared tooth during a second appointment.
CARE
Maintain regular oral hygiene practices, including brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups. Avoid chewing hard objects or using your teeth for tasks like opening packages.
LONGEVITY
With proper care, dental crowns can last many years. However, they may require replacement over time due to normal wear and tear.
