What Is a Dental Crown?

Your tooth comes into two parts. The root is the part covered by bone and gums, while the crown is the portion of your tooth visible about your gum line. A crown is a dental restoration that fully encases the visible part of the tooth to restore its form and function. The choice material is porcelain, due to its durability, and its natural-looking results.

Do I Need a Crown?

Unlike dental veneers that are used for minor restorations, you may need a crown to preserve and strengthen a tooth damaged by tooth decay or an injury. Crowns can hold together a cracked, chipped, or broken tooth, and can be used to repair teeth worn by grinding, a condition known as bruxism. They are also used after root canal treatment to prevent a tooth from fracturing.

In the case of tooth loss, dental crowns offer an excellent restorative and cosmetic dentistry solution. They can be used to secure dental bridges, or are attached to abutments placed on dental implants to fully restore the look, feel, and function of natural teeth. Restoring missing teeth is essential because a gap left behind can result in neighboring teeth shifting from their position, affecting the alignment of your bite and potentially causing a painful jaw condition called temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. 

Porcelain crowns are also used for cosmetic dentistry purposes as a component of a smile makeover. They can correct the appearance of imperfections including misshaped, misaligned, or discolored teeth, leaving you with a beautiful smile.
