A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and improve its appearance. It encases the visible portion of the tooth above the gum line.
Dental crowns are recommended for various reasons, including protecting a weak tooth, restoring a broken or worn-down tooth, covering a dental implant, supporting a dental bridge, or enhancing the appearance of a discolored or misshapen tooth.
The process involves several steps. First, the dentist prepares the tooth by removing any decay or damage. Then, impressions are taken to create a custom-fit crown. While the permanent crown is being fabricated, a temporary crown is placed. Once ready, the permanent crown is cemented onto the prepared tooth.
The lifespan of a dental crown can vary depending on factors such as oral hygiene practices, wear and tear, and the material used. On average, crowns can last between 5 and 15 years, or even longer with proper care.
While dental crowns themselves do not whiten, the natural teeth around them can be whitened. It’s important to discuss teeth whitening options with your dentist to ensure a uniform and aesthetically pleasing result.
