Dental Crowns: Filling In The Details You Want!

Posted on September 10th, 2018

You know just by looking around that a dental crown is something that offers substantial protection to a damaged tooth. However, if you’re gaining all of your knowledge about crowns just from observing the world around you, then you might assume all crowns are obvious looking and made of metal! The truth is, thanks to exceptional advances in dental technology and materials, today’s crowns are actually nearly impossible to detect (though they are exceptionally strong and resilient). What to make of crowns, you wonder? Our Saxonburg, PA team can fill you in on the most essential of details!

What’s A Crown?

You may know a dental crown offers more intensive care and improvement than a filling but you don’t know what it is exactly. Good news: It’s easy to understand. It’s often called a crown or a “cap” because of its shape. The crown is a prosthetic tooth that is carefully crafted as a hollow-bodied product that covers your current natural tooth. It is bonded to the tissue you have remaining, thereby giving you back the esthetics of your tooth, the structure, and the function, all while giving your remaining tissue serious protection against additional damage.

What’s A Crown Really Look Like?

First, remember that we will take impressions of your smile in order to create a dental crown that is the correct shape to blend with the teeth near it and the tooth on the opposite arch for an excellent fit that promotes a balanced bite. We provide crowns made out of material like porcelain, which is completely customizable. In addition to crafting the correct shape, we also match the shade of the material we use for a covered tooth that blends beautifully. What it will look like is a healthy tooth that’s all your own.

Do I Need A Crown?

If your tooth is damaged too seriously for a filling, then you may need a dental crown. If your tooth is too esthetically damaged for veneers or other cosmetic care, then a crown may be suitable. How to know for sure? By seeing our dental team for a dental visit of course!
