What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that fit over damaged or weakened teeth. Think of them as protective helmets for your vulnerable teeth, providing both strength and a natural appearance.
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that fit over damaged or weakened teeth. Think of them as protective helmets for your vulnerable teeth, providing both strength and a natural appearance.
These precisely crafted restorations completely encase the visible portion of your tooth above the gumline, restoring its shape, size, strength, and overall appearance. Made from durable materials like porcelain, ceramic, metal alloys, or a combination of these, crowns are designed to withstand the daily pressures of biting and chewing while blending seamlessly with your natural teeth.
When Do You Need a Crown?
Crowns serve multiple purposes in restorative dentistry:
Cracked or fractured teeth
preventing further damage
After root canal treatment
protecting the treated tooth
Severe decay
when a filling isn't enough
Worn-down teeth
restoring proper bite and function
Cosmetic enhancement
improving shape, size, or color
