Dental Crowns
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns, sometimes referred to as caps, are custom-made coverings that encase the entire visible portion of a tooth above the gum line. They are designed to restore the tooth's shape, size, strength, and appearance, while also providing protection and support.
Fix Broken Teeth
Brace and Protect Weakened Teeth
Improve Aesthetics
Types of Dental Crowns
Dental crowns can be made from various materials, each with its own advantages:
Porcelain Crowns
These crowns are popular for their natural appearance and can be matched to the color of adjacent teeth.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns
These crowns combine the strength of metal with the aesthetics of porcelain, making them suitable for both front and back teeth.

Metal Crowns
Crowns made from metals like gold alloy or other base metal alloys are incredibly durable and ideal for back teeth where strength and function are paramount.
All-Ceramic or All-Porcelain Crowns
These crowns provide excellent aesthetics and are preferred for front teeth due to their ability to blend seamlessly with natural teeth.
Caring for your Dental Crown
Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial for the longevity of your dental crown:
- Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
- Floss daily to remove plaque and debris from around the crown.
- Avoid chewing hard foods or using your teeth as tools to prevent damage to the crown.
- Visit Delatite Dental regularly for check-ups and professional cleanings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dental crowns typically last many years, and its not uncommon for crowns that were placed 20+ years ago to still be stable and function. This is of course highly dependent on the material used, your oral hygiene habits, and daily wear and tear.
The process of getting a dental crown is not usually painful. Your dentist will use local anesthesia to numb the area, ensuring you are comfortable during the procedure.
Dental crowns made from porcelain or ceramic cannot be whitened with traditional teeth whitening treatments. It’s essential to discuss teeth whitening options with your dentist before getting crowns.
Depending on the situation, alternatives to dental crowns may include dental bonding for minor repairs, inlays or onlays for larger fillings, or veneers for cosmetic enhancements.
While dental crowns do not require special care beyond regular oral hygiene practices, it’s essential to avoid chewing hard objects and maintain good oral hygiene to prolong their lifespan.
