- Protect a tooth after a root canal treatment.
- Improve the appearance of a discolored or poorly shaped tooth.
- Anchor a dental bridge or cover a dental implant.
What Materials Are Used for Dental Crowns?
Crowns can be made from various materials, each offering unique benefits:
- Porcelain or ceramic crowns for a natural appearance.
- Gold and metal alloys for durability and strength.
- Porcelain fused to metal, combining strength with a natural look.
What Is the Process for Getting a Dental Crown?
The process typically involves:
- Preparing the tooth by removing any decay and shaping it for the crown.
- Taking an impression of the tooth for a custom fit.
- Placing a temporary crown while the permanent one is being made.
- Once ready, the permanent crown is adjusted for fit and comfort, then cemented in place.
