What is a crown made from?
Crowns are made from a variety of materials. Your dentist will suggest a material or a combination of materials best suited to the tooth. The material can be ceramic, composite resin, porcelain or metal alloys, and most can be colour matched to your natural teeth.
What are the benefits of crown treatment?
Crowns provide functionality, allowing you to bite and chew correctly. They can also transform your smile by disguising broken, chipped or misshapen teeth, boosting your self-confidence.
How will I feel after treatment?
You will be aware of your crown for the first few days as it is something new in your mouth, and it may take a couple of weeks to fully adapt to it. However, you shouldn’t experience any discomfort and must contact your dentist if you do.
How long do crowns last?
Crowns are strong and can last for a decade or more, but their lifespan depends on the quality of the underlying tooth structure, your oral hygiene, diet and existing grinding or clenching habits.
If you are brushing and flossing your teeth daily, visiting your dentist and hygienist every six months and following their advice, it will increase the longevity of your crown.
Do crowns require special care?
Good oral hygiene is always the best way to look after your teeth. Aim for twice-yearly visits to your dentist for dental exams and to your hygienist for professional teeth cleaning.
