____When Is a Porcelain Crowns Needed?
A dental crown, or cap, is a protective casing bonded to a tooth or implant to restore function and appearance.
There are several cases where you and the dentist may decide a porcelain crown is the best option to restore a tooth.
Crown candidates:
You have had root canal therapy.
You have lost a significant portion of your tooth due to decay.
A large piece of your tooth has cracked or broken off.
You have a large cavity that threatens the tooth’s integrity.
Your implant has been damaged and needs replacement.
You want to improve a tooth’s position, shade, or shape and other restorative options aren’t enough.
The process varies depending on your specific situation, but generally proceeds as follows:
1. Preparation & Impression
Your tooth is prepared under local anaesthetic. A digital scan is taken to help create your permanent crown. A temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth in the meantime.
2. Digital Scanning
A 3D iTero scan captures a precise digital map of your tooth and surrounding teeth. This ensures an accurate fit and is sent directly to the dental lab to start making your crown.
3. Custom Crown Creation
The lab produces a custom porcelain crown that fits your tooth naturally. The colour and shape are carefully matched to your other teeth for a seamless result.
4. Fitting & Cementing
Your temporary crown is removed, and the permanent crown is positioned. The fit, shape, and shade are checked before cementing. Once in place, you can chew and smile confidently.
