What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are an option to repair broken, weak, or decayed teeth. They are a dental cap or cover in the shape of a tooth. The dental crown fits over the existing tooth snugly. 

Sometimes, your dentist may remove small areas of tooth enamel to ensure the crown attaches correctly.

Dental crowns can be made of various materials, we specialize in custom crowns, including zirconia, e.max, porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM), and gold crowns, to suit every patient’s unique needs. This variety ensures the best choice for strength, durability, and aesthetics depending on your dental situation.

Who Needs a Dental Crown?

Dental crowns have many purposes and functions. You may benefit from a dental crown if:

  • Your weakened tooth needs to be strengthened.
  • You have a cracked tooth that needs protection.
  • Your tooth is broken or worn down.
  • You have a stained or discolored tooth.
  • You have a root canal-treated tooth.
  • You are receiving a dental implant.

Basically, if you have a damaged tooth or a dental implant, a dental crown will restore the tooth and provide a beautiful smile. With dental crowns, you can chew, eat, and speak normally and smile with confidence. 

At Middle Tennessee Prosthodontics, our doctors are highly skilled in placing dental crowns and are committed to providing exceptional care, taking the time to explain each step of the process and ensuring your comfort throughout your treatment.

The Benefits of Dental Crowns 

Restoring your teeth with dental crowns has many advantages for patients. Dental crowns can:

  • Improve chewing ability
  • Last up to 15 years or more
  • Protect your teeth from wear and tear
  • Enhance the aesthetics of your smile

To receive a dental crown, you’ll come to the office for scans and impressions of your tooth. Then, you’ll receive a temporary crown while your customized, permanent crown is created. The new crown is attached at a second appointment.
