Getting A Dental Crown Procedure

• A dental crown procedure is a process of covering
  a tooth which is completely worn out. A dental
  crown procedure can also be done on a cracked
  tooth or a weak tooth.
• Sometimes the dental crown procedure is done on
  someone who had a root canal procedure or a tooth
  filling procedure. The crown helps to cover the
  components used during the root canal and filling
  procedures.

• Dental crowns are made of different materials.
  These are
• Ceramic
• Porcelain
• Combination of Porcelain and metal
• Metal
• Zirconia
• Composite resin
• A combination of other materials can also be used
  to make a crown.

5

• Before a dental crown procedure is carried out,
  your dentist considers the material to use based
  on the following factors
• Position of the tooth
• The function of the tooth to be crowned
• Number of teeth you have
• The gum tissue
• If the tooth is easily seen when you smile

6
What Happens During the Dental Crown Procedure?

• When you go for a dental crown procedure, your
  dentist will put a temporary crown on your tooth
  using an adhesive. The temporary crown is meant
  to last for a short time, and it isn't as strong
  as a permanent crown.
• Your dentist can recommend a partial crown if
  your tooth is not badly damaged. The partial
  crown usually covers three-quarter of the tooth.
• There are two types of dental crown procedures,
  multi-day procedure and a one-day procedure.
  Let's discuss the one-day procedure first.

7
One day Procedure

• During this procedure, a temporary crown will not
  be of use. The procedure usually takes 2-4 hours,
  and you go home with a permanent crown.
• In this procedure
• Your dentist takes photos of the tooth and then
  scans them to get the image of the tooth.
• He/she then uses the photos to create a crown.
  This process can take 2 hours maximum.
• After he completes creating the crown, your
  dentist will put the crown on the tooth.

8

• Having a same-day dental crown procedure is
  fascinating. Sadly not all dentists can do it
  because of lack of the necessary resources. If
  you want to get the procedure done in one day,
  discuss with your dentist to see if he has the
  technology required.

9
Multi-Day Procedure

• The multi-day procedure is a very common crowning
  procedure. This is what happens during this
  procedure
• Your dentist will prepare the tooth to be crowned
  and examine it. A mold of your mouth will be
  taken together with an X-ray if necessary.
• The dentist will trim the enamel and file the
  tooth down.
• Your dentist will make an impression of the tooth
  and the neighbouring teeth.

10

• The dentist will place a temporary dental crown
  on the tooth. This is done to protect it from
  further damage before the permanent crown is put.
• The impression made from the tooth is sent to the
  laboratory. The impression is used to make the
  permanent crown.
• The dentist will notify you when to go back for
  the permanent crown so that he/she can cement it
  down permanently.

11
Reasons for Having a Dental Crown Procedure

• There are reasons why you should have a dental
  crown procedure done on your tooth. Some
  situations will push you to get one or two. These
  reasons are
• If you have a tooth you feel is weak because of
  decay and its breaking down, then its time to
  get the tooth examined and have it crowned.
• Restoration of a severely wasted tooth or a
  broken tooth
• Helps in holding a dental bridge
• To cover a badly discoloured tooth.
• A dental crown is used to hide dental implants.
• A dental crown can be used for cosmetic
  modification.

12
Can a Dental Crown Procedure be done on Children?

• A dental crown procedure is done on baby teeth if
  the tooth is extremely decayed. If the baby tooth
  cannot hold a filling, then a dental crown is
  placed to prevent further decay.

13
What Is the Cost of a Dental Crown Procedure?

• The cost of the dental crown procedure depends on
  the type of material used and the size of the
  tooth. A porcelain crown is quite expensive
  compare to the gold crown. The price of dental
  porcelain crown ranges from 1000-2250 per tooth
  and 850- 2000 per tooth for a dental gold
  crown.
• Having a dental crown is good for your damaged
  teeth to prevent further damage. Dental crowns
  can take up to 20 years. Take care of your crowns
  by ensuring your oral hygiene is done properly
  and regularly.
