Dental Crowns


Dental crowns, also known as caps, are custom-made restorations that encase the entire visible portion of a tooth. Crowns are used to restore the shape, size, strength, and appearance of a damaged or decayed tooth.

Dentists also use crowns to cover dental implants and teeth that have undergone root canal treatment. Crowns can be made from various materials, including metal, resin, and porcelain. With proper care, they can last between 5 and 15 years.

Benefits

  • Protection: Crowns provide a protective cover for weak or damaged teeth, preventing further decay or damage.
  • Restoration: They restore the functionality and appearance of broken, worn-down, or severely decayed teeth.
  • Durability: Crowns are highly durable and can last many years with proper care.
  • Aesthetics: Custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural look.
