At Smile Plus Hospital, we understand how important it is to have a smile that’s not only beautiful but also strong and functional. When teeth become damaged, decayed, or worn down, a dental crown may be the perfect solution to restore their appearance and function. Here’s how dental crowns can protect and enhance your smile.
What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. It acts like a protective covering, ensuring the tooth remains intact and preventing further damage. Dental crowns are commonly used to protect weak or decayed teeth, restore broken teeth, or cover large fillings that no longer support the tooth.
The Benefits of Dental Crowns:
- Strength and Durability: Crowns are designed to withstand biting and chewing forces, making them ideal for restoring teeth in areas like the back of the mouth where pressure is greater.
- Aesthetically Pleasing: Made from materials such as porcelain or ceramic, dental crowns can be matched to the color of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless blend with your smile.
- Prevention of Further Damage: By covering a tooth, a crown can prevent it from further breaking, cracking, or decaying.
- Improved Functionality: Crowns can help restore full function to your teeth, making it easier to chew and speak naturally.
- Long-Lasting: With proper care, dental crowns can last for many years, providing a durable and effective solution.
When Are Dental Crowns Needed?
- To protect a weak tooth from breaking or to hold together a cracked tooth.
- To restore a worn-down tooth due to grinding or aging.
- To support a large filling when there’s not enough tooth structure left.
- To cover a tooth after a root canal treatment.
- For cosmetic reasons: To cover misshapen or severely discolored teeth.
The Process of Getting a Dental Crown at Smile Plus Hospital
The process of getting a dental crown is typically done in two visits:
- First Visit: Your dentist will examine the tooth, take X-rays, and prepare it by removing any decayed or damaged tissue. Then, a mold is taken to create your custom crown.
- Second Visit: Once your crown is ready, it’s placed over the tooth, checked for proper fit and comfort, and then cemented in place.
