What is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a tailored cap created to cover a damaged tooth, restoring its strength, shape, and appearance. It provides protection and durability for teeth that are cracked, decayed, or compromised by large fillings. With proper care, dental crowns last for years and are available in materials like metal, ceramic, and porcelain to suit your needs.

Types of Dental Crowns

Metal Crowns 

Metal crowns are highly valued for their outstanding strength and durability. They are an excellent choice for molars that experience intense biting and chewing pressure. Because of their metallic finish, they are most often used on back teeth where aesthetics are less of a concern. Crafted from materials such as gold, palladium, or base metal alloys, these crowns are designed to be exceptionally long-lasting and resistant to wear. They provide dependable protection, offering maximum reinforcement for teeth that need extra support.

All-Ceramic or Porcelain Crowns 

All-ceramic or porcelain crowns are crafted entirely from ceramic materials, offering an unmatched ability to replicate the natural color of teeth. These crowns are a perfect choice for front teeth, where aesthetics are particularly important. Their biocompatibility makes them ideal for individuals with sensitivities or allergies to metal. Combining elegance with practicality, all-ceramic crowns deliver a flawless, natural-looking smile while ensuring optimal functionality.

All-Resin Crowns 

All-resin crowns are a cost-effective choice for dental restorations, offering an affordable alternative to other types of crowns. While they are less expensive, they tend to be less durable and more susceptible to wear over time. These crowns are often used as temporary restorations or for front teeth that experience lighter chewing pressure. Although they may not be as long-lasting as ceramic or metal crowns, all-resin crowns can still deliver a satisfactory aesthetic outcome at a lower cost.

Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns 

Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns combine durability with a natural-looking finish. Designed with a robust metal base covered by a porcelain exterior, these crowns offer the strength needed for long-lasting protection while maintaining an appearance similar to natural teeth. Suitable for both your front and back teeth, PFM crowns provide an excellent balance of functionality and aesthetics.

Pressed Ceramic Crowns 

Pressed ceramic crowns are crafted from solid ceramic material, offering a durable and natural-looking solution for dental restorations. Known for their exceptional ability to mimic the appearance of real teeth, these crowns provide both strength and resistance to wear. They are particularly popular among patients who value aesthetics, making them an ideal option for restoring teeth visible at the front of the mouth.  

Same-Day Dental Crowns 

Thanks to advanced CEREC technology, same-day crowns allow you to achieve a fully restored tooth in just one appointment. These crowns are precision-crafted from a single block of ceramic using a state-of-the-art milling machine. Combining durability with a natural appearance, same-day dental crowns provide a fast, efficient, and high-quality solution for repairing damaged or weakened teeth without needing multiple visits. 

Benefits of Dental Crowns

  • Restores Tooth Functionality: Dental crowns restore the ability to chew and speak properly by reinforcing damaged or weakened teeth.  
  • Improves Aesthetics: They enhance the appearance of teeth by covering imperfections such as discoloration, cracks, or irregular shapes, creating a natural and attractive smile.  
  • Provides Long-Lasting Durability: Made from durable materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal, crowns are designed to withstand daily wear and tear, often lasting for many years with proper care.  
  • Protects Damaged Teeth: Crowns act as a protective barrier, preventing further decay or damage to compromised teeth.  
  • Custom-Fitted for Comfort: Each crown is tailored to fit perfectly, ensuring a comfortable and secure solution that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Who is a Candidate for Dental Crowns?

You might be a good candidate if you meet any of the following conditions:  

  • Damaged or Weakened Teeth: If you have teeth that are cracked, chipped, or weakened due to decay or large fillings, crowns can provide the necessary reinforcement.  
  • Root Canal Therapy: Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment often need a crown to protect and strengthen the remaining structure.  
  • Severe Tooth Decay: When a cavity is too large for a filling, a crown can restore the tooth’s functionality and appearance.  
  • Broken or Worn Teeth: Teeth that are severely worn down from grinding (bruxism) or damaged from trauma can benefit from the added protection of a crown.  
  • Cosmetic Concerns: If you have misshapen, discolored, or uneven teeth, crowns can help improve the aesthetics of your smile.  

The Dental Crown Procedure

At Dental Arts of Florida, we are committed to ensuring a smooth and comfortable dental crown experience for our patients in Jacksonville, FL. 

Here’s an overview of what to expect during the process: 

Consultation 

At your first appointment, our dentist will thoroughly evaluate your oral health, address any concerns, and take X-rays if needed to determine the extent of any damage. We will then explain the benefits and various dental crown options, ensuring all your questions are answered.  

Tooth Preparation 

Once a treatment plan is established, your dentist will numb the area to ensure your comfort. The affected tooth will be carefully reshaped by removing a small amount of enamel, creating the proper space for the crown. Any decay present will also be addressed during this step.  

Impression and Temporary Crown  

An impression will be taken of the treated tooth and surrounding teeth to ensure a precise fit for your new crown. While your permanent crown is being created in a dental lab, a temporary crown will be placed to protect the tooth.  

Crown Placement 

At your follow-up visit, your temporary crown will be removed, and the dentist will check the fit, shade, and appearance of the permanent crown. After any necessary adjustments, the crown will be securely cemented in place, fully restoring the function and look of your tooth.
