How Do Crowns Work?

A crown is a covering that sits over the top of the tooth, creating a hard surface to protect, cover, seal, and strengthen it. They’re made from a very strong porcelain material that is able to withstand the day to day forces that occur from tooth to tooth contact and other chewing accidents that may occur.

They’re able to withstand potential damage to a much higher degree than regular fillings can.

How Do Crowns Work?

The Benefits of
Dental Crowns

The following are various situations where a crown may be the solution include:

Teeth with large, broken-down fillings: Larger fillings that have broken down, are substantially deteriorated or have formed decay around them can highly benefit from a crown to save the tooth

Cracked tooth: Cracked tooth: a cracked tooth can benefit from a crown holding it together. Be careful not to wait too long as an untreated cracked tooth can become sensitive and/or eventually break.

Receding gums: Teeth that are very sensitive, either from a lot of “wear” or from receded gums, require crowns to seal and protect them from hot and cold sensitivity

Root Canal Treated Tooth: A majority of the time, a tooth that has undergone a root canal treatment will need a crown to properly seal and protect it. These teeth are more brittle, as all the hydration from within the tooth has been taken away. In this case, the crown offers the right amount of protection that the tooth needs
