What is dental crown (crowned tooth)? In which conditions are they used? Dental crowns are caps placed on top of damaged teeth. Crowns are used to protect, cover and restore the shape of your teeth when fillings don’t solve the problem. Dental crowns can be made out of metals, porcelain, resin and ceramics. They typically don’t require special care over time other than regular good oral hygiene. They are used as part of dental aesthetics applications.

Over time, teeth can be damaged or destroyed by decay. Various methods can be applied to eliminate these damages. One of these methods is dental crowns. It is glued on the tooth and ensures that the tooth is strengthened and has an aesthetic appearance. It is a treatment method that takes several sessions. The dental crown treatment takes an average of 5-8 days.

What are the Types of Dental Crowns?

• Metal-Supported Porcelain Crown: It has been used in dentistry for many years. The inner parts are made of metal and the outer parts are made of porcelain. It is a durable dental aesthetics treatment method.
• Full Ceramic Crown without Metal Support: Full ceramic crown, also known as empress, is a very aesthetic type of crown. It is preferred for the front teeth due to its natural appearance. It is a frequently preferred type of dental crown.
• Zirconium Supported Porcelain Veneer Crown: It is the most preferred type of dental crown because it is more aesthetic than other types of dental crowns and it is light permeable. It is also preferred for smile design.
• Laminate Veneer: It is generally preferred to provide an aesthetic appearance and to obtain whiter teeth. It is mostly applied to the front teeth.

How is the Dental Crown applied?

Firstly, the dentist performs an intraoral examination. If there is any decay or residue on the teeth, they are treated and cleaned. After the first examination, the teeth are cut and made ready for bonding the crowns. Dental impressions of the cut teeth are taken and provisional crowns are made in the meantime. The teeth prepared in the laboratory and in the tooth tone of the person’s own preference are rehearsed at the last examination and the bite of the teeth is checked. With the approval of the person, the crowns are permanently bonded. Thus, tooth is crowned.

When can You Eat and Drink after Dental Crown Treatment?

Food and drinks that are not excessively hot or cold can be consumed approximately 2 hours after the dental crown treatment. The patient can return to work/social life after 1 day.

What is Dental Crown? Post-Treatment Process

Oral hygiene should be paid attention after dental crown treatment. Teeth should be brushed regularly and dental floss should be used where the toothbrush is not sufficient. It may take a few days for the person to get used to the teeth.
