Crowns

Crowns

Dental crowns are custom-made caps placed over damaged or decayed teeth. They restore shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, metal, or resin, and are often used after root canals, large fillings, or fractures.

Types of Dental Crowns:

  • Porcelain/Ceramic: Natural appearance, ideal for front teeth.
  • Metal: Durable, often used for molars.
  • Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM): Combines aesthetics and strength.
  • Resin: More affordable, less durable.

Procedure:

  1. Preparation: The tooth is shaped to fit the crown.
  2. Impression: A mold is taken to create the custom crown.
  3. Temporary Crown: Placed until the permanent crown is ready.
  4. Final Placement: The permanent crown is cemented in place.

Benefits:

  • Restores Function: Improves chewing and speaking.
  • Aesthetic Improvement: Enhances smile appearance.
  • Protection: Shields weakened teeth from further damage.

Maintenance:

  • Regular brushing and flossing.
  • Avoid hard or sticky foods.
  • Routine dental check-ups.
