Crowning or Capping a Tooth

• Crowns and bridges are the most usual dental
  restoration work in dentistry
• A Crown is a cap or covering for a tooth. It is
  used when your tooth is discoloured, cracked or
  broken, heavily filled or if fillings have been
  lost.
• Capping or crowning a tooth will usually consist
  of two to three visits. 
• When would I need a crown?
• To cover discoloured or worn teeth
• Replacement of a large filling
• To stop a tooth from further cracking or
  fracturing
• To anchor a bridge replacing a missing tooth
• After root canal treatment

How do Crowns Work?

• Upon the first visit, your tooth will be prepared
  to receive the new crown.
• Your tooth will first be shaped to fit inside the
  new cap or crown. This may involve some drilling
  to give your tooth an even shape.
• The tooth along with the surrounding area will be
  prepared with a numbing injection. If the tooth
  has very little structure left, the tooth may
  have to be lifted up by filling it with
  additional material, rather than just filed down,
  to support the crown.
• After tooth preparation is completed, an
  impression of your tooth is taken, either with
  reliable putty-like impression materials or
  digitally and then are sent off to the dental
  laboratory where the impressions will be used to
  create the model of your tooth for creating the
  crown.

How Long do Crowns Last?

• While crowns can last a lifetime, they do
  sometimes come loose or fall out.
• The most important step you can take to ensure
  the longevity of your crown or bridge is to
  practice good oral hygiene.
• Keep your gums and teeth healthy by Brushing with
  fluoride toothpaste twice a day and flossing
  daily. Also, visit your dentist and hygienist
  regularly for checkups and professional
  cleanings.
• To prevent damage to your new crown or bridge,
  avoid chewing hard foods, like ice or other hard
  objects.
