Affordable Dental Crowns
Dental crowns, onlays or caps are designed to fit over the tooth cusp to partially or fully restore tooth structure. Teeth may become eroded by foods high in acids or sugar or worn down due to teeth grinding habits. Sports injuries and poor dental hygiene may also lead to damaged tooth enamel and tooth cusps.
Existing teeth that require treatment with dental crowns are first cleaned before the dental crown is fixed to restore tooth structure. Tooth restorations are bonded to the existing tooth structure with dental cement or resin to seal the tooth and prevent infection.
If left untreated damaged teeth may develop larger cavities that weaken tooth structure and expose the inner tooth dentin. Tooth decay and infection may set in causing tooth sensitivity and pain. The teeth can eventually rot and break or fall out. Emergency dental care may be required to extract a severely infected tooth and be followed by root canal treatment.
Having treatment with dental crowns ensures existing tooth structure is preserved and tooth extraction or loss is prevented. Dental crowns act to reinforce tooth structure and are also used to fill tooth gaps for straighter teeth.
Dental crowns enable healthy bite function and improve aesthetics for a fresh, bright smile. Where patients have lost teeth dental implants may be inserted as replacement tooth roots to anchor a dental crown. Alternatively, dental crowns may be used to anchor dental bridges that serve as a replacement for missing teeth.
Dental Procedures to Restore Lost Fillings and Crowns
The dental clinician may simply re-bond the crown with dental cement or resin if it has been located and brought to the appointment. However, if it is missing a new dental crown will need to be custom-made to fit over the damaged tooth.
Where fillings are lost the clinician will use either white dental composite or dental cement to fill the cavity to seal and reinforce the tooth. A local anaesthetic may be provided while the tooth is prepared for tooth restoration and during treatment for pain-free filling and crown care. Clinicians may use curing lights to speed up the dental bonding and setting process. CEREC technology is commonly used now for porcelain dental restorations.
Preventing dental filling and crown loss
Dental restorations, such as fillings and crowns, have a life expectancy of around ten years depending on the material used to create the restoration. New materials and technology are in development to improve dental restoration choices for patients.
Following dentist guidelines for tooth restoration is important. It should include careful flossing and avoidance of sticky foods that may pull out the filling, as well as continued regular dental hygiene to keep bacteria at bay.
Dental check-ups enable restorations to be monitored and restored as needed. Accessing emergency dental treatment when oral trauma occurs or if a dental restoration is damaged, broken or lost is also highly important. This allows early intervention so restorations may be restored or replaced for healthy dental function. Keeping dental appointments for fitting and maintenance of dental restorations is vital to preserve existing tooth structure.

How long do dental crowns last?
The average lifespan for a well-maintained dental crown is typically around 15 years. However, when taken care of properly, it is common to see them last upwards of 25-30 years.
Is it painful to have a crown put on your tooth?
Getting a crown shouldn't cause you any more pain or discomfort than a typical filling. Your dentist will make sure that they put a local numbing jelly on your teeth, gums and surrounding tissues, but there is usually an anesthetic injected as well, so you might feel a small pinch.
Cost of dental crown ranges from $500 to $3,000 per tooth; depending on the type of material. Porcelain crowns typically cost between $800 - $3,000 per tooth. Porcelain fused to metal crowns cost vary between $800 and $1,400 per tooth. Metal crowns (Gold alloy and mix) price between $800 to $2,500.
Even if you take great care of your teeth, it's likely to deteriorate over time, so your crown may become loose and fall out. If this happens, it's usually possible to simply clean the tooth and crown to remove any remaining cement, and then bond the crown back to your tooth structure.
A dental crown is a covering for a damaged tooth that imparts strength and restores function. Dentists create the crown so that it looks as natural as real teeth. In most cases, dental crowns look natural due to the talent of the particular dentist.
A front tooth crown is usually made of tooth-colored materials like porcelain or ceramic and shouldn't affect your bite or teeth's natural appearance. In fact, today's front tooth crowns should make your smile look beautiful, sparkling, and natural.
They are shaped like normal teeth, and designed specifically for your mouth. But sometimes these crowns – particularly new crowns – can feel uncomfortable or uneven, almost like something is wrong. Crowns are supposed to feel like normal, heathy teeth, so it's understandable to feel concerned when your crown feels off.
