About the treatment

Dental crowns are custom-fitted caps placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength, and function. They help preserve natural teeth and enhance your smile while preventing further deterioration. Crowns are a long-lasting solution to protect compromised teeth from fractures, decay, or cosmetic imperfections.

Safe and Effective Teeth Whitening

A dental crown is designed to completely cover a tooth, reinforcing its structure while improving its aesthetics. They are commonly used for:

  • Strengthening weak or cracked teeth.
  • Restoring a broken or heavily decayed tooth.
  • Protecting teeth after root canal treatment.
  • Covering dental implants or supporting bridges.

Crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, and metal alloys, offering durability and a natural appearance.

Types of Dental Crowns

  • 1. Porcelain Crowns
  • Composition: Made from high-quality ceramic.
  • Pros: Looks natural, stain-resistant, and durable.
  • Cons: More expensive than metal alternatives.
  • 2. Metal Crowns
  • Composition: Made from gold, platinum, or metal alloys.
  • Pros: Extremely strong and long-lasting.
  • Cons: Less aesthetic due to metallic appearance.
  • 3. Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns
  • Composition: A combination of metal for strength and porcelain for aesthetics.
  • Pros: Durable and blends well with natural teeth.
  • Cons: May wear down opposing teeth over time

The Crown Procedure

  • 1. Preparation
  • A thorough examination and digital imaging help determine the best type of crown.
  • The tooth is reshaped to accommodate the crown securely.
  • 2. Placement

  • 3. Final Touches

  • Any necessary adjustments are made for comfort and function.

Aftercare for Dental Crowns

  • Post-Treatment Care
  • Avoid hard or sticky foods for the first few days.
  • Maintain proper brushing and flossing to prevent plaque build-up.
  • Schedule regular dental visits to check the crown’s condition.
  • When to Contact Your Dentist
  • If you experience pain, sensitivity, or looseness in the crown.
