Crowns


Treatment Time
2 office visits; 1-4 hours each for up to 4 teeth (more time needed for more extensive treatment).

Maintenance

  • Avoid biting down on hard foods and ice
  • Get yearly fluoride treatments
  • Brush and floss daily

Results
The best method to improve tooth shapes is to fill spaces.

5-15 years (directly related to fractures, problems with tissues, and decay).

Advantages

  • Some realignment or straightening of teeth is possible
  • Should last about twice as long as the bonding
  • Gum tissue tolerates porcelain well
  • Colour change is possible

Disadvantages

  • Requires an anaesthetic
  • Tooth form is altered (most of the tooth enamel is removed)
  • May need to be replaced after 5-15 years
  • More expensive than bonding
