Tooth crowns are one of the most common restorative treatments used to repair and protect damaged teeth. Whether you’ve suffered a cracked tooth, severe decay, or undergone a root canal, a crown may be the ideal solution. At Rose Medical Clinic, we specialize in restoring your smile with precision and care.
What Is a Tooth Crown?
A tooth crown is a custom-made cap that covers a tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. It’s placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to protect it and improve its function. Crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, and resin.
When Do You Need a Tooth Crown?
You may need a crown if you:
- Have a tooth with a large cavity that can’t be filled
- Have a broken, cracked, or severely worn-down tooth
- Just had a root canal treatment
- Want to improve the appearance of a discolored or misshapen tooth
- Need to cover a dental implant
Benefits of Tooth Crowns
- Protects Weak Teeth: Shields vulnerable teeth from further damage or infection.
- Restores Function: Allows you to chew and speak normally without discomfort.
- Improves Aesthetics: Matches the color and shape of your natural teeth for a seamless look.
- Durable and Long-Lasting: With proper care, crowns can last 10–15 years or more.
- Stabilizes Dental Work: Helps hold a bridge in place or cover a dental implant securely.
Types of Tooth Crowns
- Porcelain or Ceramic Crowns: Best for front teeth due to their natural appearance.
- Metal Crowns (Gold or Alloy): Extremely strong and ideal for back teeth.
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal: Offers both strength and natural color.
- Resin Crowns: A more affordable option but less durable than other types.
Caring for Your Crown
Maintain your crown just like your natural teeth:
- Brush and floss daily
- Avoid hard or sticky foods
- Visit your dentist for regular checkups
