What is a Dental Crown?
Dental Crowns, commonly referred to as “dental caps,” are dental restorations that cover all of the surfaces of a damaged tooth, essentially covering up or “capping” it in order to restore it to its natural appearance and shape. Crowns are used to improve the appearance of natural teeth that are malformed, malposition or discoloured. Dental crowns are a great treatment option when previous fillings have fractured or broken, or chipped surfaces are noted, or there is tooth sensitivity involved.
Dental Crowns can be made from various materials, including all-ceramic porcelain, Zirconia-based porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal, full cast metal, and traditional gold. Based on numerous factors, including aesthetics, positioning within your mouth, dental habits such as teeth grinding, and your personal preference, a full assessment by your Mirage Dental dentist will be needed in order to determine which material is appropriate for your situation.
Indicators for requiring a Dental Crown:
- You have a previously filled tooth and there now exists more filling than tooth. This results in the existing tooth structure becoming weakened, and the tooth can no longer support the filling.
- You have extensive damage, decay, or tooth breakage.
- You have discolouration and compromised tooth aesthetics.
- You have fractures in your tooth.
- You have previously had a Root Canal. After root canal therapy, teeth tend to become brittle and more apt to fracture. These teeth need to be protected and strengthened by a replacement crown.
- You have a dental bridge. When missing teeth are replaced with a dental bridge, the adjacent teeth require crowns to support the replacement teeth. These Crowns strengthen and protect the remaining tooth structure while improving the appearance of your teeth.
