What are dental crowns?
Fill that empty space in your teeth
Crowns are fixed prosthetic attachments that fully cover the teeth with a sort of “cap” or armor identical to the tooth that is going to be covered by it. It is used to protect damaged teeth, improving its appearance, as well as to align the bite and improve the oral hygiene.
At Clinik TJ we’ll get you your crown.
What are the reasons to get a dental crown?
Protect and strengthen your teeth
Getting a crown can be confused with a strictly aesthetic procedure, but its main function is therapeutic, since it protects and strengthens damaged teeth. The main reason to get a dental crown is to cover a tooth after a canal root, but they are also applied to reinforce a dental implant, to replace a previous crown, to cover a broken, split or shattered tooth, and even to complete or align the dentition when you have a small, big or separated tooth.
Procedure to diagnose a damaged tooth and apply a dental crown:
Inspection: A careful inspection of the whole dentition is carried out, analyzing which are the teeth that are weak or injured.
Personalization: Each patient can choose the material for the crown: porcelain, metal or zirconia. The prosthesis is personalized so that it adjusts perfectly to the original tooth.
Placement: The tooth is prepared and polished so that the prosthesis stays fixed. Finally, the crown is placed.

Is it reversible?
Crowns are easily replaced if they present damages; however, the polishing of the tooth is irreversible.

How long do crowns last?
Metal crowns can last forever. Zirconia and porcelain crown can live from 5 to 30 years, depending on the care you give them. Toothpaste, toothbrush and brushing technique can affect the maintenance of the crowns, which is why the dentist has to explain how to take care of crowns.

What’s the difference between a crown, a veneer and a bridge?
A crown fully covers a tooth just like a cap or an armor. A veneer only covers the front face of the tooth like a patch. The bridge holds to two teeth to add a prosthetic missing tooth, in order to complete the dentition.
