What is Crowns?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that completely encases the visible portion of a tooth. The crown improves the appearance, shape, size, and strength of the overall tooth.

Parts of a dental crown

A dental crown consists of three main parts: the cap, the abutment, and the base.

The cap is the visible portion of the crown that covers the entire tooth. The abutment is a small metal connector that attaches the crown to your natural tooth. The base is a strong foundation that helps to support the entire crown.

Materials used in dental crowns

Dental crowns can be made from a variety of materials, including composite resin, porcelain, metal, or a combination of these materials.

Procedure for a dental crown

We’ll start by removing any infected or decayed tissue from the tooth before taking a digital impression. With the latest technology, our team will create a custom-made crown that fits your tooth properly–we make sure it matches the shape size and colour of your neighbouring teeth. After placing the new crown on your tooth, we will make the necessary adjustments until it looks just right. Then you are all set to leave with a brand-new smile!

At West Perth Cosmetic Dental, we use the latest technology to create durable same-day dental crowns that look natural and blend in with your existing teeth.

If you’re interested in learning more about dental crowns, we invite you to book a consultation with us. We would be happy to answer any of your questions and help you find the best solution for your oral health needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of dental crowns?

Dental crowns offer a number of benefits, including:

  • Improving the appearance of your smile
  • Restoring the function and strength of your tooth
  • Protecting a weak or damaged tooth from further harm
  • Supporting a dental bridge
  • Enhancing the fit of a dental implant
What are the risks of dental crowns?

Dental crowns are generally safe and effective. However, as with any dental procedure, there are some risks involved. These risks include:

– Allergic reaction to the materials used in the crown
– Discomfort and sensitivity to hot and cold
– Swallowing or inhaling the crown during placement
– Crown coming loose or falling out
– Damage to the tooth underneath the crown
– Infection at the site of the crown

Are dental crowns removable?
Dental crowns are not removable. Once they are cemented in place, they will stay securely attached to your tooth. However, you should take care to brush and floss around your crowns just as you would with your natural teeth to prevent plaque buildup.
How long do dental crowns last?
Dental crowns can last for many years with proper care. However, they may eventually need to be replaced due to wear and tear.
Do dental crowns require special treatment?
No, dental crowns do not require special treatment. Brush, floss and rinse your mouth with mouthwash to keep them clean and avoid clenching or grinding your teeth, as this can damage the crown. Be sure to visit your dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings.
