Dental Crowns
SERVICE OVERVIEW
Dental crowns, also known as caps, are dental restorations that completely cover a damaged or weakened tooth. They are designed to improve the strength, shape and appearance of the tooth.
Purposes:
Protect a tooth weakened by extensive cavities. Restore a broken or chipped tooth. Covering a tooth after a root canal. Improve the appearance of a discolored or misshapen tooth.
Crowns can be made of various materials, such as ceramic, porcelain fused to metal, metal (such as gold or silver alloys), or composite resin. The choice of material depends on several factors, including tooth location and aesthetic preferences.
POPULAR QUESTIONS
Dental crowns are used to restore teeth that are damaged, weakened, broken, or have extensive decay. They are also used after a root canal treatment or to improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth.
The process of placing a dental crown is usually completed in two visits to the dentist. The first visit includes preparing the tooth, taking impressions, and placing a temporary crown. At the second visit, the permanent crown is placed.
The lifespan of a dental crown can vary depending on the material used and the care provided. In general, they can last for many years with good oral hygiene and regular check-ups.
