Tooth Crown

Dental crowns not only restore your teeth but also give you the confidence to flaunt a picture-perfect smile. Let us dive into the world of dental crowns and discover how they can transform oral health.

What Are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a hollow, tooth-shaped custom-made cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. The dental crown covers the entire tooth portion that we can see above the gumline. Whether you are protecting a fragile tooth or enhancing your smile, crowns seamlessly blend functionality with aesthetics.

Why are Dental Crowns Worth It?

• Restore Functionality: Crowns bring back the full functionality of a damaged tooth. This means that placing dental crowns on your teeth lets you chew, speak, and smile effortlessly.
• Protect Vulnerable Teeth: Dental crowns can shield cracked, broken, or heavily filled teeth from further damage.
• Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, crowns can last for a decade or more, making them a sound investment.
• Aesthetic Appeal: They not only repair teeth but also enhance your smile by covering discoloration or misshapen teeth.
• Boost Confidence: Enjoy a seamless, natural look that makes you want to smile more often.

Types of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns come in various materials, each suited for specific dental needs and aesthetic preferences. Here is a closer look at the types of dental crowns and their pros and cons to help you make an informed decision.

1. Porcelain or Ceramic Crowns:

These crowns are crafted from tooth-colored materials, making them ideal for restoring front teeth where aesthetics is your priority. They can perfectly mimic the natural look and color of your teeth. As they are hypoallergenic, they are suitable for individuals with metal allergies. With the quality of stain resistance, they ensure a long-lasting bright smile.

2. Metal Crowns:

Metal crowns are made from gold, palladium, or other alloys. These are super durable but less discreet. As they are exceptionally strong and long-lasting, they are perfect for back molars. They require minimal removal of natural tooth structure for placement and are resistant to wear and fracture.

3. Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns:

These crowns combine the durability of metal with the natural appearance of porcelain, making them a popular choice. As they are the perfect blend of aesthetics and strength they are quite suitable for both front and back teeth. Besides, they provide a more natural look than full metal crowns.

4. Zirconia Crowns:

Zirconia crowns are both tough and tooth-like in appearance. Zirconia is a high-tech ceramic material known for its strength and aesthetics. It is highly durable and resistant to fractures. As zirconia is biocompatible, zirconia crowns are less likely to cause allergic reactions. Zirconia crowns can mimic the natural appearance of teeth. They are suitable for both front and back teeth.

5. Resin Crowns:

Resin crowns are made from a composite material and are typically used as a temporary solution. They are easy and quick to fabricate. Although resin crown is an affordable and budget-friendly option, it can be used only as a temporary crown and need to be replaced with permanent options like metal or ceramic crowns.
