Frequently Asked Questions
A crown is a very common dental restoration treatment. A crown covers a tooth weakened by decay, a chip or break, gum disease, or as part of root canal therapy. Made as a covering to restore strength to the damaged tooth, a crown is a hard, cap-like shell made of porcelain, ceramic, metal, or resin. Most people think of the tooth-colored crown, patented in 1889 and made of porcelain. Today, porcelain or ceramic crowns are the preferred choices for patients because they are durable and blend into the surrounding teeth.
Crowns have enabled dentists to salvage literally millions of teeth that would have otherwise been beyond saving, but time is of the essence. If your dentist recommends a crown, get it done sooner, not later. Too long of a delay in treatment may mean that a crown is no longer a viable treatment, and tooth loss is likely.
Far from a new dental treatment, crowns made of gold have been discovered in ancient skeletal remains dating back 4,000 years; that's quite a long history! Current statistics report that approximately 15 million people in the U.S. have at least one crown; they clearly serve their purpose well!
