When Crowns Are Necessary
Crowns are recommended when a tooth needs more protection than a filling can provide. Common reasons include large cavities that compromise too much tooth structure, cracked or fractured teeth needing full coverage, teeth weakened by root canal treatment, severely worn teeth from grinding or acid erosion, and covering a dental implant.
Dr. Mosmen will evaluate your tooth and recommend a crown only when it’s the most appropriate solution.
Protecting Cracked Or Weakened Teeth
A crown acts like a protective cap that covers the entire visible portion of your tooth above the gum line. This full coverage holds a cracked tooth together, prevents bacteria from entering and causing infection, and protects the tooth from further damage.
Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment are especially vulnerable to fracture. A crown placed after root canal therapy protects the tooth and extends its lifespan significantly.
Crown Materials & Options
Dr. Mosmen offers several crown materials, each with unique advantages. All-porcelain crowns provide the most natural appearance and are ideal for front teeth. Zirconia crowns combine exceptional strength with a highly aesthetic appearance, making them suitable for both front and back teeth. Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns offer reliable strength but may show a dark line at the gum line over time.
Dr. Mosmen will recommend the material that best fits your needs and aesthetic goals.
Crown Placement Timeline
Crown placement typically requires two visits. At the first appointment, Dr. Mosmen prepares the tooth, takes digital impressions, and places a temporary crown. Your permanent crown is cemented at your second visit a few weeks later.
Restoring Bite Strength
A properly fitted crown is essential for comfort and long-term success. Dr. Mosmen carefully evaluates your bite to ensure the crown aligns properly with your opposing teeth and doesn’t interfere with your natural chewing pattern.
A well-designed crown distributes chewing forces evenly, protects your remaining teeth from excessive wear, and supports comfortable function.
Crown Longevity & Aftercare
With proper care, dental crowns can last 15 to 25 years or longer. Brush and floss daily, avoid chewing ice or hard objects, wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth, and visit us regularly for checkups.
Dr. Mosmen will examine your crown at every visit to ensure it’s holding up well.
