What are Dental Crowns?
Crowns are dental restorations that cover or "cap" a damaged, decayed, or unattractive tooth. They are designed to restore the tooth to its normal shape, size, and function while also improving its appearance. Crowns can be made from various materials.
They are often recommended for teeth that are too damaged to be repaired with a filling or other simpler restoration methods.
Crowns help protect the tooth from further damage and contribute to a healthier, more attractive smile.

Types of Crowns
Crowns can be made from various materials including porcelain, ceramic, zirconia metal (such as gold or silver), and porcelain fused to metal. Each type has its own advantages in terms of aesthetics, durability, and cost.
Procedure
The process typically involves two visits to your dentist. During the first visit, the tooth is prepared by removing a portion of its structure to make room for the crown. Impressions are then taken to create the custom crown. A temporary crown is placed on the tooth while the permanent one is being made. On the second visit, the temporary crown is removed and the permanent crown is cemented in place.
Care
While crowns are designed to be durable, they still require proper care. Brush and floss your teeth regularly to keep your gums and surrounding teeth healthy. Avoid biting down on hard objects like ice or hard candy to prevent damage to the crown.
Benefits
Crowns can significantly improve the function and appearance of your teeth. They strengthen damaged teeth, restore chewing ability, and enhance the overall look of your smile.
Cost
The cost of a crown can vary depending on the material used and the amount of preparation needed. It's a good idea to check with your dentist about costs and insurance coverage.
Potential Adjustments
After the crown is placed, some patients may experience minor discomfort or sensitivity. This usually goes away after a few days. If it persists, a follow-up visit to adjust the fit of the crown may be necessary.
Feel free to ask our dentist any specific questions or concerns you may have to ensure you get the best results from your dental crown procedure.
Longevity
Zirconia dental crowns are a popular choice due to their durability and aesthetic appeal. Here are some key points about zirconia crowns
01
Material and Strength
02
Aesthetic Quality
Zirconia is a type of ceramic that is exceptionally strong and durable. Zirconia crowns are known for their high fracture toughness and resistance to wear, making them a suitable option for both front and back teeth.
03
Biocompatibility
Zirconia crowns are often preferred for their natural appearance. They can be matched to the color of the surrounding teeth, providing a pleasing aesthetic look.
04
Longevity
Zirconia is biocompatible, meaning it is less likely to cause adverse reactions or allergies. This makes it a safe option for those with metal sensitivities.
05
Minimally Invasive
With proper care, zirconia crowns can last between 10 to 15 years or even longer. Their durability often extends the lifespan compared to other types of crowns.
06
Translucency Options
Zirconia crowns can be made thinner than some other types of crowns, requiring less removal of the natural tooth structure.
Advanced techniques allow zirconia crowns to vary in translucency, which helps in mimicking the natural appearance of tooth enamel.
Care for Zirconia crowns involves regular oral hygiene practices such as brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups to ensure they remain in good condition.
Shade Guides
Dentists use shade guides, such as the Vitapan Classical Shade Guide or the Vita 3D-Master Shade Guide, to determine the best match for your natural teeth. These guides have numerous shades ranging from the whitest (often labeled as B1) to darker shades that resemble more natural teeth colors.
Factors Influencing Shade Selection
Existing Teeth Color
The goal is to have the crown blend seamlessly with the neighboring teeth.
Skin Tone
Sometimes, the shade of the crown can be matched to complement your skin tone for even more natural aesthetics.
Lighting
Different lighting conditions can affect how the shade looks. Dentists typically check the shade in natural light as well as under dental operatory lights.
Whitening Treatments
If you plan to whiten your teeth, do it before getting the crown so the shade can be matched to your new tooth color.
Common Shades
B1
One of the whitest shades, popular for those seeking a very bright smile.
A1, A2, A3
These are progressively darker shades. A2 is a common choice for many people as it offers a natural, slightly off-white look.
D2, D3
These shades have a more yellow or beige tint, often chosen to match aged or more naturally yellow teeth.
Natural Appearance
Achieving a natural look sometimes means not going for the brightest shade. The goal is a harmonious match with your surrounding teeth that doesn't stand out but rather blends in seamlessly.
Consult your dentist to discuss and select the most appropriate shade for your dental crowns to ensure you achieve the beautiful, natural-looking smile you desire.
