What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its strength, shape, and appearance. It is designed to protect the tooth and prevent further damage while blending seamlessly with your natural teeth.

When Is a Dental Crown Needed?

A dental crown is often recommended for:

- Restoring a broken or worn-down tooth
- Protecting a tooth after root canal treatment
- Covering a large filling when there is little tooth structure left
- Improving the appearance of a discoloured or misshapen tooth
- Strengthening a tooth with severe decay

Types of Dental Crowns

There are different types of dental crowns, and the best option depends on your needs and preferences:

- Porcelain Crowns – Highly aesthetic and blend perfectly with natural teeth.
- Ceramic Crowns – Durable and ideal for front teeth restorations.
- Metal Crowns – Extremely strong and used for molars where durability is essential.
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns – A combination of strength and natural appearance.

The Dental Crown Procedure

Getting a dental crown usually involves two visits:

First Visit: The tooth is prepared, and an impression is taken to create a custom crown. A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth.
Second Visit: The permanent crown is carefully fitted and cemented into place for a strong, natural-looking finish.
