Restoring your smile may take the work of crowns and bridges that help to fill in gaps and spaces where you are missing dentition. The process of having crowns and bridges placed is relatively easy, and are some of the most common procedures done in the office.
A crown, or cap, is meant to cover a tooth completely that has been compromised in some way, usually with root canal therapy, and helps to achieve the appearance, size, shape and functionality of a full tooth. Crowns can be made using a variety of different materials. Two of the most common materials used to create crowns are porcelain and zirconia. Porcelain is often fused to metal to create the prosthetic, while zirconia acts on its own as a durable and long-lasting dental option.
There are many reasons why you would need a dental crown that include:
In order to protect a weak tooth from decay from breaking or cracking
To restore an already broken tooth
To cover and support a tooth with a large filling
To hold a dental bridge in place or cover a dental implant
To make a cosmetic modification
The procedure to have a crown placed is easy and can be done quickly. First, the area that will be holding onto the crown will be filed down to hold onto the prosthetic. Impressions will be made of the area and sent to a lab for the crown or bridge to be specially made for you. You will go home the same day with a temporary crown or bridge until the actual prosthetic comes in. Once it arrives, the temporary will be removed and the crown or bridge will be adjusted to fit perfectly. It will then be cemented into place and you will have a new functioning and restored tooth.
