Dental Crowns FAQ
-
What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown can be described as a cap resembling a tooth in shape. Dentists employ these crowns to repair teeth that are fragile, fractured, or affected by decay.
The crown is designed to encase the entire tooth like a well-fitting hat. To guarantee an accurate fit, the dentist will securely remove a minor portion of enamel before affixing the new crown.
Dental professionals create these crowns using materials such as resin, metal, and porcelain.
-
Typically, how long does a dental crown last?
On average, dental crowns tend to last between five to fifteen years. Observing signs of wear, deterioration, or harm indicates the need for replacing the dental crown.
