What are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are a versatile restorative treatment designed to encase a damaged tooth or dental implant fully. By covering the visible part of a tooth, a crown restores its shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are an ideal choice when a large cavity threatens the tooth's structural integrity or after procedures like root canal therapy.
The process begins with Dr. Burgess preparing the tooth and taking a detailed dental impression. This impression is used to fabricate the crown outside the mouth, allowing for the use of durable materials like porcelain. Once the crown is ready, it is bonded to the tooth with dental cement. The indirect fabrication method supports precision, durability, and the ability to use materials requiring specialised techniques, such as firing porcelain under intense heat.
Though dental crowns are not permanent, their average lifespan is around 10 years with proper care. Dr. Burgess ensures that both temporary and permanent crowns are fitted with precision, with smooth edges that sit flush with the gum line. This careful placement helps prevent gum swelling and infection, providing a comfortable and reliable solution for damaged teeth.
Benefits & Materials Used
Dental crowns offer a range of benefits, making them a popular choice for restorative and cosmetic dentistry. They strengthen weakened teeth, restore functionality, and enhance the appearance of your smile. Crowns can improve your ability to chew and speak, providing a stable and natural-looking solution for damaged or decayed teeth.
Dr. Burgess takes the time to tailor every crown to your unique dental needs, delivering comfortable, long-lasting results. The materials used for crowns, such as porcelain, are chosen for their durability and aesthetic appeal. Porcelain crowns are particularly favoured because they mimic the translucence and colour of natural teeth, blending seamlessly with your smile.
While porcelain is a common choice, other materials, including metal alloys, zirconia, and composite resin, may be used depending on the specific case. Each material offers distinct advantages, and Dr. Burgess will recommend the best option based on your tooth’s location, function, and cosmetic requirements. With careful placement and durable materials, your crown will serve as a reliable restoration for years to come.
