When is Dental Crown Needed?

There can be various instances when a dentist may prescribe you to go for a dental crown. Some of the situations that call for a dental crown are:

• Root Canal

It is important to get a crown placed after an RCT as this treatment leaves the tooth hollowed after its cleaning and removal of the dead and infected tissue. The restoration of a crown immediately would help in keeping the tooth intact and free from further infections.

• Cracked Tooth

It is a condition in which a tooth doesn’t completely get rooted out but has a crack. It is a very painful situation to find yourself in and the fracture lines can even result in a split. Getting a crown place on such a tooth ensures an even distribution of stress while chewing and helps in keeping it intact and in its place. A dental crown in this situation also helps in reducing the pain that a person has to go through while chewing or eating.

• Broken Cusps

Breakage of cusps can make things worse as they play a significant role in the process of chewing. Cusps can be broken as a result of any trauma or the existing fillings which are large. It becomes very essential to get them restored with the help of a crown treatment.

• Wear and Tear

Grinding of teeth or bruxism can cause a lot of wear and tear of teeth and make them shorter as well as weaker. To avoid this erosion from progressing any further and in order to get the strength of the teeth back it becomes necessary to get immediate dental attention and get the crown treatment done.

• Implants and Bridges

The placement of the crown over the dental implants can help in reinstating the spaces which were left as a result of removal of a tooth or a missing tooth. Dental Bridges also used to fill the gaps when they are used along with a crown via an artificial tooth placed in the middle.

What is the procedure?

At Dental Home, this process is carried out with the help of computerized manufacturing of crown by the CAM-CAD techniques. The process of placing a dental crown over a tooth involves the following steps:

• The preparation of the tooth is the first step and after it is done a molded impressions of the teeth along with it is sent to the dental laboratory.
• A crown is created which is supposed to protect the tooth during the process of restoration.
• The final step involves the cementing of the crown with the help of dental cement in order to ensure that it stays intact and in place.

Precautions after getting a dental crown

• Brush regularly and gently
• Avoid chewy food
• Use mouthguard if suffering from bruxism

A crown is like a cap which encircles and fits over the tooth. Crown is a bonded to the tooth using a dental cement. The main purpose of the crown is to strengthen a tooth after root canal treatment or to enhance its appearance.

When is a dental crown needed?

There are a variety of situations that require a tooth to be restored with a dental crown. The most common situations are:-

• Root canal: Root canal treatment is used to repair and save a badly decayed or infected tooth. It leaves the tooth hollowed out and predisposes the remaining tooth to crack, so a tooth needs to be restored with a crown immediately.
• Cracked tooth syndrome: This is a condition where a tooth has incompletely cracked but no part of the tooth has yet broken off. It causes much pain during chewing. Chewing causes stress on the fracture lines and resulting in a split. A crown is required here to hold the tooth and re-distribute the stress evenly throughout the tooth eliminating pain.
• Broken cusps: Cusps have a major part in chewing and frequently break off the teeth due to severe trauma or large existing fillings. Thus, they need to be restored with crown treatment.
• Excessive wear of teeth: Grinding of teeth results in shortening of the teeth over time. The teeth wear away due to acidic erosion progressively. The only way to increase the length of teeth is through the usage of crowns.
• The undesirable appearance of teeth: Good teeth makes one look smart. Bad teeth are ones that have an unacceptable appearance due to color, shape, or spaces between teeth which can be avoided by natural looking crowns.
• Implants and bridges: Crowns are positioned on dental implants to reinstate spaces left from missing teeth. Dental bridges are also one of the ways to fill the gaps with the help of the crown on the adjacent teeth attached via artificial tooth in the middle.
