Medical Procedure: Dental Crowns

Common Name: Dental Caps, Tooth Caps

Procedure Overview: Dental crowns are used as a way to correct badly damaged or decayed teeth, to strengthen cracked teeth or to improve the appearance of a tooth. Dental crowns are custom-made artificial teeth which are placed over the remains of the natural tooth. Crowns can be made of ceramic, porcelain or metal.Ceramic crowns are the most natural looking of the crowns and are often used on the front teeth. The tooth-colored ceramic crown material is translucent like natural teeth and can be color-matched to a person’s natural tooth color. Ceramic crowns do not function well on the back teeth where they must withstand the pressure of biting and chewing.
Porcelain crowns are stronger than ceramic and more natural looking than metal. However, due to their metal shell, porcelain crowns have an opaque appearance and may wear down over time revealing a thin metal band near the gum line.

Metal crowns are the strongest of all the crowns, but because of their metallic color are often used only on the back teeth where they are out of sight and can withstand the pressure of biting and chewing.

Who is a good candidate for this surgery: Anyone with extensive tooth decay or breakage which cannot be repaired by fillings alone is a good candidate for a crown.

Description of Procedure:The dental crown procedure is often completed in two stages. First, the dentist removes a portion of your damaged tooth to accommodate the fitting of the crown. An impression of your teeth is then sent to a lab where your crown is custom made, usually within two weeks. While waiting for your crown to be made, a temporary crown is put in place to maintain a natural look and feel. Second, the final crown is permanently bonded to your prepared tooth.

Average Procedure length:
The first dental visit to prepare the damaged tooth, take a mold of the teeth and put a temporary crown in place takes approximately one hour. After a 1-2 week wait for the crown to be made in a lab, the final attachment of the permanent crown takes less than 30 minutes.

I can return to work: Immediately

Pain Factor: Numbing of the mouth by injection for the procedure causes some discomfort. Once the permanent crown is in place, there should be no pain or sensitivity. Some feel sensitivity to hot and cold.

Potential Side Effects/Risks: If the permanent crown is placed too high on the tooth, there can be discomfort and pain when biting and chewing. Some experience sensitivity to hot and cold.
