Many people avoid restoring these\nissues, but they can actually lead to even more serious problems. Unlike other\nmedical problems that get better with time, dental decay and damage will only\nget worse if left untreated. Thankfully, your dentist uses custom-made dental\ncrowns in Gahanna to restore smiles back to their full function, beauty, and\nstrength. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a Dental Crown?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A dental crown gets its name because it literally \u201ccrowns\u201d\nor caps the entire visible portion of your tooth. Crowns can be made out of\nvarious materials, but most dentists today use high-quality ceramics to match\nthe look and feel of your natural smile. While they are mostly used to restore\ndamaged or decayed teeth, dental crowns can also be used to fix misshapen or\npermanently discolored dental structure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I Need a Dental Crown?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You could benefit from a dental crown if you have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>A tooth with decay too large to fill<\/li><li>A broken or cracked tooth<\/li><li>A weakened tooth<\/li><li>A chipped tooth<\/li><li>A misshapen tooth<\/li><li>A permanently discolored tooth<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental Crown Procedure <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It will typically take two visits for you to receive a\ndental crown. During the first, your dentist will remove a slight portion of\nyour tooth to accommodate for the crown. After, they will take impressions of\nyour smile, which will be sent off to a lab that custom makes dental crowns.\nWhile you wait for your permanent crown to be fabricated, your dentist will\ngive you a temporary one to maintain your appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your permanent crown is ready, you\u2019ll come back into\nthe office. Your dentist will ensure that you\u2019re satisfied with the appearance\nand feel of your new crown before permanently placing it. Once your crown is\nplaced, you\u2019ll have a fully restored and functional set of teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Caring for My Dental Crown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental crowns are made to last for years to come and you may\neven forget that you have one. However, there are some steps you can take to\nincrease the lifespan of your crown:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Brush and floss your teeth every day.<\/li><li>Add nonalcoholic mouthwash to your routine.<\/li><li>Visit your dentist regularly.<\/li><li>Only use your teeth for chewing and talking.<\/li><li>Avoid chewing hard objects like ice cubes.<\/li><li>Wear a mouthguard during sports or physical\nactivity.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If your crown is made of dental porcelain, it is actually\nmore resistant to staining than your natural teeth. That said, you should still\navoid routine consumption of staining items like wine, blueberries, coffee, or\nother foods rich in color. Tobacco use and smoking can also cause staining and\nother oral health problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does it sound like you could benefit from a dental crown?\nContact your dentist to schedule a consultation to see whether or not dental\ncrowns are right for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Brooke Buller is a highly trained dentist who graduated from The Ohio State University with her Doctor of Dental Surgery.
