What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength, and function. Crowns can also improve the color and alignment of your teeth.
Common crown materials include:
- Ceramic or porcelain: Mimic the translucency of natural teeth; ideal for front teeth.
- Metal: Extremely durable but more visible.
- Zirconia: Combines durability with a tooth-like appearance.
Of all these materials, ceramic and zirconia crowns are particularly popular because of their lifelike look, stain resistance, and reliable performance.
Why Patients Need Crowns
Dental crowns serve both restorative and cosmetic purposes. You may need a crown if you have:
- A cracked or fractured tooth.
- A tooth that has been weakened by decay or a large filling.
- A tooth treated with a root canal.
- Severe discoloration or misshapen teeth.
- A dental implant that requires restoration.
Our Crown Placement Process
Getting a dental crown at Orchard Meadows Family Dental typically involves two appointments.
First Appointment: Examination and Tooth Preparation
During your initial visit, your dentist examines the affected tooth and the surrounding area using state-of-the-art digital imaging. The tooth is then reshaped to create space for the crown.
After preparation, we take precise intra-oral scans to capture every detail of your tooth, bite, and the opposing arch — the teeth on the jaw opposite the are ghat needs the new crown. A temporary crown protects the tooth while your permanent crown is being crafted by our on-site dental laboratory.
Second Appointment: Custom Crown Placement
Once your permanent crown is ready, you’ll return for your second visit. The temporary crown is removed, and we carefully check the fit, color, and bite of your new restoration.
After making any necessary adjustments, the permanent crown is bonded securely in place, restoring both function and appearance.
