What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made prosthetic that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth like a helmet or cap, restoring its shape and strength. At our Marysville practice, dental crowns can be crafted from gold, other metals, ceramic, or zirconia, giving our team the flexibility to choose the best material for your smile's specific needs.
Crowns are commonly recommended for teeth with decay too extensive for a filling, that have undergone root canal treatment, or that need protection after a fracture or break. If you have a tooth that looks broken or black with decay, a crown might be able to save it.
The Process of Getting a Dental Crown
The process of getting a dental crown is very simple, and typically only takes two visits from start to finish. During your first appointment, our team will numb the area and gently remove any damaged tooth structure and build it back up with durable bonding material to make a stable "post" for the crown.
From there, we'll take a digital scan of your teeth to create impressions of your smile. These are like blueprints that we send off to a local dental lab that will design and craft your custom restoration over the next couple of weeks.
But you won't be without a tooth. Before you leave, a temporary crown is placed to protect your smile while your permanent one is made. Once it's ready, you'll return for a short second visit, where our team will remove the temporary crown and carefully fit and bond your custom restoration into place.
Benefits of Getting a Dental Crown
Dental crowns do more than repair a damaged tooth—they restore full function and confidence in your smile. Some of the key benefits include:
- Durable Protection: Protects vulnerable teeth from further decay or fracture.
- Natural Appearance: Each restoration is custom-crafted to blend into your surrounding teeth.
- Restored Function: Eat and speak comfortably without worrying about pain or sensitivity.
- Long-Term Strength: With proper care, crowns can last 5 to 10 years or even longer.
