Uh-oh: do you have a chipped, sensitive, or broken tooth? A Dental Crown could be the solution you need. Nosehill Dental is pleased to offer this restorative dental option to restore any tooth to what it once was, and help you achieve the smile you desire!

What is a Dental Crown?

Dental crowns, or ‘caps’ as they are commonly referred to, are made of natural-looking porcelain that cover or fully ‘cap’ damaged teeth in order to help improve the appearance and overall health of your smile. Whether it is from decay, disease, an accident, wear and tear, stains, or damage, dental crowns can help restore your teeth to what they once were. Crowns blend in with your own set of teeth so no one will even know you have one! Sometimes, an underlying metal shell may be used under the porcelain if additional strength is necessary.

Dental crowns can be made from different materials, including the full porcelain crown, the porcelain-fused-to-metal crown, and the all-metal crown. The type of material your crown is made of can determine the strength, durability, and longevity. Gold crowns or crowns made of another metal alloy typically last the longest and can withstand high exertion chewing and biting. They often last well beyond 10 years. All-ceramic or all-porcelain crowns have a nice natural look and can live a long, strong life like their gold counterparts. All-resin crowns are a great, less-expensive alternative to the types of crowns noted above. With that said, they are less likely to last as long and are more prone to breaking. You and your dentist can work together to decide which type of crown may be appropriate, depending upon the strength requirements and aesthetic concerns of the tooth involved.

How do you know if you require a crown?

If you have any of the following, your dentist may suggest a crown:

• A weakened tooth structure in a previously filled tooth that can no longer support the filling
• Extensive damage caused by decay
• A chipped, sensitive, or broken tooth
• Discolouration and compromised aesthetics
• Fractures
• Previous root canal (teeth may become brittle and may need extra protection)
• Previous bridges (crowns may be required to support replacement teeth and strengthen and protect remaining tooth structure).
• Crown lengthening

A dental crown could be the solution for chipped, sensitive, or broken teeth.

Dental crowns may be necessary to replace old fillings that have broken down, as well as fractured, chipped, or sensitive teeth. Dental crowns are also used to improve the appearance of natural teeth that may be malformed, malpositioned or have become discoloured.

How long do dental crowns last?

The lifespan of dental crowns can greatly vary. On average, dental crowns can and should last at least 10 to 15 years. Gold crowns or crowns made of another metal alloy typically last the longest and can withstand high exertion chewing and biting. They often last well beyond 10 years. All-ceramic or all-porcelain crowns have a natural look and can live a long, strong life like their gold counterparts. All-resin crowns are a great, less expensive alternative to the types of crowns noted above. With that said, they are less likely to last as long and are more prone to breaking.
