What are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown, commonly referred to as a “cap,” is the proper protection after a tooth decay, infection, or injury tooth-shaped has damaged the natural tooth structure. They are often recommended when a tooth is too damaged for a filling but not damaged enough for an extraction. Dental crowns are made from several different materials such as porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of materials to restore the shape, size, and strength of the tooth it is replacing.

5 Signs a Dental Crown is Necessary

  • Large fillings: If a filling is too large, it can weaken the tooth and increase the risk of cracking.
  • Tooth decay: Severe tooth decay can weaken the enamel, making it more susceptible to fractures.
  • Cracked or fractured teeth: When bacteria get into the cracked tooth, it can cause an infection. If untreated, it can spread to other parts of the body.
  • Root canal treatment: If a tooth had a root canal treatment, it may need a crown to protect the weakened tooth from breaking.
  • Cosmetic reasons: Crowns can enhance the appearance of a discolored or misshapen tooth.

Dental Crowns FAQs

  • What is the process for getting a dental crown?

In most cases, dental crown procedure takes two visits. During the first visit, the dentist shapes the damaged tooth to better support the crown and creates an impression. At the second visit, the crown is fitted onto the prepared tooth. However, at Tierrasanta Dental Group, we also offer same-day crowns for a beautiful, permanent solution that saves your time as well as your tooth.

  • How long do dental crowns last?

With proper care and maintenance, dental crowns can last from 5 to 15 years. The lifespan of a crown depends on factors such as the material used, the location of the tooth, and oral hygiene habits.

  • Are dental crowns painful?

Generally, dental crown procedures are not painful, but involve some discomfort. Our team of dental professionals highly value your experience and ensure minimal discomfort.
