What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are custom-made restorations that cover the visible surfaces of weak or damaged teeth. At Ateeth Dental Care, we use the highest-quality materials, including zirconia and e-max, to create aesthetic restorations that deliver seamless results. Zirconia crowns are known for their exceptional durability and aesthetics, while e-max crowns provide strength, durability, and a natural, translucent appearance. We will recommend the ideal material option based on your specific needs and cosmetic goals.
What Is the Dental Crown and Bridge Placement Process?
The dental crown and bridge procedures are similar. We start by preparing the affected tooth or teeth neighboring the gap by reshaping them to accommodate your new crown or bridge. Next, we take impressions of your teeth, which skilled technicians at our partner dental lab use to create your new restoration to the specifications of your smile. A temporary crown or bridge will protect your prepared teeth as you wait. During an upcoming appointment, we will secure your permanent crown or bridge in place, enhancing the health and function of your smile.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns and Bridges
What are dental crowns made of?
At Ateeth Dental Care, dental crowns are crafted from premium materials including zirconia (known for exceptional durability and natural appearance) and E-max porcelain (offering strength, durability, and translucent aesthetics that closely match natural teeth).
When do I need a dental crown?
You may need a dental crown if you have extensive decay too large for a filling, a cracked, broken, or weakened tooth, a tooth after root canal treatment, severe wear from grinding or clenching, a dental implant requiring a restoration, or a tooth needing cosmetic improvement.
What is the difference between a dental crown and a bridge?
A dental crown covers and protects a single damaged tooth. A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by connecting artificial teeth (pontics) to crowns placed on the adjacent natural teeth, "bridging" the gap.
How long do dental crowns and bridges last?
With proper care and regular dental visits, high-quality dental crowns and bridges can last 10-15 years or longer. Factors affecting longevity include oral hygiene habits, grinding/clenching, and the materials used.
What is the dental crown procedure like?
The dental crown process involves three main steps: (1) preparing the tooth by reshaping it to accommodate the crown, (2) taking impressions sent to a dental lab for custom fabrication, and (3) placing and securing the permanent crown. A temporary crown protects your tooth between visits.
