What is a Dental Crown? Different Types & Treatment Options
A dental crown is a custom-fitted cap that completely covers your damaged or weakened tooth. These permanent restorations strengthen teeth while restoring their natural appearance. Modern dental crowns are crafted from durable materials including porcelain, zirconia, and ceramic, designed to match your natural tooth color perfectly.
Traditional dental crowns require two separate visits over 2-3 weeks. At your first appointment, we take detailed tooth impressions and place a temporary crown. Your permanent crown is then custom-crafted at a dental laboratory. Once ready, you'll return for your second visit to have your permanent crown fitted and cemented.
For patients seeking faster results, we offer same-day CEREC® crowns using advanced digital scanning and on-site milling technology. This modern approach eliminates temporary crowns and multiple appointments, allowing you to leave with your permanent crown in just one visit.
The Benefits of Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are a trusted restoration solution that protects and strengthens damaged teeth. With proper care, they offer exceptional durability and can last 10-15 years.
Some of the benefits that come with dental crowns include:
- Strengthening weakened teeth to prevent fractures
- Restoring proper bite alignment and chewing function
- Protecting sensitive teeth from temperature changes
- Supporting teeth after large cavity fillings
- Anchoring dental bridges securely
- Enhancing smile aesthetics with natural-looking results
Modern crown materials like porcelain-fused-to-metal and all-ceramic options provide superior strength while matching your natural tooth color. This combination of durability and aesthetics makes traditional crowns an excellent choice for both front and back teeth.
The Difference Between Traditional and Same-Day Crowns
While both crown types effectively restore damaged teeth, traditional and same-day dental crowns differ in their treatment process and overall benefits.
Cost
Same-day crowns can be cheaper than traditional crowns because you only need one visit to the dentist.
Fit
Same-day crowns are more accurate than traditional crowns, so they require fewer adjustments.
Longevity
Traditional crowns are usually stronger and last longer than same-day crowns.
Material options
Traditional crowns offer more material options.
Appearance
Traditional crowns look more natural and closely match the color of your other teeth
