What Is a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps placed over damaged or weakened teeth to restore their shape, size, strength, and appearance. They fully cover the visible part of the tooth above the gum line, providing protection and improving aesthetics.
When Are Crowns Used?
Crowns are commonly used in cases where a tooth is severely decayed, cracked, or after root canal treatment. They help prevent further damage and restore the tooth’s function for chewing and speaking.
Materials:
- Porcelain
- Zirconium
- Metal
- Metal-porcelain combinations
Porcelain and zirconium crowns are especially preferred for their natural look and strength.
