Crowns can be made in many different materials – including composite resin, a nearly identical color and texture to natural teeth. Porcelain is another material that also resembles the color and luster of a natural tooth.
Not all materials have this added benefit, but porcelain is stain resistant.
With proper care, dental crowns can last anywhere from five to fifteen years. If you suffer from any issues with your jaw muscles where you clench or grind your teeth – it may be worthwhile to treat these issues prior to installing your crowns. Otherwise, you may end up chipping or damaging your crowns while grinding or clenching your teeth.
Since they are shaped like natural teeth, these caps can fully restore your speech – just as it was before you damaged or lost your tooth!
Placing a crown over a partially decayed tooth will actually serve as protection for the tooth and will prevent the decay from spreading and further damaging the tooth.
