DENTAL CROWN

Dental crown, also known as dental cap is one of the most sought-after dental restorations available. It is used to fix damaged tooth due to large cavities by entirely covering tooth to prevent from further weakening.

Crown is also used to improve tooth’s appearance, shape, alignment and dental occlusion (bite). The crown can be color matched to the patient’s existing teeth. It is also used to create dental bridge to fill gaps between teeth by cementing crown on natural teeth or on implant to prevent teeth from shifting, which may result in a bad bite,

All-ceramic crown is ideal for front teeth for aesthetic purposes. Due to their life-like translucency, all-ceramic crowns can be the most cosmetically pleasing of all of the different types of dental crowns. And for this reason, they often make an excellent choice for restoring front teeth.

Ceramic-fused to metal crown is ideal for back teeth for added strength. The metals used can be semi-precious or precious metals. This type of crown is a good choice for long bridges where the metal provides the needed strength.
