Dental crowns, also known as caps, are a simple way to improve your smile and confidence. Caps are a great alternative when fillings simply won't do the trick. At Calm Spring Dental, we provide a wide range of services involving dental caps. However, we feel it's important to know exactly what you're getting into before you have one made.
Caps are fitted over damaged crowns. The crown of the tooth is the top section that sticks out above the gumline. This is what gives dental caps their name. They can be shaped, trimmed and polished to match the rest of your teeth in order to repair broken teeth and improve your smile. Caps can be made of many different materials including:
When deciding on a material with which to make a crown, we will consider several factors such as the location and condition of the affected tooth, what will show when smiling, the function of the tooth (whether it's a molar, premolar or incisor) and how close the damage is to the surrounding gum tissue.
There are many reasons why dental crowns may be needed. Among these reasons are:
The process begins by filing down a small section of the tooth's outer area so that the cap can fit over it. We then make impressions of the affected tooth and the surrounding teeth. To protect the tooth while the crown is being made, which can take several weeks depending on the material and the process used to create the cap, a temporary crown will be fitted over the tooth. The impression is then sent to the lab, where the crown is made. Once payment is received, the lab ships the crown to our office.
