  3. Getting A Dental Crown Procedure A dental crown procedure is a process of covering a tooth which is completely worn out. A dental crown procedure can also be done on a cracked tooth or a weak tooth. Sometimes the dental crown procedure is done on someone who had a root canal procedure or a tooth filling procedure. The crown helps to cover the components used during the root canal and filling procedures.

  4. Dental crowns are made of different materials. These are: Ceramic Porcelain Combination of Porcelain and metal Metal Zirconia Composite resin A combination of other materials can also be used to make a crown.

  5. Before a dental crown procedure is carried out, your dentist considers the material to use based on the following factors: Position of the tooth The function of the tooth to be crowned Number of teeth you have The gum tissue If the tooth is easily seen when you smile

  6. What Happens During the Dental Crown Procedure? When you go for a dental crown procedure, your dentist will put a temporary crown on your tooth using an adhesive. The temporary crown is meant to last for a short time, and it isn't as strong as a permanent crown. Your dentist can recommend a partial crown if your tooth is not badly damaged. The partial crown usually covers three-quarter of the tooth. There are two types of dental crown procedures, multi-day procedure and a one-day procedure. Let's discuss the one-day procedure first.

  7. One day Procedure During this procedure, a temporary crown will not be of use. The procedure usually takes 2-4 hours, and you go home with a permanent crown. In this procedure: Your dentist takes photos of the tooth and then scans them to get the image of the tooth. He/she then uses the photos to create a crown. This process can take 2 hours maximum. After he completes creating the crown, your dentist will put the crown on the tooth.

  8. Having a same-day dental crown procedure is fascinating. Sadly not all dentists can do it because of lack of the necessary resources. If you want to get the procedure done in one day, discuss with your dentist to see if he has the technology required.

  9. Multi-Day Procedure The multi-day procedure is a very common crowning procedure. This is what happens during this procedure: Your dentist will prepare the tooth to be crowned and examine it. A mold of your mouth will be taken together with an X-ray if necessary. The dentist will trim the enamel and file the tooth down. Your dentist will make an impression of the tooth and the neighbouring teeth.

  10. The dentist will place a temporary dental crown on the tooth. This is done to protect it from further damage before the permanent crown is put. The impression made from the tooth is sent to the laboratory. The impression is used to make the permanent crown. The dentist will notify you when to go back for the permanent crown so that he/she can cement it down permanently.

  11. Reasons for Having a Dental Crown Procedure There are reasons why you should have a dental crown procedure done on your tooth. Some situations will push you to get one or two. These reasons are: If you have a tooth you feel is weak because of decay and it’s breaking down, then it’s time to get the tooth examined and have it crowned. Restoration of a severely wasted tooth or a broken tooth Helps in holding a dental bridge To cover a badly discoloured tooth. A dental crown is used to hide dental implants. A dental crown can be used for cosmetic modification.

  12. Can a Dental Crown Procedure be done on Children? A dental crown procedure is done on baby teeth if the tooth is extremely decayed. If the baby tooth cannot hold a filling, then a dental crown is placed to prevent further decay.

  13. What Is the Cost of a Dental Crown Procedure? The cost of the dental crown procedure depends on the type of material used and the size of the tooth. A porcelain crown is quite expensive compare to the gold crown. The price of dental porcelain crown ranges from $1000-$2250 per tooth and $850- $2000 per tooth for a dental gold crown. Having a dental crown is good for your damaged teeth to prevent further damage. Dental crowns can take up to 20 years. Take care of your crowns by ensuring your oral hygiene is done properly and regularly.
