Crowns

Crowning Your Smile: Dental Excellence​

Dental crowns are a versatile dental restoration option that can help restore the strength, function, and aesthetics of a damaged tooth. They are commonly used to repair severely decayed, cracked, or weakened teeth, as well as to improve the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth. With advancements in dental materials and techniques, crowns are now more natural-looking and durable than ever before..

What are Crowns?

A dental crown, also known as a tooth cap or dental cap, is a custom-made prosthetic restoration that covers the entire visible portion of a tooth above the gumline. It is designed to mimic the shape, size, and color of a natural tooth, providing a protective and aesthetically pleasing solution.

How Does it Work?

The dental crown procedure typically involves tooth preparation, impression-taking, and crown placement. First, Dr. Mirani prepares the tooth by removing a small amount of its structure. Then, impressions are taken to create a custom-made crown that matches your tooth’s shape and color. While your permanent crown is being made, a temporary crown is placed. Finally, the permanent crown is bonded to the tooth using dental cement, ensuring a secure fit and restoring the tooth’s function and aesthetics.

BENEFITS OF Crowns

Dental crowns offer several benefits, including:

Tooth Protection

Crowns provide a protective layer that shields the underlying tooth from further damage, such as decay or fractures. They can strengthen and reinforce weakened or compromised teeth, extending their lifespan.

Restored Functionality

Crowns restore the functionality of damaged teeth, allowing you to bite, chew, and speak properly. They provide stability and strength to teeth that have undergone extensive dental work or have suffered significant structural damage.

Improved Aesthetics

Dental crowns are custom-made to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth. They can effectively enhance the appearance of teeth that are discolored, misshapen, or have noticeable fillings, resulting in a more attractive smile.

Longevity

With proper oral care and regular dental check-ups, dental crowns can last for many years. They are highly durable and resistant to wear and tear, making them a long-lasting solution for tooth restoration.

Comfort and Function

Crowns are designed to fit seamlessly with your natural bite and jaw movement. Once properly placed, they offer a comfortable and functional solution, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and activities without discomfort or restrictions.

Versatility

Dental crowns can be used to address various dental concerns, including extensive tooth decay, fractures, large fillings, misaligned or uneven teeth, and cosmetic imperfections. They provide a versatile treatment option for restoring and enhancing the appearance of your smile.

Natural Look and Feel

Modern dental materials used for crowns closely resemble the appearance and texture of natural teeth. This means that once the crown is placed, it blends seamlessly with your existing teeth, creating a natural-looking result.

Boosted Confidence

By improving the aesthetics of your smile and restoring damaged teeth, dental crowns can boost your self-confidence. You can feel more comfortable and confident in social and professional interactions, knowing that your smile looks healthy and attractive.

It’s important to consult with Dr. Mirani to determine if dental crowns are the right solution for your specific dental needs. They can assess your oral health, discuss treatment options, and guide you through the process to achieve optimal results.

Frequently asked questions

With proper care and maintenance, dental crowns can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years, or even longer. Regular dental check-ups, good oral hygiene practices, and avoiding habits such as teeth grinding or biting on hard objects can help prolong the lifespan of your crowns.

The dental crown procedure itself is typically painless as it is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring your comfort during the process. However, some patients may experience mild sensitivity or discomfort after the anesthesia wears off. This is temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

Caring for dental crowns is similar to caring for natural teeth. It is important to brush your teeth at least twice a day, floss daily, and rinse with an antibacterial mouthwash. Avoid biting on hard objects or using your teeth to open packages. Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings are also crucial for maintaining the health and longevity of your dental crowns.

Dental crowns are resistant to teeth whitening procedures. The color of the crown is determined during the fabrication process, so it is not possible to change the color once it is in place. If you are considering teeth whitening, it is recommended to whiten your natural teeth before getting dental crowns to ensure a consistent shade.

Depending on your specific dental needs, there may be alternative treatments to dental crowns. In some cases, dental veneers or dental bonding may be suitable options for improving the appearance of teeth. It is best to consult with Dr. Mirani to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your individual circumstances.

While it is rare for dental crowns to fall off, it can happen in some cases. Poor oral hygiene, tooth decay, trauma, or a poorly fitted crown can increase the risk of crown dislodgement. If your crown feels loose or falls off, contact your dentist immediately for evaluation and possible reattachment.
