Wearing The Crown
A crown sounds so much fancier than a cap, doesn't it?
Typically you will have an impression made in the dentist's office and the crown will be fabricated in a lab. The taking of the impression is the yucky part. That plastic tasting stuff is gross. You will have a temporary metal crown to protect the tooth until the final crown arrives.
Several types of materials can be used to craft the crown. Full gold crowns are made from a single piece of alloy. They are not entirely made of gold. They can contain gold, platinum, or silver known as noble metals. Base metals such as copper and tin are also used. To be a full gold crown they must contain 60% noble metals, 40% of which must be gold.
Another type of crown is
The crown will last about ten years. The main disadvantage to using a crown for restoration is the irreversible destruction of the tooth underneath. Crowns are also used on the teeth on either side of a fixed bridge used to replace a missing tooth. With the advent of dental implants, using a crown on adjacent teeth is not necessary. Crowns fashioned using the CAD/CAM method do not require the underlying tooth to be ground down as much.
Gone are the days when a "capped" tooth was obvious. The new methods of restoration dentistry make the teeth look beautiful and as if you were born with them.
