steps showing how the dental crown is implanted

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped artificial cover that is placed over the remaining part of a prepared tooth.The crown is sometimes referred to also as a Cap. The Crown functions as a permanent restoration of the shape and size, strength,of the natural tooth and sometimes may also improves its appearance.Crown is fixed permanently onto existing teeth and can be removed only by the dental professional.

The main purpose of the crown is to protect or cap a damaged tooth. Besides offering strength to largely decayed and root canal treated teeth, a crown can also offer an improvement in its appearance, size,shape or alignment.A crown can also be placed over a dental implant to provide a shape and structure that resembles a natural tooth in function like chewing, biting etc.

Our dental dream team is here to serve you!

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap. Dentists use crowns to restore weak, broken or decayed teeth.

A crown fits over your entire tooth, like a snug hat. To ensure a proper fit, a dentist will need to remove a small amount of enamel before bonding your new crown in place.

Dental technicians craft crowns from a variety of materials, including resin, metal and porcelain.

 

Dental technicians use several metals to make dental crowns, including gold, palladium, nickel and chromium. Metal crowns rarely chip or break, last the longest in terms of wear and only require a small amount of enamel removal. They can also withstand biting and chewing forces.

The metallic color is the main drawback of this type of crown. Metal crowns are a good choice for out-of-sight molars

To prepare your tooth for a crown, your dentist will need to remove some of your natural enamel. This makes space for your new crown and ensures that it will stay in place once bonded. Your dentist may also use a filling material to build up certain parts of your tooth. During this step, the main goal is to create a strong foundation for your new crown.

Next, your dentist will take impressions of your teeth. These may be physical impressions taken with a putty-like material or digital impressions taken with a handheld scanner. Your dentist will send these impressions to a dental lab. There, a technician will use them to create your custom dental crown.
