A dental crown is usually recommended in situations where a tooth’s structure has been significantly compromised. Here are some common scenarios that may require a dental crown:

• When a tooth has extensive decay that cannot be effectively restored with a dental filling alone.
• After undergoing a root canal treatment, the tooth becomes weaker and more prone to fractures.
• When a tooth has suffered a significant fracture or trauma, affecting its strength and stability.
• If you have a dental implant, a dental crown is often placed on top of the implant to restore the appearance and function of the missing tooth.
• In cases where cosmetic improvements are desired, such as covering severely discoloured or misshapen teeth. 

It’s important to consult with your dentist who will evaluate your specific situation and determine if a dental crown is necessary for optimal oral health and aesthetics.

The average longevity of dental crowns is typically around 10 to 15 years. However, with proper maintenance and oral care, certain types of crowns like zirconia and full metal crowns have the potential to last even longer. It’s important to note that the lifespan of a dental crown can vary depending on individual factors and oral hygiene practices. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene habits can help extend the lifespan of dental crowns.

The dental crowning process is designed to be as comfortable as possible for patients. Local anaesthesia is used during the procedure to ensure that you don’t feel any pain. After the procedure, it’s normal to experience some sensitivity or mild soreness in the treated tooth and gums, but these symptoms are usually temporary and should subside on their own. If you experience excessive or prolonged pain after getting your crown fitted, it’s advisable to contact your dentist to schedule an appointment for further evaluation and appropriate management.

The entire dental crown procedure generally involves two visits, usually spaced over a period of 6 to 8 days. In some cases, additional visits may be necessary to address any complications or make adjustments to the dental crown.

Increased tooth sensitivity: It is common to experience sensitivity or discomfort in the crowned tooth, especially when consuming hot or cold food and drinks. Excessive sensitivity or pain may indicate an improper fit of the crown.

• Chipped crown: Dental crowns made from full porcelain or ceramic materials are more prone to chipping and breaking compared to other materials. Care should be taken to avoid biting on hard objects or using excessive force when chewing.
• Crown falling off: In some cases, dental crowns can become loose and fall off. This usually happens when there is an improper fit of the crown or if the cement holding it in place deteriorates. If you notice a loose crown, it is important to contact your dentist promptly to have it re-cemented or replaced.

Dental crowns, veneers, implant crowns, and dentures cannot be whitened using traditional whitening treatments. These restorations are made from materials like porcelain, metals, or zirconia, which are not responsive to whitening solutions. If you are interested in improving the colour of your dental restorations, it is best to consult with your dentist who can discuss alternative options such as replacing the existing restorations or exploring other cosmetic procedures that can help achieve the desired result.
