it restores the shape and size of a tooth. it contributes to efficient chewing because it is made to meet the opposing teeth correctly. when the crown or its outer part is tooth coloured it restores the appearance of the tooth. in the case of a heavily filled or weakend tooth, particularly a back tooth, it holds everything together and so prevents any weakend pieces chipping off or cracking.\na crown acts as a strong band around a tooth keeping everythinkg together. a crown may be used for a front tooth  when it has been badly broken or heavily filled or if it has had root canal and has changed color. a crown may be used in the back again if the tooth has been heavily filled or a piece of the fulling or the remaining tooth has broken off.\n\nUm disadvantages, hmm cant really think of any except the cost. which is usually about $1100.00 australian dollars....

You cannot change the colour of a crown... whether it is an acrylic temporary or a porcelain permanent crown.  The only way to change the shade is to have them removed, remade and placed again.  I'm going to refrain from lecturing on leaving a temporary crown on past the recommended time as it's ill-fitting, etc etc etc & problems are sure to arise from doing so.  See your dentist as soon as possible.

Well if your are talking about teeth:\n\nThe earliest record of crown work is from the etruscans over 2500 years ago.after that, crowns disappered until the 1700s. During that time period, the work done was a bit crude due to the absence of goodmaterials.  Typical materials used were from animal or human teeth and held inplace by metal pivots. \nThe 1800s brought changes in crown restoration.  Porcelain began being used andsome crowns used a gold cap fitted over the root. As new machines were invented, they allowed forfaster and more accurate tooth preparation. Improvement during the 1900’s was largely due to the advancement of metal castingtechnology and the creation of an adjustable detached-post crown. Today, crowns are comfortable and can be created in a shade similar to your own teeth.\n\nIf you are talking about royalty and their crowns:\n\nRoyalty in ancient Egypt wore crowns that connected them to the gods. In almost every artistic depiction of the gods, the gods can be seen wearing a crown that identifies them with some sort of aspect of nature or power. When a king or a queen wore a crown that was similar to the depicted crown of the deity, they were connecting themselves with power and the protection of that god or goddess. Kings, queens, and princesses also wore crowns that identified their rank and function, while also enhancing the wearer's appearance and status by association with precious materials and by making the wearer to appear physically taller. A very limited selection of archaeological examples of crowns has survived into modern times. These examples include only circlets and some kerchiefs. The circlets were crafted from gold, silver, and gemstones. Thus precious materials worn by the deities and the royal family enhanced and demonstrated their high status. Moreover, precious materials associated royalty with the divine. Gods, in Egyptian belief, had skin made from gold. Thus the addition of a gold element to a human's headgear suggested a close connection with the divine. Additionally, reliefs and sculpture portray royal and divine crowns that were very tall.

In Canada your looking at about $1500.00 dollars per tooth, times that buy 10 or 20 teeth, or how ever many you may have. Although dental implants are better than crowns, bridges and definitely dentures. I'm a dental assistant.

In a tooth?  Not all that long...maybe a few weeks.  If you don't get the crown put on soon it will come out and the rest of the tooth will break off and be a real mess.  I speak from having experienced this myself.

I'd rather have lots of small cavities that  1 or two large cavities.   Because lots of small ones will be easier to fill, I'm more inclined to shoose whit restorations over amalgams and if a small filling fails you can always make a bigger hole and fill it.  If a large filling fails its Root Canal and crown.   Smaller is better.

The CAD/CAM generated Procera Crowns are made of biocompatible material (99.5 percent Alumina oxide). They have both strength and esthetics like translucency that of original tooth in comparison to other brands/materials. This material is comparable to Titanium, which minimizes the risk of allergic reactions, hence, expensive. More and more people have already started asking for material not containing metal or other alloys. \n\nThere are no functional weaknesses with Procera crowns. But it is quite important to note that due to strength or hardness of these crowns the opposing teeth also need to be having same kind of crowns. Otherwise there is possibility that these may do some harm to the opposing teeth. In the event there is no need for a crown on the opposing teeth, then PFM gold crown would be the right answer.

The crown can be removed, but it would need to be replaced with another crown.  There was too much tooth structure removed during the preparation for the crown to have composite bonding placed.  Discuss with your dentist the problems you have with the crowns.... are they too thick?  Do you not like the shade?

An implant & crown is far better than a brdige(Pont).  a few thousand dollars more but it doesn't sacrifice any adjacent teeth.  You can floss just like normal teeth and etc.   However in the case that the adjacent teeth are decayed or broken down already you may go for the bridge and kill 3 birds with one stone.  Good luck frenchie

Not being able to eat Swedish Fish. lol\nIt's not painful, more like uncomfortable. Take Advil before you go, if you can take it. \nNo needles, no gas. It's a simple procedure. When you go, the assistant will clean up your teeth, talk to you, place  a rubber damn, and ortho cement, then the orthodontist will  place the brackets and bands if you need them on, then the wires. It takes around an hour. You will go every 6-9 weeks at first, then you have more frequent visits. Depending on your teeth they will stay on from 1-4 years, but it's all good. The end result is well worth it. A beautiful smile is well.... beautiful.\nI hope this is helpful.

1. after having the crown, if it is high it can cause pain as everytime you bite together all the pressure first hits this tooth,\n2. you say the root canal helped. but not after the injection had worn off, are u sure the root canal was really needed? as u may of felt the relief of the pain from the injection as oppose to the actually starting of root canal\n3. does the crown still feel high?, when u close ure mouth slowly together is the crown the first tooth u feel?\n4. i would suggest going back to the dentist, doctor will not help as they dont know much about dentistry,( not in uk anyway) \n5. you can also experince pain after an root canal so it could be one of many things, i think maybe ure dentist should of informed you of these things a little better.\ngood luck i hope u find a solution

Well depending on the severity of the holes you either need a simple filling or a root canal and a crown (they grind down most of your tooth and put a cap on it). Crowns are very expensive, but if your tooth decay is advanced you can't afford to wait as it negatively effect the rest of your health dental and otherwise. Heart disease is just one example.\n\nIf you don't have dental insurance, check into getting it cheaply or look into area dental schools which may provide service cheap as they teach their dental students. Many dentists will also work out a payment plan with you. And as bad is this sounds, if you are broke, shop for a dentist in the "poor" side of town since they are generally 50% cheaper then other dentists.

The price is going to be about the same as a crown.  It's also going to range depending on where you live in the U.S.  It's going to run you between about $550 - $850 per tooth.

I agree with your dentist. You are having all the symptoms of needing a crown.  When chewing is hurting this tooth, it sounds like the tooth is all ready cracked. I've never been a big fan of inlays/onlays; always thought you should go ahead & crown the tooth.

$1300.00  there is the problem, thats too cheap.\n\nYou must have some kind of HMO.  \n\nMost dentist will tell you if the tooth may need further work.  But maybe we can get away with a filling. We'll just have to see how the tooth responds.  Every now and then a tooth does still suprise me and die for no reason that I can think of.  so we usually do the root canal then the crown if all things are good for a few weeks.\n\nPatients hate surprises so we try to cover all the possible risks when they are expected.
