What are crowns?

A crown is a restoration that covers or ‘caps’ a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size. Crowns are necessary when fillings won’t solve the problem. If a tooth is cracked, a crown holds the tooth together to seal the cracks so the damage doesn’t get worse. Crowns are also used to:

• Support a large filling
• Attach a bridge
• Protect weak teeth from fracturing (especially root canal treated teeth)
• Restore fractured teeth
• Cover badly shaped or discoloured teeth

How is a crown placed?

A tooth is first reduced so the crown can fit over it. An impression of teeth and gums is made and sent to the lab. A temporary crown is fitted over the tooth until the permanent crown is made. On the next visit, the dentist removes the temporary crown and cements the permanent crown over the tooth.

Will it look natural?

Yes. That is why dentists take an impression. To achieve a certain look, a number of factors are considered, such as the colour, bite, shape, and length of your natural teeth.

How should I take care of my crowns?

Besides visiting your dentist and brushing twice a day, cleaning between your teeth is vital with crowns. Floss or interdental cleaners (specially shaped brushes and sticks) are important tools to remove plaque from the crown area where the gum meets the tooth.
