What is a dental crown?

Dental crowns are used to cover damage to a tooth. Your tooth
practically wears the crown. The crown is tooth-shaped and custom-made
to fit the size of your tooth.

A crown does not hide a dental problem, it hides the damage caused.
If your tooth has broken because of decay, you will first get treatment
for tooth decay and the crown will hide the breakage.

A dental crown can be used in these situations

  • To protect a weakened tooth after severe decay or cavity

  • To cover an implant

  • To replace a large filling

  • To restore a natural tooth that is cracked or broken

  • To protect a tooth after a root canal

  • To align your bite

  • For cosmetic purposes

Types of dental crowns

The most common types of dental crowns include;

Metal crowns

Such as the popular gold crowns. They are the most durable but also
very expensive.

Stainless steel crowns

These are temporary crowns and are common in children who need
protection for their baby teeth.

Resin crowns

Resin crowns are affordable but not very durable as they are
susceptible to fractures.

Porcelain crowns

These are probably the most common nowadays because they look more
like natural teeth.

Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns

These are made from a combination of porcelain and metal.

Pressed ceramic crowns

These are similar to porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns but made
of ceramic in place of metal.

Care for dental crowns

  • Brush normally but gently.

  • Floss daily to avoid plaque between teeth.

  • Avoid hard foods.
