Tooth Crown Explained
A dental crown is a protective shell covering the entire tooth, safeguarding it from further damage. Crafted from materials like porcelain, ceramic, or gold, the crown is custom designed to seamlessly blend with natural teeth in size, shape, and colour. Typically, dental crowns come into play to restore teeth affected by decay, injury, or regular wear and tear, offering a practical and aesthetic solution.
Fixing a dental crown is a meticulous two-step process designed to ensure a seamless restoration of your tooth. In the first step, your tooth undergoes careful preparation, precisely reducing in size to create space for the dental crown.
Following this, the custom-designed crown is expertly placed on the prepared tooth and securely adhered using dental cement or adhesive.
The outcome? A beautifully restored tooth that not only regains its full functionality but also contributes to enhancing your smile. The dental crown effectively conceals imperfections such as chips, cracks, or discolouration, leaving you with a natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing result.
Dental Crowns Are Used to Address Various Dental Conditions
A dental crown can be used to:
- Protect a weak tooth from breaking or holding together parts of a cracked tooth
- Cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn’t enough tooth remaining
- Hold a dental bridge in place
- Cover misshapen or severely discoloured teeth
- Cover a dental implant
A dental crown is made from different materials, such as
- Porcelain (Porcelain fused to metal)
- Ceramic
- Gold alloy
- Base metal alloys
At Hills Dental Boutique, our dentist will recommend the best material for your dental crown based on the location of your tooth, bite, and cosmetic goals. Our clinic’s dental crowns are fixed in place in just one or two visits. On the first visit, our dentist will take x-rays and impressions (moulds) of your tooth along with the teeth in its surroundings. This mould helps us create a customised dental crown that fits well on your tooth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Would I Need A Dental Crown?
A dental crown might be recommended for various reasons, primarily aimed at restoring the health and appearance of a tooth. If your tooth is significantly decayed, damaged, or weakened, a crown can provide structural support and protect it from further harm. Crowns are also used to cover and strengthen teeth after a root canal treatment. Additionally, a crown can enhance your appearance if you have a discoloured or misshapen tooth. Furthermore, crowns are crucial in supporting dental bridges or covering dental implants. The overall goal is to improve your teeth’ function, aesthetics, and longevity, ensuring a healthy and confident smile.
What Is The Process For Getting A Dental Crown?
To begin getting a dental crown, your dentist will assess your tooth during the initial visit to determine if a crown is the most suitable treatment. If so, they’ll take an impression of your tooth, which is the basis for creating your custom-made crown. While the permanent crown is being crafted, your dentist will fix a temporary crown to protect your tooth.
On your next visit, the new crown will replace the temporary crown. Once satisfied, your dentist uses dental cement to attach the permanent crown to your tooth securely. The final steps involve polishing the crown and adjusting it for optimal comfort. With diligent care, your new dental crown can provide lasting benefits for many years.
How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?
The lifespan of your crown depends on its materials and your aftercare. Typically, porcelain crowns tend to last longer than their metal counterparts. Steering clear of habits like chewing ice or biting nails can prolong your dental crown’s life.
If you have any concerns or questions regarding your dental crown, please bring them up during your visit. Our team will analyse the condition of your crown and guide the best practices to ensure it stays in optimal condition.
What Are Dental Crowns Made Of?
Dental crowns are available in various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, and metal. Porcelain crowns, known for being stain-resistant, can be closely matched to the colour of your natural teeth. Ceramic crowns offer a similar colour-matching benefit but may be less durable than porcelain, as they are prone to chipping or breaking. Metal crowns, while the strongest, are more visible. Opting for a metal crown coated with porcelain or ceramic can enhance its appearance while maintaining strength. Your dentist can help determine the best material based on your specific situation and preferences.
Are Dental Crowns Painful?
Dental crowns are used to restore a tooth’s function and appearance. The procedure is typically not painful, though you may experience some discomfort while the dentist prepares your tooth for the crown. Once the crown is in place, any discomfort should quickly dissipate.
