What are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns, also known as tooth crowns or dental caps, are custom-made prosthetic restorations that encase a damaged or weakened tooth. Crafted from durable materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys, dental crowns are designed to mimic the appearance and functionality of natural teeth. They provide a protective layer that strengthens the tooth, restores its shape, and improves its overall aesthetics.

How Long Do Tooth Crowns Last?

The lifespan of dental crowns varies depending on several factors, including oral hygiene practices, regular dental visits, and the material used. On average, dental crowns can last between 10 to 15 years or even longer with proper care. Maintaining good oral hygiene, avoiding excessive forces on the crown, and scheduling routine dental check-ups can significantly extend the lifespan of your dental crown.

Who Needs Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are recommended for various dental conditions and situations, including:

• Severe tooth decay: When a tooth is extensively decayed and cannot be adequately restored with a filling, a dental crown provides strength and protection.
• Cracked or fractured teeth: Dental crowns can stabilize and protect teeth with cracks or fractures, preventing further damage and potential tooth loss.
• Root canal treatment: After undergoing root canal therapy, a dental crown is often placed to protect the treated tooth and restore its functionality.
• Misshapen or discolored teeth: Dental crowns can improve the appearance of teeth that are severely misshapen or have deep stains that cannot be corrected with other cosmetic treatments.
• Tooth replacement: Dental crowns are used in conjunction with dental implants or dental bridges to replace missing teeth, providing a natural-looking and functional restoration.
