The Role of Dental Crowns in Oral Health

A dental crown is essentially a cap placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are used in various situations, such as:

Protecting a weak tooth from breaking or holding together parts of a cracked tooth.
Restoring a broken or severely worn down tooth.
Covering and supporting a tooth with a large filling when there isn’t a lot of tooth left.
Holding a dental bridge in place or covering a dental implant.
Improving the appearance of a tooth by covering misshapen or severely discolored teeth.

The Process of Getting a Dental Crown

Getting a dental crown at Wolski Dental Group typically involves a few key steps:

Initial Consultation and Tooth Preparation

We start with a thorough examination. The tooth receiving the crown is reshaped to make room for the crown itself. An impression of the tooth is then taken to create your custom crown.

Custom Crown Creation

Your crown is crafted in a dental lab to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth for a seamless look.

Temporary Crown Placement

A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while your custom crown is being made.

Final Crown Placement

Once your custom crown is ready, it’s placed over your tooth, adjusted for fit and comfort, and then cemented into place.

The Advantages of Choosing Dental Crowns

Dental crowns offer several benefits, including:

Restoring the functionality of your teeth, allowing you to eat and speak comfortably.
Enhancing the aesthetic appearance of your smile by covering discolored or misshapen teeth.
Offering a long-term solution with crowns that can last for many years with proper care.

Caring for Your Dental Crowns

Maintaining your dental crowns involves simple yet effective steps:

Practice good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly.
Avoid chewing hard foods or ice to prevent damage to the crown.
