Do​ ​You​ ​Need​ ​a​ ​Dental​ ​Crown? What​ ​Is​ ​a​ ​Dental​ ​Crown? It​ ​is​ ​important​ ​to​ ​visit​ ​your​ ​family​ ​dentist​ ​at​ ​least​ ​twice​ ​a​ ​year​ ​for​ ​a​ ​routine​ ​checkup​ ​or​ ​when​ ​you

have​ ​a​ ​dental​ ​emergency.​ ​If​ ​you​ ​are​ ​brushing​ ​and​ ​flossing​ ​your​ ​teeth​ ​frequently,​ ​then​ ​you​ ​likely won’t​ ​develop​ ​any​ ​decay​ ​in​ ​your​ ​teeth​ ​or​ ​inflammation​ ​in​ ​your​ ​gum​ ​tissue.​ ​With​ ​proper​ ​dental care,​ ​you​ ​probably​ ​will​ ​never​ ​require​ ​a​ ​dental​ ​crown,​ ​but​ ​in​ ​some​ ​cases,​ ​a​ ​dentist​ ​will recommend​ ​this​ ​restoration​ ​to​ ​save​ ​the​ ​underlying​ ​tooth.

Dental​ ​crowns​ ​are​ ​customized​ ​restorations​ ​that​ ​are​ ​designed​ ​to​ ​fit​ ​precisely​ ​over​ ​and​ ​around​ ​a

natural​ ​tooth.​ ​A​ ​dental​ ​crown​ ​is​ ​required​ ​when​ ​a​ ​natural​ ​tooth​ ​has​ ​a​ ​large​ ​cavity​ ​or​ ​severe​ ​injury that​ ​reduces​ ​its​ ​strength.

You​ ​Must​ ​Visit​ ​a​ ​Dentist​ ​More​ ​Than​ ​Once If​ ​you​ ​require​ ​a​ ​dental​ ​crown​ ​due​ ​to​ ​an​ ​injury​ ​or​ ​decay,​ ​then​ ​you​ ​must​ ​visit​ ​a​ ​dentist​ ​more​ ​than once.​ ​In​ ​some​ ​cases,​ ​a​ ​dentist​ ​will​ ​create​ ​a​ ​temporary​ ​restoration​ ​to​ ​protect​ ​your​ ​natural​ ​tooth while​ ​the​ ​custom-fitted​ ​crown​ ​is​ ​made​ ​in​ ​a​ ​dental​ ​laboratory.

At​ ​the​ ​dentist’s​ ​office,​ ​you​ ​will​ ​undergo​ ​a​ ​physical​ ​examination​ ​of​ ​your​ ​oral​ ​cavity​ ​along​ ​with

having​ ​medical​ ​images​ ​collected.​ ​When​ ​a​ ​natural​ ​tooth​ ​has​ ​decay,​ ​a​ ​dentist​ ​will​ ​remove​ ​the bacteria​ ​to​ ​prevent​ ​additional​ ​inflammation.

If​ ​you​ ​have​ ​injured​ ​a​ ​tooth​ ​while​ ​playing​ ​sports​ ​or​ ​during​ ​a​ ​vehicular​ ​collision,​ ​then​ ​your​ ​dentist will​ ​shape​ ​the​ ​tooth​ ​to​ ​cover​ ​it​ ​with​ ​a​ ​temporary​ ​restoration. Dental​ ​Laboratory​ ​Technicians​ ​Design​ ​Dental​ ​Crowns This​ ​first​ ​appointment​ ​requires​ ​an​ ​hour​ ​or​ ​less​ ​because​ ​a​ ​dentist​ ​uses​ ​computer-imaging

software​ ​to​ ​measure​ ​your​ ​natural​ ​tooth​ ​along​ ​with​ ​collecting​ ​a​ ​mold​ ​to​ ​order​ ​the​ ​permanent dental​ ​crown.

The​ ​mold​ ​of​ ​your​ ​natural​ ​tooth​ ​and​ ​the​ ​X-rays​ ​are​ ​sent​ ​to​ ​a​ ​dental​ ​laboratory​ ​where​ ​technicians will​ ​make​ ​a​ ​natural-looking​ ​dental​ ​crown.​ ​These​ ​restorations​ ​are​ ​made​ ​of​ ​durable​ ​composite materials​ ​or​ ​porcelain.


A​ ​dental​ ​crown​ ​is​ ​designed​ ​to​ ​fit​ ​securely​ ​over​ ​a​ ​natural​ ​tooth​ ​from​ ​the​ ​top​ ​to​ ​the​ ​bottom​ ​to protect​ ​the​ ​underlying​ ​enamel,​ ​pulp​ ​and​ ​nerves. Dental​ ​Crowns​ ​After​ ​a​ ​Root​ ​Canal In​ ​some​ ​cases,​ ​a​ ​dentist​ ​will​ ​need​ ​to​ ​remove​ ​the​ ​pulp,​ ​nerves​ ​and​ ​roots​ ​of​ ​the​ ​natural​ ​tooth

because​ ​there​ ​is​ ​a​ ​serious​ ​infection,​ ​and​ ​this​ ​root​ ​canal​ ​procedure​ ​requires​ ​additional​ ​time​ ​to complete.

To​ ​reach​ ​the​ ​interior​ ​portions​ ​of​ ​the​ ​infected​ ​tooth,​ ​a​ ​dentist​ ​will​ ​remove​ ​the​ ​top​ ​of​ ​the​ ​tooth.

After​ ​all​ ​of​ ​the​ ​interior​ ​tissue​ ​is​ ​removed​ ​from​ ​the​ ​tooth,​ ​the​ ​dentist​ ​must​ ​fill​ ​it​ ​with​ ​a​ ​waterproof substance​ ​that​ ​supports​ ​the​ ​surrounding​ ​enamel.

Dental​ ​Crowns​ ​Can​ ​Last​ ​for​ ​Many​ ​Years​ ​With​ ​the​ ​Proper​ ​Care When​ ​a​ ​dental​ ​crown​ ​is​ ​designed,​ ​the​ ​dentist​ ​has​ ​three​ ​goals​ ​for​ ​the​ ​restoration​ ​that​ ​include: •​ ​Creating​ ​a​ ​color-matching​ ​restoration​ ​that​ ​looks​ ​attractive •​ ​Making​ ​sure​ ​that​ ​the​ ​underlying​ ​natural​ ​tooth​ ​is​ ​protected

•​ ​Having​ ​a​ ​sturdy​ ​biting​ ​surface​ ​that​ ​permits​ ​consuming​ ​food As​ ​a​ ​dental​ ​crown​ ​is​ ​placed​ ​over​ ​your​ ​natural​ ​tooth,​ ​it​ ​is​ ​cemented​ ​to​ ​remain​ ​in​ ​place​ ​for​ ​many years.​ ​The​ ​average​ ​dental​ ​crown​ ​will​ ​last​ ​for​ ​10​ ​years​ ​with​ ​proper​ ​care.

To​ ​keep​ ​a​ ​dental​ ​crown​ ​looking​ ​beautiful,​ ​you​ ​must​ ​continue​ ​to​ ​brush​ ​and​ ​floss​ ​your​ ​teeth​ ​along with​ ​visiting​ ​your​ ​family​ ​dentist​ ​twice​ ​a​ ​year.
