What Is A Dental Crown?
So what is a dental crown? It's a cap, or cover, that dentists put over a tooth. Dental crowns restore the tooth in question to its normal size, shape, and function. Crowns can even make your teeth stronger and improve the way they look.
There are a few reasons you might want to get yourself a crown: cavities that are too large for fillings, teeth that are cracked or worn down, after having root canal treatment done, or to cover a badly shaped or discolored tooth and improve your smile.
Dental crowns can be made from ceramics, metal alloys, porcelain, porcelain that's been fused to metal, or composite resin. Whatever the material, it will likely be colored so that it blends in with the natural color of your teeth.
