Restore the Function and Beauty of Damaged Teeth

Dental crowns are prosthetic caps placed over damaged or decayed teeth to restore their shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are a versatile solution for various dental issues, providing long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing results.

Reasons for Dental Crowns

• Severe Decay: Large cavities that fillings can’t restore
• Cracked or Broken Teeth: Protect and stabilize damaged teeth
• Worn Down Teeth: Repair teeth affected by grinding (bruxism)
• Post-Root Canal Treatment: Strengthen and seal treated teeth
• Cosmetic Enhancements: Improve shape or color of teeth
• Support for Dental Bridges: Anchor bridges securely in place

The Crown Procedure

1. Preparation: Reshaping the tooth; filling material may be added if needed.
2. Impression: Custom mold taken for a precise crown fit.
3. Temporary Crown: Placed to protect the tooth until the permanent crown is ready.
4. Fitting the Crown: Final crown is adjusted and cemented for a perfect match.

Crown Materials

• Porcelain/Ceramic: Best natural color match, ideal for front teeth
• Metal: Very durable, suitable for molars
• Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal: Combines strength and appearance
• Resin: Budget-friendly but less durable

Care and Maintenance

• Maintain oral hygiene with daily brushing and flossing
• Avoid chewing on hard or sticky foods
• Schedule regular dental check-ups for monitoring
