What is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a cap designed to fit over teeth that have been damaged by infection, injury, or an intensive dental procedure such as a root canal. These appliances were usually made from gold or another precious metal in the past, but modern crowns are typically made with high-quality, natural-looking materials to create a functional and lifelike restoration. Almost anyone with compromised teeth can be an excellent candidate for dental crowns after resolving any tooth decay or gum disease.

The Dental Crown Process

Placing a dental crown usually takes at least two appointments. During the first, you’ll receive a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort before our team reshapes the tooth being treated to remove any decayed matter and make room for the appliance. Then, we’ll take bite impressions to be sent to a lab where a skilled technician will manufacture your crown. We’ll then cement a temporary restoration in place so you can get used to wearing it before sending you on your way.

You’ll come back to our office in Brooklyn about two weeks later after your crown is completed. Then, we’ll remove the temporary appliance and cement the permanent one in place. After we make any final adjustments, your tooth will be ready to go. While many crowns have been made from precious metals like silver or gold, we prefer to make ours from high-quality and lifelike dental materials so they are indistinguishable from your natural teeth.

The Benefits of Getting a Dental Crown

Neglecting to restore a damaged tooth can eventually lead to serious consequences for your oral health such as further decay or tooth loss. Receiving a dental crown, on the other hand, can deliver a range of impressive benefits such as:

Feeling completely natural
Improving chewing ability
Protecting natural teeth from injury and infection, which can save them from extraction
Addressing several dental problems with one treatment
Being virtually indistinguishable from your surrounding teeth

With excellent care that includes proper oral hygiene at home and attending routine exams and cleanings at our Brooklyn office, your dental crown may last for as long as fifteen years before needing replacement.
