Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover and restore the shape, size, strength, and appearance of a damaged or decayed tooth. These caps are typically made from durable materials like porcelain, metal, or a combination of both, offering a solution for a variety of dental issues, including cracked, weakened, or severely decayed teeth. A dental crown procedure generally involves two visits. During the first visit, the dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any decay or damaged areas, then take impressions of the tooth to create a custom crown. A temporary crown is placed while the permanent one is being fabricated. In the second visit, the permanent crown is cemented in place. Crowns not only enhance the appearance of the tooth but also provide long-lasting protection, ensuring the tooth’s strength and function. They are commonly used for teeth that have undergone root canal therapy, large fillings, or for cosmetic improvements. Dental crowns offer a solution that blends function with aesthetics, providing both a strong and natural-looking result.
