A dental crown is a specially designed to completely cover a section of a tooth that is above the gum line and is placed over an original tooth that has either deteriorated, been broken, or cracked. Crowns may be composed of a number of materials, including acrylic resin, gold, porcelain, or a combination of these. Although it is sometimes less durable, porcelain typically has the most natural look. According to reports, zirconia ceramic has the best mechanical qualities and is used to make most crowns today. For excellent aesthetic results, zirconia bases may be combined with an exterior layer of porcelain.

A dental examination and cleaning are part of the first appointment at Bramdale Dental. After that, a local anesthetic will be administered by our Brampton dental office. Damaged or decaying teeth are pulled and treated. A little amount of tooth enamel is removed to make room for the dental crown and strengthen the bond between it and the tooth. A mold for your customized dental crown is then created. Your Brampton dentist will provide you with a temporary crown in the meantime. When the dental lab delivers your permanent crown to your Brampton dentist, you will need to make a follow-up appointment to have it bonded on using dental cement. The crown of a dental implant is placed after the healing of the surgical site.

To maintain healthy, bacteria-free teeth, gums, and crowns after the treatment, good dental hygiene is necessary, including regular brushing and flossing. Your crowns may last a lifetime if you take good care of them.
