Choose Dental Crowns for Optimal Protection

Dental crowns are best used for restoring and reshaping damaged teeth for better function. Our customised dental crowns at Alauna Dental Aesthetics and Implant Center will help you regain any lost dental function as a result of chipping, or decay, or simply cover a root canal procedure. Our customised treatments are designed to tailor your crowns to your dental needs to enhance chewing and improve jaw function and dental appearance.

What is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a cap that is used on top of a damaged decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength. It wraps up the entire portion of the tooth above the gum line, saving it from further damage. Crowns are basically made from different materials, which include porcelain, metal, or even a fusion of the two. They are also applied in situations where the teeth require protection following a root canal.

The Dental Crown Placement Process

Once you have made an appointment at the Alauna Dental Aesthetics and Implant Center, our dentist will remove any damaged/ decayed ename with a dental drill. Impressions of your teeth will be taken by a digital scannerr, and then sent to a lab to create your custom crown. A temporary crown will be placed while waiting. During the next visit, the temporary crown is removed and the new crown is bonded to your tooth with a strong cement.

Once installed, a dental crown allows you to enjoy food and relax your jaw. Benefits include:

Your Best Aftercare Approach

Once you have received dental crown treatments, you would be expected to stay away from certain foods that are too sticky. Another important aftercare tip is to brush twice a day with a soft bristle brush and avoid applying too much pressure on your teeth.

Right Candidate for Dental Crowns

A dental crown candidate is someone who has a damaged or weakened tooth that cannot be restored with just a filling. People with extensive cavities or tooth loss can benefit from dental crown services because they help restore the shape of the tooth.

  • Frequently Asked Questions

    A dental crown can last for years. If properly taken care of, it can last anywhere between five to ten years and occasionally even longer, offering prolonged protection and restoration to the tooth.

    After having placed a crown, do follow up with your dentist after one week. At home, clean with regular brushing and flossing. This will help to keep your crown in good condition. Further, avoid sticky or hard foods for some time.

    Options like veneers or fillings may be suitable based on the tooth’s damage. However, dental crowns provide a more permanent solution for extensive issues, offering better long-term durability.

    Getting a dental crown won’t hurt but may be a bit discomforting. Your dentist will instruct you on the aftercare and prescribe you medication in case you experience irritation.

    Crowns can be made from materials like metal, porcelain, ceramic, or zirconium. Consult with your dentist to determine which material best suits your needs for durability and appearance.

    It should only be a few days or perhaps a week or two before you feel quite comfortable with your new dental crown. If it continues to hurt way beyond that, consult your dentist for further advice or perhaps some minor adjustments.
