Types of Dental Crowns

Materials Tailored to Your Needs and Preferences

At Camelot Dental, we offer a variety of crown materials to suit different needs and preferences, including:
• Porcelain Crowns: Popular for their natural appearance, porcelain crowns are matched to the color of your natural teeth and are highly resistant to staining.
• Ceramic Crowns: Ideal for restoring front teeth due to their superior aesthetic qualities and excellent color matching.
• Gold Crowns: Known for their durability and strength, gold crowns are often recommended for back teeth where chewing forces are greatest.
• Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns: These offer a strong, durable base of metal covered with a layer of porcelain to provide a more natural look.

The Process of Getting a Crown

A Step-by-Step Guide to Your New Smile
Getting a dental crown typically requires two visits to our office. Here’s what you can expect during the crown procedure:
1. Initial Examination: We assess the health of your tooth and prepare it for the crown, which may involve reshaping the tooth and treating any decay or damage.
2. Impressions: We take accurate impressions of your tooth to ensure the crown fits perfectly.
3. Temporary Crown: A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while your permanent crown is being made.
4. Final Fitting: Once your crown is ready, you'll return for a final fitting. We’ll make any necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable and secure fit before permanently cementing the crown in place.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Enhanced Appearance and Restored Functionality
Dental crowns not only restore the appearance of damaged or decayed teeth but also provide structural support and improve functionality. With proper care, crowns can last many years, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Caring for Your Crowns

Ensuring Longevity and Durability
Maintaining your dental crowns is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Regular brushing and flossing, along with routine dental checkups, will help keep your crowns and natural teeth healthy and strong.
