The crown is the aspect of the tooth that is visible in the smile. It is the portion of the tooth that also participates in the chewing process. It is crucial to the initiation of the digestion process. The hard enamel of the crown is used to break up food and prepare it for the nutrient extraction process as the food progresses along the digestive tract. The crown can be affected by the bacterial build up that can happen periodically as a result of eating foods high in calories and sugars. Once the bacteria builds up it can create acidic byproducts that can break down the enamel of your tooth leading to discrepancies and compromising of the structure of your tooth. This can necessitate the restructuring and replacement of the crown with a prosthetic dental crown. This requires a skilled dentist to plan out and prepare the tooth for the placement of this prosthetic dental crown.

Dental crowns can be made by a skilled dentist who understands your dental anatomy. The dental crown must be planned adequately by an experienced dentist in order to be successful. First the dentist must identify your dental anatomy for an adequate nerve block. The dentist will then numb your mouth using a lidocaine solution. Once your mouth is sufficiently numb the dentist can then start to get to work. The dentist will use a dental drill and remove the area of diseased enamel. This area is problematic and must be replaced in order to reinforce the tooth. The dentist will then prepare your tooth for dental crown fitting. Once this is perfected the dentist can then begin to create your prosthetic dental crown.

There are many different types of crowns that a person can request. Crowns come in many different materials:
Ceramic Crowns: The ceramic crowns can be created in the exact likeness to your tooth. The dentist can use a color scheme to match the color of your surrounding dentition in order to create a crown that is as lifelike as possible. Once this is done the dentist can create your crown to fit on top of the tooth just prepared. Gold Crowns: These crowns are an older version of the crown. They do not have the same likeness of your tooth but by trade are much more sturdy and cement better than ceramic crowns. |
