Dental Crowning: Everything you need to know

As the name suggests, a crown is a cap for a damaged tooth. Dental crowning refers to crowning or putting a cap on a damaged tooth. The cap is made from a variety of materials, this includes porcelain or metal. A crown is usually thin and non visible when put on a molar. If it is placed on a front teeth then it is usually visible

The choice of selecting a crown/cap is usually suggested by the Dentists. However, while choosing the cap, there are a few factors you would want to consider:

  • Strength of the cap
  • Durability - till it last long
  • Cost - easy on pocket
  • Natural Appearance - Shouldn’t feel uncomfortable and distract from natural appearance

You can put your priorities in front of the dentist. However, we believe the best decision is always taken by an expert.

Types of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are made up of different kinds of material. These are:

  • Ceramic
  • Zirconia
  • Porcelain
  • Composite Resin
  • Metal
  • A mix of multiple material - for example: a porcelain crown fused to metal

You can refer your dentist for the best choice in the material that suits you. If you are searching for one, Redheal helps to connect you with the best dentist in town. You can easily book an online appointment and consult the relevant doctor.

While selecting a crown, our expert Dentists consider the following factors:

  • Location of the tooth
  • Position of the gum tissue
  • Visibility of the tooth when you smile
  • How much of the natural tooth is remaining
  • Colour of the teeth surrounding

Temporary Crown: Temporary crown is a crown implemented for a short period. The crown is planted only with an adhesive so it can be easily removed. This is placed as a temporary solution to the permanent crown. After a week or two, the permanent crown is placed.

One-day crown: The instant crowns are designed on the spot with CAD technology and installed in an hour or two. These are mostly of ceramic.

One day or 3/4th Crown: Some individuals do not need the full tooth covered and only a portion of it. Hence, the best suggested by the Dentists are 3/4th crown.

Who needs a Dental Crown

Dental crown is usually implemented to people with large cavities. You would consider getting a crown if your tooth is:

  • Cracked
  • Worn down
  • Weakened

Dental crowns are usually followed by a root canal as it is fragile and needs more layers of protection.

How to take care of a Dental Crown

Once the crown is implemented, it is important to take care of it throughout. Here are a few tips to take care of a crowned tooth:

  • Floss daily
  • Be careful while brushing. Brush twice a day and use a toothpaste sensitive for teeth.
  • Avoid hard foods or chew it from the other side. Hard chewing food can damage a porcelain crown.
  • Consider using a tooth guard if you clench your teeth at night or grind it a lot.

Associated allergies to dental crown

A crown, while is to heal your tooth and make you more comfortable, also comes with a few side-effects. However, these side-effects are subjective and may not necessarily persist in everyone.

  • Teeth Sensitivity

A crowned tooth could be more prone to heat and cold. If you feel too much sensitivity, it could be a misfit somewhere. Talk to your Dentist immediately.

  • Chipped Crown

Almost all the crowns are vulnerable to chipping. A few chipping is treated in the beginning while installing. Some of the chipping, like that of a porcelain, shows its effects over time.

  • Knocked out Crown

If there isn’t enough glue holding it back, the crown may fall off. If you feel the crown is wiggly or loose, immediately call your dentist.

  • Allergic reactions

Allergic reactions with dental crowning are rare. However, if it is there at all, it is because of the allergy from metal.

  • Gum disease

A gum disease can be spotted by the crown getting sore or irritated or bleeding.
