Dental Crowns – Restore & Protect Your Teeth with Strong, Natural-Looking Crowns

What Is a Dental Crown ?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged, weakened, or cosmetically imperfect tooth, restoring its strength, function, and appearance. Crowns are designed to match the shape, size, and color of natural teeth, offering a long-lasting solution for tooth restoration.

At AA Dental Studio, we provide high-quality dental crowns in Islamabad, Rawalpindi, in the vicinity of Bahria Town, and DHA, ensuring a seamless, durable, and natural-looking smile.

Different Materials Used for Dental Crowns

Dental crowns come in various materials, each offering unique benefits:

Porcelain (Ceramic Crowns) – Best for front teeth, offering a natural, tooth-like appearance.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM Crowns) – A combination of metal strength and aesthetic porcelain finish.
Zirconia Crowns – Extremely strong and durable, ideal for both front and back teeth.
Gold & Metal Crowns – Highly durable but less aesthetic; used for back molars.
Composite Resin Crowns – More affordable but less durable compared to other options.

💡 Which Crown Is Best for You? Our experienced dentists will recommend the best material based on your specific dental needs, budget, and aesthetic preferences.

Indications for a Dental Crown

A dental crown is necessary in the following cases:

Severely Decayed Teeth – When a filling is not enough to restore the tooth.
Broken or Cracked Teeth – To protect and strengthen damaged teeth.
Root Canal-Treated Teeth – To provide reinforcement after a root canal.
Worn-Down Teeth – Due to grinding (bruxism) or acid erosion.
Large Fillings – When a tooth has a large filling with minimal natural structure left.
Dental Bridges – Crowns support dental bridges to replace missing teeth.
Cosmetic Enhancement – To improve the size, shape, or color of a tooth.
Dental Implants – Crowns are placed on top of implants to complete the restoration.

Step-by-Step Dental Crown Procedure

1. Initial Consultation & Tooth Preparation

The dentist examines the tooth and takes X-rays.
The tooth is shaped and filed to make room for the crown.
If needed, a root canal is performed before crown placement.

2. Digital Impressions & Temporary Crown

Digital or traditional impressions are taken for a precise fit.
A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while the permanent crown is crafted.

3. Permanent Crown Placement (2nd Visit)

The temporary crown is removed, and the permanent crown is checked for fit, color, and bite alignment.
The final crown is cemented securely in place.

⏳ Procedure Duration: 2 visits over 1-2 weeks (same-day crowns available for some cases).

When to See a Dentist for a Dental Crown ?

Severe tooth pain or sensitivity that doesn’t subside.
Cracked, broken, or discolored teeth.
A previous crown that feels loose or has fallen off.
Large cavities that cannot be filled.
Discomfort or bite issues after a dental procedure.

Complications Associated with Dental Crowns

Decay Under the Crown – Poor oral hygiene can lead to cavities forming beneath the crown.
Crown Dislodgement – May occur due to weak cement or excessive chewing pressure.

Allergic Reactions to Materials – Rare but possible with metal crowns.

💡 Solution: Routine dental visits, proper oral hygiene, and wearing a nightguard (if needed) can prevent these issues.

Post-Treatment Care Instructions for Dental Crowns

Avoid hard and sticky foods (e.g., ice, caramel, chewing gum) for a few days.
Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and floss gently around the crown.
Use a nightguard if you have bruxism (teeth grinding).
Schedule regular checkups to ensure the crown remains secure and intact.
If your crown feels loose or falls off, contact your dentist immediately.
