What is Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are caps placed on top of teeth that are damaged made of metals, porcelain, resin and ceramic. Teeth can get damaged due to decay, infection or injury and in scenarios where fillings are not enough, dental crowns are placed in order to protect, cover and restore the shape of damaged teeth. You can think of the crown as a hat that fits over the damaged tooth. It is cemented onto the tooth and covers only visible part of the tooth.

Who can have dental crowns?

• People with weak or cracked tooth to provide support and strength
• People with misshaped or discolored teeth
• People with dental bridges or dental implants that need to be held in place

How are dental crowns placed?

Dental crowns require a minimum of two visits into the dentist’s office. You will first visit ITMT Group facilities where one of our experiences dentists will examine the damaged tooth. X-rays will be taken of the tooth and the area around it. Sometimes a root canal will be necessary before the crowns are placed will be determined by your dentist.

The tooth that will get the crown will be shaved a little in order to make space for the crown. Then a paste will be put over the tooth in order to make a copy of it. An impression of the tooth will be made so that the crown is an exact fit and it will fit perfectly with the rest of the teeth.

These impressions will then be sent over to our laboratories. They will make the crown and then send it to the dentist’s office. This process may take a few weeks. During this time a temporary crown will be placed on your tooth to provide comfort and convenience.

When the actual crown is ready, you will go back to the dentist’s office. In this visit the permanent crown is cemented on top the tooth. Your dentist will check for any discomfort and discharge you after making sure that everything is in place.

Post dental crown

Some sensitivity or discomfort is very normal right after receiving the crown. It may take a few days to get used to the feeling in the patient’s mouth. On average, crowns last anywhere between 5 to 15 years depending on how good the patient takes care of it. Patient must still follow good oral hygiene in order to protect the tooth under the crown.
