Why Does a Tooth Need a Crown?

A dental crown is essential when a tooth is weakened, damaged, or severely decayed beyond what a simple filling can repair. Teeth with large cavities, fractures, or those that have undergone root canal therapy often lack the strength to function properly. Without a crown, these teeth are at high risk of breaking, which can lead to tooth loss and the need for more extensive treatments like dental implants or bridges (Dimitriu et al., 2018). A crown restores the tooth’s strength, shape, and appearance, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile confidently.

If you are looking for a comprehensive smile makeover, our cosmetic crowns offer a durable, natural-looking, and transformative solution.

What Is the Process of Getting a Dental Crown?

The dental crown procedure typically involves two appointments. During the first visit, your Lithia dentist removes decay, reshapes the tooth, and takes digital or traditional impressions to create a custom-fit crown. A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while the permanent one is being fabricated in a lab (Goodacre et al., 2001). At the second appointment, the dentist removes the temporary crown, fits the permanent one, and bonds it securely for a natural look and feel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my dental crown or bridge be noticeable?

Modern dental materials and technology have dramatically improved the appearance of dental crowns and bridges. The porcelain used in today’s crowns and bridges can be color-matched to blend perfectly with the shade of your natural teeth. With proper placement, your dental restoration should be virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth.

What Happens if a Tooth That Needs a Crown Is Left Untreated?

Ignoring a damaged tooth can lead to serious dental problems. A weakened tooth may crack, break, or become infected, resulting in pain, abscess formation, and even tooth loss (Schwartz et al., 2004). If a root canal-treated tooth is not crowned, studies show it has a higher risk of fracture and failure, often leading to extraction (Aquilino & Caplan, 2002). Additionally, leaving a compromised tooth untreated may cause shifting of adjacent teeth, bite misalignment, and difficulty chewing, impacting long-term oral health (Kojima et al., 2017).
