When a tooth has lost too much structure to hold a filling, a crown can rebuild it. Dental crown restoration at Royal Aesthetics Dental Clinic in Ota gives weakened teeth a strong, custom made covering that works and looks like a natural tooth.
Patients from Ota, Sango Ota, Agbara and Ewekoro visit us to save teeth that might otherwise be lost. The dentist plans each crown around your bite, your tooth and your appearance goals.
This page covers when crowns are recommended, how the process works and how to look after a crowned tooth. It also points to related treatments that may form part of your plan.
What a crown restoration involves
A crown fits over the whole visible part of a tooth, like a cap. It holds a cracked tooth together, supports a large repair and restores the original shape and chewing surface.
Crowns are made in different materials, including porcelain, metal based options and combinations. The dentist chooses based on the tooth position, bite forces and the appearance you prefer.
Because a crown surrounds the entire tooth, it spreads chewing forces evenly and protects the structure beneath. This makes it a dependable choice for teeth that carry heavy load.
When a crown is recommended
A crown is a common choice for teeth with deep decay, large fillings, fractures or worn surfaces. Teeth treated with root canal therapy often need crowns because they can become brittle.
Digital dental X-rays and a clinical examination show how much healthy tooth remains. This helps the dentist decide whether a crown is the right restoration.
Prompt treatment matters. A cracked tooth can split further, and decay can reach the nerve if it is ignored, which makes later treatment more involved.
- Large or failing fillings
- Cracked or broken teeth
- Teeth after root canal treatment
- Severely worn teeth
- Teeth with deep decay
Your restoration visit
The dentist numbs the area, removes decay and shapes the tooth to receive the crown. An impression or scan is taken, and a temporary crown protects the tooth while the permanent one is made.
At the second visit the temporary is removed and the dentist checks the fit, colour and bite of the new crown before cementing it. The gentle and calm environment at our clinic helps anxious patients feel relaxed.
Some patients are concerned about the temporary stage. The temporary crown protects the tooth and keeps it comfortable, though it is best to avoid sticky foods until the final crown is in place.
Aftercare and long term maintenance
A newly fitted crown can feel slightly different at first, and mild sensitivity typically fades within days. Brush gently, clean between teeth daily and avoid chewing very hard foods on the crowned tooth.
Regular check-ups allow the dentist to examine the crown margins and the gum around it. Good home care prevents decay at the edge, which helps the crown last.
Cleaning thoroughly around the crown margin matters most. Good habits keep the gum healthy and the underlying tooth free from decay.
Related restorations
If a tooth is missing, a bridge or implant may complement your crown work. Our team can discuss dental bridge and crown fitting, root canal treatment and composite fillings as parts of one treatment plan.
Saving a damaged tooth with a crown keeps your natural root in place. Early assessment gives you more choices, so book a visit when you first notice a crack or sensitivity.
A crown is often a long term investment in your natural tooth. With attentive care and regular review, many patients keep the same crown in comfortable service for a long time.
