Dental Crown
A dental crown is a custom-fitted restoration that completely covers or “caps” a damaged tooth or dental implant. Crowns are used to strengthen and protect the tooth’s structure when fillings or other restorative procedures are not sufficient. They can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination, offering both durability and a natural appearance. Crowns are ideal for restoring teeth that are fractured, severely decayed, have undergone root canal treatment, or in cases where there’s a need for cosmetic enhancement. The process typically involves two visits to the dentist: one for preparing the tooth and taking impressions, and another for fitting the crown. Dental crowns not only improve the function and aesthetics of your smile but also can last many years with proper care.
