A crown is a
type of dental restoration that completely caps a tooth. Crowns may be needed when teeth are broken,
fractured or chipped. Sometimes, crowns restore teeth with broken and large
fillings, tooth decay or after root canal treatment. Crowns help to restore
your smile back to a healthy place.
Crowns are typically bonded to the tooth using
dental cement. Crowns can be made from different materials; metal, porcelain
fused to metal, all resin, or all ceramic. Crowns are often used to improve the
strength or appearance of teeth.
Different types of crowns have their unique
benefits. Metal crowns have high strength and toughness that resist fracture
and wear. They provide a good seal against leakages but they are unaesthetic
and do not look natural. Porcelain and
resin crowns are esthetic and they mimic natural teeth, but they are not as
strong and durable.
