Teeth are very strong, but they aren’t completely resilient to damage. There are all sorts of different ways that teeth can become damaged, including poor dental hygiene, a sports injury, or an unexpected accident. If you have a tooth that has been harmed, it becomes vulnerable and is more likely to be damaged in the future.

What is a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns are customized, crafted caps that are made to fit over the chewing surface of damaged or weakened teeth above the gumline. This restoration can be made from a variety of different materials, like gold, ceramic, and porcelain. Dental crowns are usually recommended for patients who are experiencing the following problems with their smile:
- Severe decay that has been repaired with a filling
- A broken tooth that needs support
- Tooth that has undergone root canal therapy
- Missing tooth that has been replaced with a dental implant
- Dental bridge that needs support from the adjacent teeth
- Tooth that is severely misshapen or discolored
The Process of Getting a Dental Crown
Having a dental crown placed is relatively straightforward. It can generally be completed in just two appointments. First, we will examine your smile to make sure that a dental crown is the best restoration for you. In order to repair your tooth, a thin layer of enamel must be removed. This creates room for the crown to fit comfortably in your mouth. An impression is taken and sent to the dental laboratory where your crown will be crafted. Until it is ready, you will be given a temporary crown to protect your tooth. It will also help you get used to how your new crown will feel when it is permanently placed during your next appointment.
