Crowns are a very popular form of dental treatment or dental implant, as they help patients with teeth that are broken or damaged. It is highly unlikely for patients to have any problems with a crown, as they are very durable and remain stable in the mouth for many decades. Many patients have reported their crowns lasting in excess of fifty years or more. There is a possibility of a temporary crown giving problems however, as these are fitted while your permanent crown is being made up. The permanent crown is fitted with a much stronger form of cement. It is unlikely that a permanent crown should give problems.
A cosmetic dentist will create a dental impression of the prepared tooth; the crown is then fabricated outside of the mouth. This is an indirect method of tooth restoration, and one that allows the use of materials that are sturdy, but will require much time on your behalf, as well as multiple visits. As always, technology continues to advance at a rapid rate, this has increased the development of both bridge and crown fabrication techniques allowing for CAD/CAM Dentistry. This is Computer-Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing.
A crown is also known as a "cap" and is placed over the damaged
tooth; this in turn protects the damaged tooth from additional
damage. Crowns are made from various materials including ceramics
or porcelain. These materials normally work best as they look
exactly like a normal tooth and therefore do not look out of
place in the mouth. The better the quality of the crown, the
more expensive the crown will be. A gold crown will last the
longest, yet ceramic restoration remains as one of the more
popular dental crown options. Very often, the fitting of the
crown will be done over two phases - should you be having more
than one crown fitted, this will obviously make the process
slightly longer. Once the crown is fitted, it may feel slightly
awkward to begin with, but over a few days you will get used
to it, eventually not noticing it in your mouth anymore. Your
smile is your passport to a lifetime of happiness. Consult FHF
