A dental crown is a cap that is placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are often used after a root canal procedure to provide protection to a tooth that has become fragile or to cover a tooth with extensive decay or a large filling. They can also be used to improve the aesthetic appearance of a tooth that is misshapen or discolored. Crowns are typically made from durable materials such as porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of these materials, depending on the location of the tooth and the patient's needs.
The process of getting a dental crown generally requires two visits. During the first visit, the dentist prepares the tooth by removing any decayed or damaged tissue and reshaping the tooth to ensure a proper fit for the crown. An impression of the tooth is then taken to create a custom crown. In the meantime, a temporary crown may be placed. On the second visit, the permanent crown is cemented onto the tooth. With proper care, dental crowns can last for many years, providing a long-term solution for restoring function and aesthetics to a compromised tooth.
