Do You Need a Dental Crown?
There are many reasons you may need a dental crown, including:
- To protect a weak tooth from breaking or decay
- To restore a broken or severely worn down tooth
- To support or cover a tooth with a large filling
- To hold a dental bridge in place
- To cover misshapen or discoloured teeth
- To enclose a dental implant
- To cap a tooth that’s been treated with a root canal
At Happy Dentistry, our dental team will assess your teeth and advise you if your tooth/teeth are in need of a dental crown.
What Happens During a Dental Crown Procedure?
Dental crown procedures will be tailored to your individual case, but we will provide a general overview of what to expect.
Before starting any work on your crown, our dentists will carry out an initial examination of your tooth and mouth, which may include taking x-rays. If decay is found in the tooth, or an infection is diagnosed, you may require other dental treatment such as a filling or a root canal treatment first. Otherwise, our dentists will usually remove a layer of the affected tooth’s outer surface to prepare it for the dental crown procedure.
To make a crown, the dentists will take either a 3D scan or a mould of your teeth. It will be matched to the colour of the other teeth to ensure it blends in.
Our dentists may provide you with a temporary crown to get you through until a permanent one is made. Once the permanent crown is finished, our dentists will fit it in place using a special adhesive or dental cement. A dental crown usually requires at least two visits to your dentist.
