Dental Crowns
Crowns serve as a cosmetic restoration method aimed at reinforcing and reshaping damaged or worn teeth, often resulting from decay. This dental procedure involves securely affixing a crown to the existing tooth, covering the portion above the gum line and becoming the new outer surface.
Crafted from materials like porcelain, metal, or a combination of both, crowns offer diverse options. Porcelain crowns are particularly popular due to their ability to closely mimic the color and translucency of natural teeth while ensuring durability.
When a tooth lacks the strength for a filling, crowns or onlays (partial crowns) become essential. Unlike fillings applied directly in the mouth, crowns are fabricated outside. Skilled dental technicians create a custom crown in a laboratory, using an impression of your unique tooth to analyze your bite and jaw movements. This meticulous process ensures that the crown, once placed, aligns with your natural bite and functions seamlessly.
