IS A CROWN IN YOUR FUTURE?
3

• Do you regularly engage in combat or full contact
  sports? Without a mouth guard?

Do you have a particularly strong sweet tooth?
Does your home have hardwood or tiled flooring?
4

• Do you have a fondness for smoking or dipping
  tobacco?

Do you have children that simply refuse to brush
regularly?
5

• The above questions are just a few of the
  conditions that may necessitate a dental crown.

6

• Whether you lose an incisor in a hockey match,
  crack a molar from chomping hard caramels

7

• shatter a tooth upon falling onto your kitchen
  floor or discolor your teeth from frequent
  tobacco usage, a crown can cover up the issue and
  restore your smile.

8

• A crown may also be necessary in order to protect
  the baby teeth of young children until their
  adult teeth can develop.

9

• Crowns intended for long-term use can be made
  from a variety of materials, with the severity of
  the tooth's damage playing some factor in the
  patient's options.

10

• Crowns made from metal and metallic alloys are
  commonly used for their durability and
  necessitating a minimal removal of tooth mass.

11

• One drawback of metallic crowns is their
  appearance metallic crowns are extremely common
  in molars.

12

• When appearances need to be maintained, metallic
  crowns can be fused with shaded porcelain to
  match your smile.

13

• The drawbacks of these metal/porcelain crowns is
  they are only slightly more durable than
  porcelain, can wear down over time and a dark
  streak is noticeable around the gum line from
  their metal.

14

• While resin crowns are less durable and resilient
  than metallic crowns, they are among the cheaper
  options when a crown
• is necessary.

15

• Even beyond the variety of material options,
  crowns can also be made as partial implants
  these "onlays" and "3/4" crowns cover only a
  portion of a tooth.

16

• Barring zirconia or milled crowns, which can be
  made on-site in a single visit, crowns require
  two visits to the dentist.

17

• X-rays and possibly a preliminary root canal if
  the tooth's pulp is at risk.

18

• The dentist anesthetizes the tooth's area in
  order to file it down for fitting if the tooth
  is greatly damaged, the dentist will use filler
  to anchor the crown.

19

• The dentist then makes a mold of the tooth.
• The dentist will then install a temporary acrylic
  crown.

20

• Your dentist removes the acrylic crown, checks
  the permanent crown and cements it under
  anesthetic.

21
While a crown may seem like the perfect solution,
there are a handful of issues that may crop up
after their installation.
22
DISCOMFORT/SENSITIVITY
The tooth may feel tender or especially reactive
to temperatures.
23
DISCOMFORT/SENSITIVITY
Pain or sensitivity from biting down is a sign of
a misfit and you should call your dentist
immediately to fix it.
24
PORCELAIN CROWNS CAN CHIP.
Loosening or falling out. Cement can sometimes
wash out, leaving the crown loose and open enough
for bacteria to slip in.
25
PORCELAIN CROWNS CAN CHIP.
Crowns can fall out when there is a poor fit,
improper cement or only a minimal amount of tooth
to cover.
26
PORCELAIN CROWNS CAN CHIP.
In rare cases, metallic and porcelain crowns run
the risk of agitating allergies.
27
Be mindful that crowns are more like a prolonged
band-aid for the dental issue.
28
And crowned teeth are also still at risk for
decay and gum disease.
29

daily, usually accompanied with some mouth
washand always remember to floss!
