What is a dental crown?
Commonly used on broken or weakened teeth, the finished cap comes in various materials and can replace any tooth. A dental crown is artificial cap fitted on a damaged tooth to give a natural appearance and protect the remaining tooth structure.
Porcelain and gold crowns are the strongest option, created from a gold thimble with a porcelain veneer. The inherent strength of the gold base ensures the finished product is long-lasting and ideal for use at the back of the mouth.
Dental Crown Procedure:
Once you have selected your material, your dentist will prepare the outer surface of the remaining tooth and take an impression. It will then send this to the lab where a technician will create a bespoke unit to your specifications. A fitting will then take place. At which point, a local anaesthetic will numb the area and prevent pain.
If well maintained, a crown should last between 20 and 30 years. However, this depends on the material used, the location of the treatment and the aftercare administered by the patient.
