Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are an effective solution for restoring damaged teeth, offering both functionality and aesthetics.

These restorations cover a tooth completely, providing a 360-degree covering that protects and restores its original shape.

What is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a cap placed over a tooth that has lost a significant amount of its structure due to extensive decay, fractures, or damage.

Once placed, the crown covers the entire tooth, restoring its appearance and functionality.

The dental crown is designed to mimic the shape, size, and color of natural teeth, providing both aesthetic and functional benefits.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

• Aesthetic Restoration: Dental crowns are made from materials that mimic the color and translucency of natural teeth.

  This ensures that the restoration blends seamlessly with the rest of your smile, enhancing dental aesthetics.

• Functional Recovery: By restoring a damaged tooth with a crown, you regain its ability to chew and bite efficiently.

  This helps maintain complete dental function and prevents additional issues.

• Durable Protection: Crowns offer long-lasting protection for weakened teeth.

  By covering the damaged tooth, they prevent further damage and reduce the risk of additional fractures.

• Perfect Fit: Crowns are permanently cemented onto the prepared tooth or dental implant, ensuring a precise fit.

  This guarantees that the restored tooth feels, functions, and looks like a natural tooth.

Materials Used in Dental Crowns

There are various materials available for dental crowns, each with its own advantages:

• Porcelain: Ideal for visible restorations due to its ability to match the natural tooth color.

• Zirconia: Provides high strength and durability, suitable for posterior teeth.

• E-max: Known for its excellent aesthetics and strength, ideal for aesthetic restorations.

• Metal-Porcelain: Combines the strength of metal with the natural appearance of porcelain, ideal for posterior teeth and cases requiring greater durability.
