What is a Dental Crown?

Dental crowns are used in multiple instances such as restoration of broken or worn down teeth, covering misshapen or discoloured teeth, protecting weak teeth, holding bridges in place, repairing teeth that have overly large fillings, and many more.

At 123 Dental our crowns are designed using all metal, stainless steel, all ceramic, porcelain infused with metal, porcelain, or all resin. We also offer same day dental crowns (CEREC).

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are a convenient, effective solution for minor dental injuries or cosmetic concerns. They are not only highly effective and efficient but also have a range of other benefits. 

 

Benefits of dental crowns include: 

  • Treat worn, broken or decayed teeth.
  • Protect teeth from wear and tear.
  • Improve chewing function.
  • Improve the straightness and visual appearance of your teeth.
  • Long-lasting if cared for properly.

Our Dental Crown Procedure

The process of getting a crown comprises two visits to the dentist. At the first visit, the dentist performs a thorough examination of the teeth and also prepares the tooth to receive the crown. In this case, the dentist takes X-rays to assess the roots of the affected tooth, as well as, the condition of the surrounding tissue. For teeth that have extensive decay or are symptomatic, it is likely that a root canal treatment will be done.

Using putty, the dentist then takes an impression of the affected tooth and sends the impression to a dental lab for manufacture. In the meantime, the client will be fitted with a temporary crown as the crown is made. In the second visit, the placement of the permanent crown is done.

The dental crown procedure typically takes 1-2 hours. It begins with removing decay and repairing any damage with filling material as a foundation. The tooth is then filed down by 1-2mm to create space for the crown, followed by a 3D digital scan to craft a precise fit. Need a crown fast? Explore our same-day dental crown services today.

FAQ’s

Are Same-Day Crowns as Strong as Regular Crowns?

A CEREC tooth crown utilises ceramic material that offers high durability and longevity. However, the ceramic material is less durable than a crown that uses porcelain fused to metal or a metal alloy option. Still, with proper maintenance and regular dental checkups, a same-day dental crown can last for over a decade. 

How Are Same-Day Crowns Made?

Here are the steps involved in a same day dental crown: 

  1. The damaged tooth is examined to ensure a same day dental crown is the ideal solution
  2. The tooth is prepared by removing any damage or decay 
  3. A scanner creates a fast, accurate 3D digital tooth model
  4. The digital design is used to create a custom, on-site crown in the proper size, shape, and colour in just 15 to 20 minutes
  5. The CEREC dental crown is bonded to the prepared tooth for a long-lasting, natural looking result

Are CEREC Crown Procedures Painful?

CEREC dental crown technology boasts several advantages in terms of comfort compared to traditional crown procedures. The conservative approach of CEREC technology preserves more of the natural tooth structure. This helps make the procedure more comfortable overall. A same day dental crown also eliminates the need for a temporary crown, greatly reducing overall discomfort. 

How Long do Same-Day Crowns Last?

A same day dental crown is permanently bonded to your prepared natural tooth. With proper maintenance, same day crowns are durable and can last for 10 to 15 years.

What Materials are Used for Dental Crowns?

When it comes to permanent crowns, all crowns are designed using all metal, stainless steel, all ceramic, porcelain infused with metal, porcelain, or all resin.

Are There Any Complications with Dental Crowns?

In some cases, the crowned tooth may experience sensitivity after the anesthesia used during the fitting procedure begins to wear out. If the sensitivity or pain is rampant especially when biting down, it could signal that the crown was not well placed, and one may need to visit the dentist to fix the problem. Sometimes the crown can chip, become loose, develop a dark line next to the gum line, or fall off. The dentist can easily sort such eventualities.
