WHAT IS A CROWN?
A dental crown is a dental restoration treatment that caps or encircles a tooth. A crown maybe needed where a significant cavity threatens the health of a tooth. Fitting a crown involves shaving the problematic tooth down and fixing a prosthetic crown over the top resulting in a natural looking tooth. This treatment will involve two visits to Diamond Dental.
There are different types of crowns.
METAL CROWNS
Metal crowns can be made from different types of metals (including gold). Metal crowns are extremely resilient. They can withstand chewing and biting forces and are considered among the longest lasting terms of wear down. Diamond Dental crowns are rarely known to chip or break.
PORCELAIN-FUSED-METAL
This is the best option in terms of aesthetics. The down side of porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns is that they are extremely wearing to the opposing teeth when compared to metal or resin crowns. The porcelain part of the crown can chip and eventually break off. If this happens, the underlying metal can show through as a dark line on the gum line.
How crowns work
Diamond Dental crowns require two visits to our clinic. Your first appointment, your dentist will prep and take an impression of the area.
To fit a crown, your dentist will drill down the existing tooth leaving it looking like a peg. This is the area where you new crown sit over. We will then take an impression and send it to our technicians to create your new white teeth caps.
While waiting for your second appointment, we will provide you with a temporary crown to protect the prepped area.
