What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom made cap that covers a damaged or decayed tooth. It is designed to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, metal, or a combination of both, allowing for a natural look and feel.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
Restoration of Function: Crowns help restore the normal function of your teeth, allowing you to chew and speak comfortably.
Enhanced Aesthetics: Porcelain crowns can be color-matched to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Protection: They provide a protective covering for weak or damaged teeth, preventing further deterioration.
Longevity: With proper care, dental crowns can last many years, making them a durable solution for tooth restoration.
