Dental Crown

A dental crown is a protective cap placed over a damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are commonly used after root canal treatments, large fillings, or fractures. They can be made from materials such as porcelain, metal, or zirconia depending on the patient’s needs. The procedure typically involves two visits – one for tooth preparation and one for crown placement. Crowns help restore full chewing function and protect the underlying tooth from further damage. They also enhance the appearance of discoloured or misshaped teeth. With proper care, dental crowns can last for many years. They are an essential part of restorative and cosmetic dentistry.
