What Are Traditional Dental Crowns?

Traditional dental crowns are tooth-shaped “caps” that are placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength. Made from materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal, these crowns can be color-matched to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth for a natural appearance.

The Procedure for Placing Traditional Crowns

The process for placing a traditional crown typically involves two visits:

  1. First Visit: Dr. Chelsea Keck prepares the affected tooth by removing decay and reshaping it to fit the crown. Impressions are taken to ensure a precise fit, and a temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth.
  2. Second Visit: Once your custom crown is ready, it is securely cemented into place, restoring the tooth’s strength and function.

Benefits of Traditional Crowns

Traditional crowns offer a range of benefits:

  • Durability: They provide a long-lasting solution for damaged teeth, allowing you to chew and speak comfortably.
  • Versatility: Traditional crowns are used for a variety of purposes, including repairing cracked teeth, covering dental implants, and anchoring dental bridges.
  • Natural Look: When made from porcelain or ceramic, they can blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, offering both strength and beauty.

Caring for Your Traditional Crowns

Maintaining your traditional crown is straightforward. Just follow your regular oral hygiene routine—brushing, flossing, and scheduling routine dental checkups. Proper care will help ensure your crown lasts for many years and keeps your smile healthy.
