To restore a tooth’s size, shape, strength, and look, a dental crown is a form of dental repair positioned over the tooth. A crown is a “cap” that completely encases the tooth’s visible surface above the gum line.

One can select the option of putting a dental crown in the following conditions:

• Dental decay
• The tooth at the bottom is cracked
• Large filling
• Root-canal therapy
• Cosmetic purposes
• Dental implant
• Support for a dental bridge

The following factors can affect the duration:

• Material
• Quality
• Oral hygiene
• Wear and tear
• Bite alignment

• Cost
• Preparation
• Sensitivity
• Decay
• Fit issues

• If you feel any discomfort or sensitivity.
• If you feel the crown is shaky or moving when you speak or bite.
• If the crown has any cracks or chips, report it.
• If the gums near the crown start to hurt, swell, or become red.
• If you smell or taste anything unpleasant coming from the crown.
