Sometimes, despite your best efforts at flossing, brushing your teeth, and visiting the dentist regularly, your genetics work against you when it comes to tooth decay. If not taken care of, decaying teeth can lead to even bigger problems such as periodontal disease. For some, a filling will be enough to save the tooth. But sometimes the tooth is so decayed that it is beyond saving. In cases like these, a crown can be a useful tool for dentists. A crown is a type of dental restoration that provides permanent covering for an original tooth. When an ongoing cavity threatens the health of a tooth or if a tooth is chipped and cracked beyond repair, a crown can be used to help restore the tooth. A crown can also be used to replace old fillings that are too conspicuous. With decayed teeth, a dentist will use local anesthesia to numb the area around the tooth so that the decay can be removed. The dentist will then re-sculpture the tooth so that it will provide a good fit for the new crown. Once this is accomplished, he or she will take an impression of your teeth so that a custom crown can be made that will provide the ideal fit. While this custom crown is being created, the dentist will likely fit you with a temporary crown made of acrylic resin. Permanent crowns are constructed from a variety of materials. The most common are porcelain and composite resin. Once the permanent crown is ready the dentist will fit it into place with dental cement.
