A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth. It is often used to restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance.
Crowns are used for various reasons, such as protecting a tooth with a large filling, saving a weakened tooth after a root canal treatment, or helping rebuild a heavily broken-down tooth. You can also get a dental crown to change the appearance of your front teeth.
Crowns are typically made of materials such as metal, porcelain, ceramic, or a combination of all of these. They are made in a laboratory and cemented onto a prepared tooth by the dentist to provide long-lasting protection and support.
For all the different types of crown options, please consult your dentist on which material would best suit you.
