Dental Crown

Dental Crown

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. It fully covers the visible portion of the tooth above the gum line and is bonded securely to the tooth.

When Are Dental Crowns Needed?

  1. To Protect Weakened Teeth:
    • Shields teeth weakened by decay or after a root canal treatment.
  2. To Restore Broken or Worn-Down Teeth:
    • Covers and strengthens teeth with significant cracks or fractures.
  3. To Improve Appearance:
    • Enhances the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth.
  4. To Support Dental Bridges:
    • Acts as anchors for dental bridges.
  5. For Dental Implants:
    • Serves as the artificial tooth attached to a dental implant.
  6. Cosmetic Purposes:
    • Used to improve the smile line or align teeth.

Types of Dental Crowns

  • Metal Crowns:

    • Made from gold, palladium, or other metal alloys.
    • Extremely durable but less aesthetic.
  • Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM):

    • Combines metal strength with a natural tooth-like appearance.
    • Can wear down opposing teeth over time.
  • All-Ceramic or All-Porcelain Crowns:

    • Offer the best match for natural teeth in terms of color and appearance.
    • Suitable for front teeth but less durable for molars.
  • Zirconia Crowns:

    • Highly durable and aesthetic.
    • Ideal for patients needing strength and a natural look.
  • Resin Crowns:

    • Cost-effective but prone to wear and less durable.
  • Stainless Steel Crowns (Temporary):

    • Often used for children’s teeth or as temporary crowns.

Dental crowns are a versatile and reliable solution for restoring dental health and aesthetics.

A dental crown is a cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. It covers the entire visible part of the tooth above the gum line.

 

Dental crowns typically last between 5 to 15 years, depending on the material, oral hygiene practices, and lifestyle habits (e.g., avoiding hard foods and grinding teeth).

 

 

The procedure is usually painless because it’s performed under local anesthesia. You might experience mild sensitivity or discomfort after the procedure, which resolves quickly.
