A dental crown is a hollow false tooth, which is constructed to fit over your existing tooth after it has been trimmed and shaped. The crown covers and «caps» the entire tooth, covering it down to the gum line and restoring the shape, color and function of your tooth.
Porcelain crowns typically last at least 15 years with proper care and maintenance, and it is not uncommon for crowns to last more than 20 years. The porcelain ceramic materials used to construct your crown are very durable and similar to your enamel in strength and hardness, so you can expect your crown to last a long time.
Dental crowns are necessary to repair teeth that are too decayed to treat with a filling or resin (dental shim), and are also used to treat infected teeth after root canals, or to repair a tooth that has been broken or cracked due to oral trauma. The best way to find out if a dental crown is right for you is to contact Tropicana Medical Center.
You can treat a dental crown just like a natural tooth. Brush at least three times a day and floss once a day, and be sure to visit Dr. Sara Vargas for an oral exam and deep cleaning every six months.
No. During the crown placement process, we will anesthetize your mouth to make sure you don't feel any discomfort when the tooth is adjusted to make room to place your crown. We even offer sedation dentistry to make sure you feel completely safe and comfortable during your appointment.
Crowns are generally used for restorative dentistry, but may be used as a cosmetic treatment in some cases. For example, a badly deformed tooth may not be treatable with dental adhesives or veneers, and may need to be covered and capped with a dental crown.
You will not have any downtime after your crown placement. The treatment is non-surgical and does not cause any serious pain or discomfort, so you can return to your daily routine immediately without having to worry about taking time off from work or adjusting your schedule.
