Hi, I'm Dr Shawna D’dharan and an associate dentist of Elite Dental Group.

Today we're going to talk about how a tooth crown gets fitted. Now, coming in for a crowning procedure, you would have to make at least two visits to your dentist.

The first visit, your dentist will trim the tooth slightly and take an impression or a mold which will be sent to a lab to make your brand new custom fitting crown.

On the second visit is when the crown gets fitted. Now on that visit you will get some anesthesia on the tooth, even though your tooth maybe root canal treated, because we also want to anesthetize or make the gums around the teeth numb.

Your dentist will remove the temporary crown that's on the tooth, clean it up to remove any excess cement and then they will try in your new crown. Once the crown is tried in, we will check for a couple of things:

1. does the crown fit well?
2. are the margins fitting properly?
3. is the bite proper?
4. is the color of the tooth matching your natural teeth color?

Sometimes we may even take an x-ray to check whether the crown is properly sitting on the tooth. Once we are happy with the fit and the color of the crown, we will remove it and clean the crown.

Sometimes the internal surface of the crown gets chemically treated as well, then we will move on to your tooth. We will make sure the tooth is properly cleaned and ready, to get the new crown cemented on it.

It is also very very important then that tooth remains dry. Sometimes your dentist may even put a rubber dam on to just prevent any saliva or any moisture contamination from getting onto the tooth.

Finally it's the most awaited time, your crown gets cemented onto your tooth and your dentist will be cleaning up all the excess cement around your crown, which sometimes does get under the gums.

Finally we will take one last x-ray to check that all the cement has been cleared off and you will be going home happy with a big smile because you have a new crown.

What Are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that is cemented onto existing teeth or implants. Crowns can be used to strengthen and protect a damaged or cracked tooth, and/or after a tooth has had root canal treatment done, and/or improve its appearance, shape or alignment. A crown can also be placed on top of an implant to provide a tooth-like shape and structure for function.

When do you need a dental crown?

To protect a weak, cracked or damaged tooth from further breakage
To restore a severely worn or cracked tooth
To reinforce a tooth with a large filling
To reinforce a tooth that has had root canal treatment
To cover poorly shaped or severely discolored teeth
To hold a dental bridge in place
To cover a dental implant

What are dental crowns made of?

The most popular type of dental crown in the market today is Zirconia. Other materials include gold and metal alloys, other types of porcelain (lithium disilicate) or resin-ceramic hybrids. Porcelain can also be combined with zirconia or metal bases.
