What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that completely covers a damaged or weakened tooth. A dental crown is designed to restore the tooth’s strength, function, shape, and appearance while protecting it from further damage.
While a filling can repair a small area of damage, dental crowns are often recommended when a tooth has significant decay, fractures, wear, or structural weakness.
A dental porcelain crown closely mimics the appearance of a natural tooth, allowing it to blend seamlessly into your smile while providing exceptional durability and protection.
When are dental crowns recommended?
Dental porcelain crowns have a variety of restorative and cosmetic applications, here are symptoms that can be treated:
Restore cracked or broken teeth
Protect and strengthen teeth that have been damaged by fractures, accidents, or excessive wear.
Repair severely decayed teeth
Restore teeth that have too much damage for a traditional filling to provide long-term support.
Correct bite problems
Dental crowns can help restore proper bite alignment by adjusting the shape and function of teeth affected by wear, damage, or positioning issues.
Close spaces between teeth
Dental crowns can be used to improve smile aesthetics by closing gaps and creating a more balanced, uniform appearance.
Improve tooth alignment and angulation
In some cases, dental crowns can enhance the appearance of slightly misaligned or angled teeth without orthodontic treatment.
Support dental bridges and implants
Dental crowns can be used to replace missing teeth as part of a bridge or attached to a dental implant.
What are the types of dental crowns?
With modern dental materials and techniques, dental crowns can be designed to closely match the appearance, colour, and function of your natural teeth. The right type of crown depends on the condition of your tooth, the amount of remaining tooth structure, and your overall treatment goals.
