What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made “cap” that covers the entire visible portion of a tooth. It is used to restore the shape, size, and strength of a tooth that has been damaged, weakened, or aesthetically compromised. Crowns are often recommended for:
- Teeth with large fillings or fractures
- Severely worn or cracked teeth
- Restoring teeth after root canal therapy
- Covering dental implants
- Improving the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth
Materials That Match Your Smile
At Woodland Family Dental, we offer tooth-colored crowns made from durable, esthetic materials like porcelain or zirconia. These options are ideal for both front and back teeth, providing a natural look that blends seamlessly with the rest of your smile. We also provide metal or porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns for select cases where additional durability is required.
The Crown Placement Process
- Preparation The tooth is gently reshaped to make room for the crown.
- Digital Impressions We use intraoral scanning for fast, accurate, and mess-free imaging.
- Temporary Crown A temporary crown protects your tooth while the final one is being fabricated.
- Final Placement Once ready, we cement the crown securely in place and make final adjustments for comfort and function.
In some cases, we may offer same-day crowns, depending on your treatment needs and the technology available at the time of your visit.
Benefits of a Dental Crown
- Protects and strengthens a weakened tooth
- Restores normal chewing and bite function
- Improves cosmetic appearance of damaged or discolored teeth
- Long-lasting solution with proper care (10-15 years or more)
According to the American College of Prosthodontists, over 2.3 million implant-supported crowns are made annually, making them one of the most common and effective dental restorations.
Caring for Your Cosmetic Dental Crown
Maintaining good oral hygiene and visiting us for routine cleanings and checkups will help extend the life of your crown. Avoiding hard foods and grinding can also prevent damage. If you clench or grind at night, we may recommend a nightguard to protect your investment.
