About Dental Crown
A dental crown is a type of dental restoration that covers and encases a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. It's like a "cap" that fits over the entire visible portion of the tooth above the gumline.

Crown Treatment Process
-
Preparation: The tooth receiving the crown is prepared by removing a portion of its outer structure to make room for the crown.
-
Impressions: An impression or digital scan of the prepared tooth and surrounding teeth is taken to create a custom crown that fits perfectly.
-
Temporary Crown: While the permanent crown is being fabricated in a dental laboratory, a temporary crown may be placed over the prepared tooth to protect it.
-
Placement of Permanent Crown: Once the permanent crown is ready, it is placed over the prepared tooth and checked for fit, color, and bite alignment.
-
Bonding: The crown is securely bonded to the tooth using dental cement, ensuring a strong and long-lasting restoration.
-
Final Adjustments: Any final adjustments may be made to ensure the crown fits comfortably and functions properly within your bite.
Why Choose Dental Crown?
-
To Protect Weak Teeth: Crowns are placed over teeth that have been weakened by decay, large fillings, or fractures, providing added strength and preventing further damage.

To Restore Broken or Worn Teeth: Teeth that are significantly worn down, broken, or chipped can be restored with crowns, restoring their shape and function.
-
To Support Dental Bridges: Crowns are used as abutments to support dental bridges, which replace missing teeth by spanning the gap between adjacent teeth.

To Cover Misshapen or Discolored Teeth: Crowns can improve the appearance of misshapen or severely discolored teeth, enhancing the overall esthetic of the smile.
-
To Cover Dental Implants: Crowns are attached to dental implants to replace missing teeth, providing a durable and natural-looking tooth replacement solution.
