While dental crowns are mostly thought of as a restorative treatment, they also offer many cosmetic benefits. Some patients choose to cover a tooth that has aesthetic problems like discoloration, chips, or is awkwardly shaped with a crown instead of a veneer or dental bonding. This improves the appearance of the tooth without compromising its durability.
Crowns protect teeth from breakage and reinforce their strength by encapsulating weak or worn-down teeth with strong and durable materials that provide a solid base of protection when you use the tooth to grind and chew food.
Protecting a tooth with a crown now can prevent breakage and infection, which will require more invasive treatment later. Crowns are preventative and keep the existing tooth intact, which is important for your oral health and development.
Dr. Goodyke will need to examine and take digital scans of your tooth to ensure that you don’t need any other restorative treatment like fillings or root canal therapy to treat decay or infection. After assessing the state of your tooth, he will determine if your tooth is suitable for a dental crown or if it needs to be extracted.
After numbing your mouth, our Sparta dentist will reshape your tooth in preparation for your crown. This involves removing a layer of enamel from around your tooth, which is proportional to the thickness of the crown.
After trimming and shaping your tooth, we will take impressions or digital scans with an intraoral camera and send this to a dental lab.
Using your impressions as a mold, the dental lab will design and create a tailor-made crown that will fit over your tooth and look incredibly natural. We will bond a temporary crown over your tooth while you wait for the fabrication of your permanent one.
Once your crown has been created, we will check that it fits properly and then cement it to your tooth.
Crowns last, on average, for about 5 to 15 years, but certain materials can last for well up to 20 with proper care. The lifespan of a crown can depend on many factors, including:
To protect your crowns from stains and wear and tear, follow these tips:
Dr. Goodyke will assess the condition of your tooth to determine if you’re a good candidate for a crown during your consultation. You shouldn’t have any active oral health problems, but patients with damaged, weak, broken, chipped or worn down teeth can benefit from the protection of dental crowns.
"We treat each person like they are our own family members and we are very deliberate and thorough in providing the highest quality care that we can achieve."
