Dental Crowns | Dorset Dental Clinic

Why have a dental crown?

Dental crowns are an ideal way to rebuild teeth that have been broken or weakened by decay or a very large filling.

A dental crown fits right over the remaining part of the tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape and contour of a natural tooth. Dental Crowns are sometimes also known as ‘caps’. An ‘anterior crown’ is a term used to describe a crown fitted to the front eight teeth. Dental crowns can also be used to improve the appearance of damaged teeth or worn teeth.

Crowns on Implants

Different types of dental crowns can be used on dental implants, namely cement-retained crowns or screw-retained crowns can be used.

FAQ_s

Why would I need a dental crown?

A natural tooth may have broken, and restoring it with a filling is not possible.
To prevent a tooth breaking (which has been weakened by a large filling).
You may have discoloured fillings and would like to improve the appearance of the tooth.
A tooth which has been root treated will need a crown to protect it.
You may have had an accident and damaged the tooth. It may help hold a bridge or denture firmly in place.

Does it hurt to have a tooth prepared for a dental crown?

No. A local anaesthetic is used, and the preparation should feel no different from a filling. If the tooth does not have a nerve, and a post-dental crown is being prepared, then local anaesthetic may not be needed.

How long will dental crowns last ?

The life of a dental crown will depend on how well it is looked after. The dental crown itself cannot decay, but decay can start where the edge of the crown joins the tooth. It is very important to keep this area as clean as your other teeth, or decay could endanger the crown. If properly cared for, crowns will last for many years – your dentist will be able to tell you how long.

Will the crown feel different ?

Because the shape of the crown will be slightly different from the shape of your tooth before it was crowned, you may be aware of it, to begin with. Within a few days, it should feel fine, and you will not notice it. The crown may need some adjustment if it feels higher than the surrounding teeth. If it is at all uncomfortable, ask your dentist to check and adjust it.
