What Is Dental Crown?
Dental Crown is a custom-made cap designed to completely cover a damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth to restore its original shape, function, and appearance. This restorative option is commonly recommended by the dentist at our affiliated clinic when a natural tooth has lost a significant portion of its structure and can no longer support normal biting forces. By placing a dental crown over the prepared tooth, the dentist ensures long-term protection and stability, allowing the restored tooth to function effectively in everyday chewing and speaking. The dental crown also improves the tooth’s aesthetics, helping to achieve a uniform and natural-looking smile.
In modern dentistry, All-Ceramics Zirconia has become one of the most advanced materials used for dental crowns. This material is made from zirconium oxide, a biocompatible ceramic known for its high strength, durability, and lifelike translucency. Through digital design and precise computer-aided manufacturing, zirconia dental crowns can be shaped and shaded to match surrounding teeth with great accuracy. The absence of metal eliminates the risk of dark gum lines, corrosion, and allergic reactions, making zirconia a preferred option for patients with metal sensitivities.
The benefits of Dental Crown include its visual appeal. This type of restoration is highly resistant to chipping and cracking, making it suitable for both anterior and posterior teeth. In addition, Dental Crown also smooths the surface, reduces plaque buildup and supports healthy gums, promoting better oral hygiene. With proper dental care and regular maintenance, Dental Crown can provide lasting comfort, strength, and aesthetics for many years, maintaining their colour and shine over time.
How It Works
Dental Crown begins with consultation by the dentist at our affiliated clinic, where a thorough oral examination is performed to assess the condition of the affected tooth. The dentist evaluates the degree of decay or damage, checks the surrounding gums, and reviews dental X-rays or digital scans to ensure that the tooth can properly support a dental crown. Once the assessment is complete, the dentist explains the procedure plan, material options, and aesthetic goals.
During the next stage, the dentist at our affiliated clinic reshapes the damaged tooth to create space for the dental crown. A precise impression or digital scan is then taken to capture every contour of the tooth and neighboring structures. This process ensures the final restoration can withstand strong biting forces while maintaining a natural, enamel-like look.
Once the dental crown has been crafted, the dentist performs a fitting session to verify its colour, fit, as well as bite alignment. Any minor adjustments are made before the dental crown is permanently bonded with dental cement. The bonding process secures the dental crown in place, allowing the tooth to regain full function and appearance. The entire procedure generally takes about 60 to 90 minutes per tooth for preparation and placement.
The procedure involves minimal tooth removal, helping preserve more of the natural tooth structure. Recovery is straightforward, with little to no downtime. Patients can usually resume normal activities, eating, and speaking on the same day. Mild sensitivity may occur for 2 to 3 days, especially when consuming very hot or cold foods, but this subsides naturally.
