Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are a standard procedure for restoring damaged teeth. A dental crown helps to protect damaged teeth and improves their appearance while requiring minimal care.

It’s one of the restorative dentistry services we offer at Sutton Dental. Here’s what you need to know about dental crowns.

How Do Dental Crowns Work?

Dental crowns are small caps that cover a tooth. Your dentist can use different materials, including porcelain, ceramic, resin, or even metal, to create a cap that will protect your tooth while mimicking the appearance of a real tooth.

It’s a permanent treatment, and crowns typically last five to 15 years with proper dental hygiene habits. In many cases, the crown will cover the entire tooth, but your dentist can also create a dental onlay or a ¾ crown if there is minimal damage to the tooth.

Why You Would Need a Dental Crown

Are you wondering if crowns could be a good option for you? Let’s take a closer look at the pros of this procedure.

  • Crowns prevent further damage to teeth affected by tooth decay and other issues
  • These caps can protect your teeth after a root canal or filling
  • They restore the appearance of your smile
  • Crowns are a durable treatment option that requires minimal care
