Same Day Dental Crowns in Los Angeles, CA
What is a Dental Crown? Why Do I Need One?
Also called a “cap”, a dental crown is layer of material that covers the entire exposed top portion of a tooth. It strengthens and protects the tooth and is necessary when there is not enough tooth remaining to hold a filling properly. Crowns help to restore the function and appearance of teeth in a natural fashion.
They are also used to restore teeth that are cracked, fractured, or otherwise weakened. Crowns are also highly recommended after root canal therapy as such teeth become weak and more susceptible to fractures. They may also be used as an anchor for bridgework or to improve a bite. Many people also include them as part of their cosmetic dentistry treatments to change a tooth’s shape or color.
Types of Dental Crowns
There are different types of crowns that achieve similar goals with various pros and cons. Except for Stainless Steel crowns, all crowns are custom-made for your teeth in terms of size, shape, bite, and appearance.
- All Zirconia crowns are highly esthetic, very strong and can be used with both anterior and posterior teeth. Many patients prefer this type due to its strength and appearance.
- All Porcelain crowns have the most natural look and are usually the most versatile choice, but they are susceptible to cracks and chips.
- Porcelain Fused-to-Metal crowns are strong and can provide good esthetics. However, a metal border may be visible as gums recede, which occurs with age.
- All Metal crowns will not break or chip because they are made of gold or metal alloys. They are reserved only for posterior teeth due to the fact that they are most obvious in appearance.
- Stainless Steel crowns are pre-made, temporary caps, and thus, they are most commonly used for children
