What are dental crowns?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed on a tooth to restore its shape and appearance. Dental crowns may be tooth-colored or silver, gold, or porcelain. Dental crowns may be used to restore severely damaged teeth, protect weak teeth from breaking, restore broken teeth, or cover dental implants. Dental crowns made from porcelain, ceramic, and resin materials are designed to look natural and blend in with your natural teeth.

Why are they needed?

A dental crown is a temporary “cap” that is placed over a tooth to strengthen it, improve its appearance, and improve its alignment. Crowns can be used to repair teeth that have been broken, worn down, weakened, or discolored. Crowns are very effective at restoring the look and function of a tooth that has become damaged.

Types of dental crowns

We make dental crowns for both cosmetic and restorative purposes. A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a tooth. A crown improves a tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance.

The materials used for dental crowns vary. The three types of crowns are:

- Metal (gold, palladium, nickel, or chromium alloy).

- Porcelain fused to metal (PFM).

- All-ceramic or all-porcelain.

Tooth whitening with dental crowns

Tooth whitening is a simple cosmetic procedure that can greatly improve the look of your smile. However, there are also other options for patients who want to replace their discolored teeth. If you want your teeth to look whiter, you might consider a dental crown.

When teeth are discolored, it can make them look unhealthy. A dental crown covers the entire visible surface of your tooth, so it improves the appearance of your teeth. The procedure, which can take two appointments, involves filing down your tooth and placing a crown over it.

This process can improve the colour and appearance of your teeth, as well as hold together parts of your damaged teeth.

Dental bridge vs. dental crown

Dental crowns can last a lifetime, but a dental bridge might be a better option for you. If you have a tooth that is missing, a dental bridge keeps the surrounding teeth from moving out of place. Losing a tooth can cause the other teeth to become misaligned.

A dental crown is used to restore a tooth that is severely damaged. The crown is fitted over the tooth and cemented into place. A dental crown is used to repair a tooth that has broken or had a root canal. Dental crowns can also be used to hold together a dental bridge.

Dental crown procedure

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cover that is placed over a tooth that has been damaged. This crown will cover the entire tooth, and is cemented into place. In addition to covering the tooth, the crown will also encase the entire tooth root. Dental crowns are necessary when a tooth is cracked or has a large filling that is too large for the remaining tooth.

Advantages of dental crowns

Dental crowns are custom-made caps that are placed over a tooth. They are used to restore a tooth’s function and appearance, as well as provide much-needed strength to the tooth. Crowns can also be used to attach a dental bridge.

Dental crowns are incredibly versatile and can be used to restore anything from a chipped tooth to a tooth that is severely decayed. If you have a tooth that is heavily filled or misshapen, a dental crown can help restore it to its former glory.

Disadvantages of dental crowns

The main problem with dental crowns is the relatively long treatment time. It can take two or more appointments with a dental practitioner to have dental crowns made and placed.

Dental crowns are restorations that cap damaged teeth. They cover both the front and back of teeth, making them look like a natural tooth. Dental crowns can restore function to damaged teeth and protect them from further damage. They also improve the appearance of your smile!
