What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap designed to cover a damaged or decayed tooth, restoring its shape, size, and strength. At Caspian Dental & Orthodontics, our team uses dental crowns to provide long-lasting protection and improve the function and appearance of your teeth. The process involves creating a durable and aesthetically pleasing crown that fits over your existing tooth, effectively shielding it from further damage and enhancing its overall health.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is a dental crown, and why might I need one?
A dental crown is a cap placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, and function. You might need a crown to protect a tooth after root canal therapy, to cover a large filling, or to repair a tooth that is weakened or broken.
What are the benefits of getting a dental crown?
Dental crowns offer several benefits, including restoring the tooth’s strength and functionality, improving its appearance, and protecting it from further damage. They also help in maintaining proper bite alignment and preventing additional stress on adjacent teeth.
How is a dental crown applied?
The process typically involves two visits. During the first visit, the tooth is prepared, and impressions are taken to create a custom crown. A temporary crown is placed while the permanent crown is being made. At the second visit, the temporary crown is replaced with the permanent one, which is then adjusted for a perfect fit.
What materials are used for dental crowns?
Dental crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of these. The choice of material depends on factors such as the location of the tooth, the extent of damage, and aesthetic considerations. Our team will help you choose the best material for your specific needs.
How should I care for my dental crown?
To ensure the longevity of your dental crown, maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly. Avoid chewing on hard foods or using your teeth as tools. Regular dental check-ups are also essential to monitor the condition of your crown and overall oral health.
