A damaged or weakened tooth may need more protection than a filling can provide. Dental crowns in Wilmington, DE are custom-made restorations designed to cover and protect a tooth while restoring its shape, strength, and function.

What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a restoration that fits over a prepared tooth, covering the visible portion above the gumline. It can strengthen a tooth that has been significantly weakened by decay, a fracture, a large filling, or previous dental treatment.Crowns can also be used to restore teeth after root canal treatment or to complete certain dental implant restorations.Modern crowns can be made from materials designed to closely resemble natural teeth, allowing them to blend with your smile.

When Might You Need a Dental Crown?
A crown may be recommended when a tooth has:
- Extensive decay
- A large or failing filling
- Significant cracks or fractures
- Severe wear
- A weakened structure after root canal treatment
- A shape or structural problem requiring additional protection
A crown isn't always necessary for a damaged tooth. If a smaller restoration can adequately repair the tooth, your dentist may recommend a more conservative option.
What Happens During Crown Treatment?
Treatment begins with an examination to determine whether the tooth can be restored and whether a crown is the appropriate solution.The tooth is carefully prepared to create space for the restoration. Your dentist then takes impressions or digital scans so the crown can be designed to fit your tooth and bite accurately.
A temporary crown may be placed while the permanent restoration is being made. Once the final crown is ready, your dentist checks its fit, appearance, and bite before securing it in place.
