What are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns, often referred to as dental caps, are tailor-made prosthetics that cover the whole observable portion of a compromised or deteriorated tooth. They help strengthen and protect the tooth while improving its appearance and function.

When Do I Need a Dental Crown?

You may need a dental crown if you have the following:

Severely damaged or decayed teeth that cannot be restored with fillings or inlays
Weakened teeth at risk of fracture
A tooth that has undergone root canal treatment
A dental implant that requires a crown to complete the restoration
Cosmetic concerns such as misshapen or discoloured teeth

Types of Dental Crowns

There are four main types of dental crowns:

Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns: Offer strength and durability with a natural appearance.
All-ceramic crowns: Provide the best aesthetic results, ideal for front teeth.
Gold crowns: Highly durable and resistant to wear, suitable for back teeth.
Zirconia crowns: Combines the strength of metal with the aesthetics of porcelain, suitable for all teeth.

Dental Crown Procedure

The dental crown procedure typically involves:

Consultation and preparation: Your dentist will assess your tooth and take X-rays to determine the best course of action.
Tooth preparation: The tooth is shaped and filed down to accommodate the crown.
Impression or Scan: A mould or digital scan of the prepared tooth is taken to create a custom crown.
Temporary crown: A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while the permanent crown is being fabricated.

Crown placement: The permanent crown is cemented onto the prepared tooth.

When Do I Need a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge may be recommended if you have one or more missing teeth. A bridge consists of two or more crowns on either side of the gap (abutment teeth) with a false tooth/teeth (pontic) in between. The bridge helps restore function and aesthetics by filling in the space created by the missing teeth.
