Dental Caps
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap placed over a damaged tooth to restore its strength, size, and appearance. Crowns help protect the tooth from further damage while maintaining its natural function. They are commonly recommended when a filling isn't sufficient to restore a tooth’s integrity.
Types of Dental Crowns
- Porcelain Crowns: Highly aesthetic, ideal for front teeth.
- Metal Crowns: Extremely durable but less attractive.
- Ceramic Crowns: Blend well with natural teeth and are metal-free.
- Zirconia Crowns: Offer strength and aesthetics.
- Composite Resin Crowns: Affordable but less durable.
When Do You Need a Dental Crown?
- Severe tooth decay or cavities
- Broken, cracked, or chipped teeth
- Cosmetic enhancement
- Root canal-treated teeth
- Supporting dental bridges
