Dental Crowns: Enhance Your Smile with Durable Aesthetic Solutions
Dental crowns play a vital role in aesthetic dentistry, providing essential structural support and rejuvenation for damaged or worn teeth. Custom-made to restore the natural shape and function of your teeth, dental crowns are an effective solution for enhancing both the appearance and performance of your smile.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
1. Protection: Dental crowns serve as a protective barrier for fragile or compromised teeth, safeguarding them from further decay and damage.
2. Aesthetic Restoration: Designed to mimic the natural look of your teeth, crowns seamlessly integrate into your smile, enhancing your overall aesthetics.
3. Functional Restoration: With crowns in place, individuals can bite, chew, and speak confidently, restoring normal oral function and comfort.
Types of Traditional Crowns
1. Temporary Dental Crowns
Temporary dental crowns are made onsite and serve as a short-term solution while awaiting permanent crowns. Usually crafted from stainless steel or acrylic, these crowns provide protection, especially for children who are losing their baby teeth.
2. Porcelain/Ceramic Crowns
Known for their natural appearance and durability, porcelain or ceramic crowns are ideal for those with metal allergies. They offer excellent strength and longevity, making them a popular choice among patients.
3. Pure Resin Crowns
As a cost-effective option, pure resin crowns are affordable but prioritize price over aesthetics. While they offer some support, they are less durable than porcelain or ceramic crowns and can be prone to fractures.
4. Porcelain Crowns on Metal
Combining the strength of metal and the beauty of porcelain, these crowns provide an excellent aesthetic solution while ensuring durability. They can be color-matched to blend with your natural teeth but may wear more than pure metal crowns.
Dental crowns present a versatile approach to restoring both functionality and aesthetic appeal to your teeth. Regardless of whether you prioritize durability, aesthetics, or cost, there is a crown type suited to your specific needs.

How long do dental crowns last?
Dental crowns can last between 5 and 10 years, depending on the material. Zirconium and porcelain crowns are the most durable in general. But other options can also last a long time. Your compliance with the aftercare also determines how long your crowns can last. Be sure to brush and floss twice a day and avoid putting pressure on the dental crowns when consuming hard foods.
Can dental crowns be replaced?
Your dentist can easily replace a dental crown if it splinters or breaks. You can also replace a dental crown if you want to opt for a more suitable material. Many patients realize that a certain material is uncomfortable or decide to switch to a more modern option, and that is normal.
Fortunately, dental crowns are easy to replace.
What is the best material for dental crowns?
The best dental crown material varies according to the position of the teeth. In general, zirconium crowns work better for the posterior teeth, since they can better withstand the pressure of chewing. For the front teeth, E-max crowns are the ideal option because they provide the results with the most natural appearance.
Can dental crowns be bleached?
Dental crowns cannot be whitened like natural teeth. This is because they do not have pores through which bleaching materials can enter and remove difficult stains. Therefore, it is impossible to whiten crowns or dental prostheses.
That is why it is essential to avoid staining products and practicing good oral hygiene. Taking precautions is the best way to keep your dental crowns looking shiny over the years.
Do the dental crowns fall out?
It is very rare for dental crowns to fall off, but it is not impossible. In case your crown falls, you can keep it somewhere until you go to an appointment with your dentist. Don't try to put it back on yourself, your dentist will do it professionally and safely.
Do everything possible to prevent this from happening. You can do it by avoiding chewing with your dental crown. This does not mean that you cannot chew with a dental crown, but it is preferable to distribute the load on the other teeth.
When would you need a dental crown?
You will need a dental crown if your natural crown is damaged. In other words, if the root of your tooth is still intact and the damage only affects the portion of the tooth above the gums, it is likely that your dentist will recommend dental crowns.
Such damage can be the result of cavities or due to dental procedures, such as an endodontics. All this can wear out the structure of the crown and restorative treatments become a necessity.
Can dental crowns cause health problems?
Dental crowns are a generally safe treatment with very limited side effects. One of those health problems is an allergic reaction to the corona material. In this case, you must seek professional help immediately to remove the crown.
Apart from this, dental crowns are harmless to oral health.
