Dental Crown in Three Rivers, MI

Dental Crown - Dentist

Crowns are synthetic caps, usually made of a material like porcelain, placed on the top of a tooth.

Crowns are typically used to restore a tooth's function and appearance following a restorative procedure such as a root canal. When decay in a tooth has become so advanced that large portions of the tooth must be removed, crowns are often used to restore the tooth.

Crowns are also used to attach bridges, cover implants, prevent a cracked tooth from becoming worse, or an existing filling is in jeopardy of becoming loose or dislocated. Crowns also serve an aesthetic use, and are applied when a discolored or stained tooth needs to be restored to its natural appearance.

Procedures

A tooth must usually be reduced in size to accommodate a crown. A cast is made of the existing tooth and an impression is made. The impression is sent to a special lab, which manufactures a custom-designed crown. In some cases, a temporary crown is applied until the permanent crown is ready. Permanent crowns are cemented in place.

Crowns are sometimes confused with veneers, but they are quite different. Veneers are typically applied only to relatively small areas.

Caring For Your Crowns

With proper care, a good quality crown could last up to eight years or longer. It is very important to floss in the area of the crown to avoid excess plaque or collection of debris around the restoration.

Certain behaviors such as jaw clenching or bruxism (teeth grinding) significantly shorten the life of a crown. Moreover, eating brittle foods, ice or hard candy can compromise the adhesion of the crown, or even damage the crown.

  • "Dr. Hayman and his staff are amazing. I cracked a tooth last Thursday evening. I called the office Friday. They were closed, but Dr. Hayman's number was on the message. I called and explained what happened. He checked their schedule for Monday morning and worked me in. They don't usually do extractions, but he said it is taking a while to get into an oral surgeon so he wanted to get it taken care of for me so I wouldn't be in pain over the holidays. Needless to say, nobody wants to have a tooth extracted. He and his assistant, Jess, did a fantastic job! I felt no pain while he worked to get the tooth out and he told me what he was doing each step of the way. I highly recommend Cassopolis Dental and Dr. Hayman."
