Dental crowns are designed to fit over a tooth or a series of teeth to protect and strengthen the tooth layers. This sometimes follows procedures such as root canal treatment where needed. Crowns are available in a selection of of materials which include ceramic, gold and porcelain. They are custom-made using dental impressions and fitted to an individual’s teeth during a quick procedure.
Restore functionality
The purpose is to restore functionality to an otherwise compromised tooth, after which you can resume eating as you have done in the past without fear of damaging your teeth. Crowns help to strengthen a damaged tooth and repair it to its former state.
If you are undergoing a root canal the crown will be cast from a set of impressions and fitted onto your tooth after the procedure is successfully completed. When carried out properly no one will be able to notice that you are wearing a crown. It should not affect your speech and you can retain complete functionality of your tooth in just a few days.
Over time, your crown may begin to wear from day-to-day use and require repairing. They also generally need to be replaced if discoloured occurs or where wear is present. Crown replacement treatment is as easy as having one fitted and only requires a quick and easy non-invasive procedure. This can be discussed with your dentist in due time, but with proper care the restorative device should last for a good amount of time.
