What are Dental Crowns? 

Dental crowns are caps cemented or bonded to the remaining tooth structure of damaged or decayed teeth. When a filling is too large, crowns are used in place so the tooth won't break from becoming dry or brittle.

What Dental Issues Do Crowns Fix? 

Crowns fix chipped, broken or decayed teeth to their natural size, shape and function. Windsor Family Dental places dental crowns for patients with cracked teeth, large fillings, root canals or worn-down teeth. Crowns can even cover implants or other prior restorations. Contact our office today if you think a dental crown might be the right solution for you. 

How is a Dental Crown Done?

Fitting your dental crown will require at least two visits to our office in Windsor.

During your first dental crown visit, a dentist will:

  1. Remove tooth decay and provide additional support for your new crown if necessary.
  2. Prepare and shape the tooth to make it ready for your new crown.
  3. Take an impression or digital scan with the iTero during the procedure.
  4. Fit the tooth with a temporary crown of either plastic or metal.

During your second dental crown appointment, we’ll:

  1. Remove the temporary crown
  2. Fit and adjust the final crown
  3. Cement the crown into place
Restorative dental crowns in Dane County

Crown on Implant

Sometimes an implant is used when a tooth is missing down to the root structure. Our team screws the dental implant into the jawbone and places the crown on top like a cap. The crown-on-implant procedure helps restore your tooth’s natural look and function. 

Root Canal to Crown Process

Depending on the tooth’s location, root canals sometimes require a crown or other restoration procedure to protect and restore teeth to full function. The root canal to crown process consists of a dentist removing inflamed or infected pulp and carefully cleaning the inside of the root canal to fill and seal the space. Damaged molars and premolars generally require crowns. 

Are Dental Crowns a Good Idea?

Dental crowns are good for most patients with damaged or decayed teeth. Benefits of dental crowns include:

  • Durable support for misshapen teeth or badly broken teeth
  • Natural look and feel
  • Improve alignment of crooked teeth
  • Solve functional chewing problems

When are Dental Crowns Recommended?

Dental crowns are typically recommended for patients who have experienced:

  • Damage or extensive decay to teeth
  • Structural tooth loss due to wearing or acid erosion
  • Broken fillings
  • Compromised tooth integrity due to an undermined cusp
  • Tooth pain from hairline cracks
  • Cracked teeth

Contact Windsor Family Dental today if you’ve experienced any common reasons for necessary dental crowns.

How Long do Dental Crowns Last?

Dental crowns typically last 5 to 15 years or more and are as close to permanent as any dental treatment can get. Our expert dentists use proven technology to secure the longevity of your dental crowns.

Caring for Your Dental Crown

Proper crown aftercare keeps your dental crown strong and functional. Brush and floss daily, use a fluoride mouthwash and avoid hard or sticky foods, especially in the first 24 hours. Regular dental checkups help catch issues early and a nightguard can prevent damage if you grind your teeth.

Contact your dentist immediately if your crown feels loose or uncomfortable – ignoring small issues can lead to bigger problems over time. Schedule an appointment today for expert dental crown care at Windsor Family Dental.

Dental Crown FAQs

 

What are the different types of dental crowns?

Dental crowns can be made from a variety of materials including gold, porcelain, porcelain fused to metal and zirconium. The type of crown you get will depend on your aesthetic preferences, durability and how much you are willing to spend. Porcelain crowns provide the most natural look while gold crowns offer exceptional durability and strength.

Can you get a crown without a root canal?

Yes, a crown can be placed without a root canal. Crowns restore damaged or discolored teeth and serve as anchors for dental bridges. While dental crowns are often used on compromised teeth, a root canal is only needed if the tooth's nerve tissue is infected or severely damaged.

Is it better to pull a tooth or get a crown?

Getting a crown is usually better than pulling a tooth. Keeping natural teeth helps maintain strength, alignment and appearance while avoiding the extra costs of tooth replacement. Dentists typically recommend extractions only when a tooth cannot be saved.

What can I get instead of a crown?

Alternatives to crowns include inlays, onlays and porcelain veneers. Inlays treat damage within the tooth’s grooves while onlays cover a larger portion of the tooth’s surface. Porcelain veneers improve the appearance of front teeth. A Windsor Family dentist can help determine the best option.

Do crowns rot your teeth?

No, crowns do not rot your teeth. Decay can develop underneath dental crowns if bacteria accumulate, especially if the crown is damaged. Brushing, flossing and regular dental visits help keep the area healthy.

Can you get a cavity under a crown?

Yes, cavities can form under a crown and may be hard to detect. Marginal decay starts at the edges where bacteria collect, while residual decay happens when untreated decay remains before the crown is placed. Good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups help prevent these issues.

I always enjoy my teeth cleaning with Emily. You can tell from her attitude that she really cares about her patients. She really is the best. Everyone is helpful at Windsor Family Dental. I highly recommend them.

Nick Z.

Dana, my hygienist, did a fantastic job. With over 25 years of experience, she skillfully engaged in conversation with me while working on my teeth, making the cleaning process pleasant and comfortable. I also had the pleasure of meeting Kristi, Dr. DeMatthew's assistant, who was friendly and personable. Dr. DeMatthew herself was articulate in explaining the details of my dental health, making sure I understood everything clearly. Overall, my experience at Windsor Family Dental was wonderful, and I highly recommend Dr. DeMatthew and her staff.
