What are Dental Crowns? Why Might I Need One?

1. What are Dental Crowns? Why might I need one? Dental crowns are a custom-made, tooth-shaped ‘cap’ which is placed over teeth, usually for protection or cosmetic enhancements. There are various reasons why your dentist may suggest a dental crown for your tooth such as: •Strengthening weakened or cracked teeth •Covering discoloured or poorly shaped teeth, or; •For protection of root-canal treated teeth. Traditional Dental Crowns By tradition dental crowns usually require numerous trips to the dentist, involving taking an impression during the first visit, and a two-week wait for the dental laboratory to develop the final crown. In the meantime, the dentist will place a temporary crown to protect the tooth, but you must wait for the second visit to have complete peace of mind.
