What are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are custom-made caps placed over damaged, decayed, or aesthetically unpleasing teeth to restore their shape, size, strength, and appearance. They are commonly used in cosmetic dentistry to improve smile aesthetics while protecting and strengthening the underlying tooth structure.
Crowns are typically recommended when a tooth is:
- Severely worn down, broken, or cracked
- Heavily filled or has undergone root canal treatment
- Misshapen or severely discolored
- Used as an anchor for a dental bridge or dental implant
Materials used include porcelain, ceramic, metal alloys, and zirconia. The choice depends on the location of the tooth, aesthetic requirements, and patient preference. The procedure is usually done in two stages: tooth preparation and crown placement, often spaced over one to two weeks.
