Dental crowns can be made from a variety of materials depending on the location of the tooth and patient preference. Porcelain, porcelain fused-to-metal, gold, and metal alloys are all options. With proper care and maintenance, a dental crown can last for many years. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Do I Need a Dental Crown?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You need a dental crown if there is not enough healthy structure to place a filling, inlay, or onlay. A crown can also repair teeth after serious injury. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the most common situations requiring a dental crown include\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Holding together a broken tooth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Restoring strength to a weak or worn tooth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Repairing a severely decayed tooth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Completing a root canal procedure<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Restoring a single dental implant<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making significant cosmetic improvements to front teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Are Dental Crowns Placed?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need a dental crown, you can expect the procedure to take place over the course of two or three weeks. We will schedule two appointments at our office. The first one is dedicated to treatment planning and preparation of the affected tooth. Dr. Prach will reshape your tooth, making the base wider than the top, to ensure there is plenty of room for the crown to fit around it. We will then take impressions and X-rays of the tooth and those that surround it. This detailed information is sent off to our dental lab, your crown is created by an expert technician according to the specifics of your teeth. You wear a temporary crown in the time between visits. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the permanent restoration has been sent back to us, you come into our office for your second visit. Dr. Prach removes the temporary and checks to make sure the new one fits, feels, and functions just like it should before bonding it securely on top of the tooth. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caring for a Dental Crown<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After we have placed your crown, you can enjoy renewed strength and stability for decades to come with <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.colgate.com\/en\/us\/oc\/oral-health\/life-stages\/adult-oral-care\/article\/what-is-good-oral-hygiene\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">proper oral hygiene<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Brush your teeth for two minutes, twice a day, and floss daily. Concentrate on the area at the base of the crown to prevent the bacteria buildup that causes gum disease. Visit your dentist every six months so we can check in on the strength and stability of your crown to ensure it stays strong and functioning properly. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schedule an Appointment Today! <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a severely damaged or aching tooth, a filling just won\u2019t do.
