What are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are a type of dental restoration that is used to cover a damaged or decayed tooth. The crown is a tooth-shaped "cap" that is placed over the damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Dental crowns are made from a variety of materials, such as porcelain, metal, or a combination of both.

When is Dental Crown needed?

Dental crowns are generally recommended when a tooth has been significantly damaged due to trauma, decay or other factors. They can also be used to hold a dental bridge in place, to protect a weak tooth from further damage, to cover a dental implant, or to cover discolored or misshapen teeth.
