What is a Dental Crown?A dental crown, also known as a tooth cap, is a prosthetic that covers a damaged or compromised tooth. Fits over the entire visible part of the tooth, this restoration gives strength, protection and beauty. Dental crowns come in different materials, porcelain, metal alloys, or a combination of both depending on the patient’s needs and preference. The process of obtaining a dental crown usually involves two main steps. First, our crown dentist will prepare the affected tooth by removing any decayed or damaged part. Impressions of the tooth are then taken to make a precise and customized crown. These impressions are sent to a dental laboratory where the custom crowns are made and then cemented in place during subsequent dental visits. During this time a temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth. Once the permanent crown is ready it’s cemented onto the tooth and restores its shape, function and appearance. Same Day Dental CrownsSame-day crowns, as the name implies are made and placed in one day. These crowns are made of ceramic. Compared to other dental restorations like fillings which are used to fix tooth damage and decay, same day crowns are quicker but not as durable.
