What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover the entire visible portion of a tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. They are commonly used to protect damaged teeth, support dental bridges, cover dental implants, and improve the overall look of your smile.

When Are Dental Crowns Necessary?

Dental crowns are versatile restorations used for various dental issues, including:

• Repairing Damaged Teeth: Crowns can restore teeth that are cracked, chipped, or worn down.
• Protecting Weakened Teeth: Teeth weakened by decay or large fillings can be strengthened with crowns.
• Completing Root Canal Therapy: After a root canal, a crown can protect the treated tooth. Explore our root canal therapy services.
• Enhancing Aesthetics: Crowns can cover discolored or misshapen teeth, improving your smile's appearance.
• Anchoring Dental Bridges: Crowns are used to secure dental bridges in place, replacing missing teeth effectively. Find out more on our dental bridges page.

Types of Dental Crowns

All-Ceramic and All-Porcelain Crowns

Ideal for front teeth, these crowns offer a natural appearance that blends seamlessly with your existing teeth. They are biocompatible, making them a good choice for patients with metal allergies.

Metal Crowns

Made from gold, palladium, nickel, or chromium, metal crowns are known for their durability and strength. They are an excellent choice for molars and teeth that require substantial reinforcement.

Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns

These crowns combine the strength of metal with the natural look of porcelain. They provide a durable and aesthetic solution for both front and back teeth.

Resin Crowns

Resin crowns are more affordable and offer a good match with natural teeth. However, they are less durable than other types and may wear down over time.

The Dental Crown Procedure

Our dental crown procedure at North Palm Dental Care is designed for your comfort and convenience:

• Consultation and Assessment: Dr. Chokshi will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if a crown is the best solution. For comprehensive dental care, consider our general dentistry services.
• Tooth Preparation: The tooth receiving the crown is reshaped to make room for the crown. If necessary, decay is removed, and the tooth is built up to support the crown.
• Impressions: Detailed impressions of your teeth are taken to create a precise mold for your custom crown.
• Temporary Crown: A temporary crown is placed to protect the prepared tooth while the permanent crown is being made.
• Final Placement: Once your custom crown is ready, it is fitted, adjusted for comfort and bite, and then permanently cemented in place.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

• Strength and Protection: Crowns reinforce weakened teeth and protect them from further damage.
• Durability: High-quality materials ensure that your crown will last for many years with proper care.
• Natural Appearance: Custom crowns are designed to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth, providing a seamless look.
• Improved Functionality: Crowns restore the full function of your teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile confidently.

Caring for Your Dental Crowns

Proper care and maintenance of your dental crowns are essential to ensure their longevity and your oral health:

• Regular Dental Visits: Schedule routine check-ups and cleanings to monitor the condition of your crowns and overall oral health. Our dental exams and cleanings can help maintain your crowns.
