What are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are prosthetic devices that cover or cap damaged, decayed, or aesthetically compromised teeth. They are designed to restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance, providing both functional and cosmetic benefits.

- Strengths: Combines strength of metal with natural appearance of porcelain.
- Suitability: Versatile for both front and back teeth.
- All-Ceramic or All-Porcelain Crowns:
- Composition: Made entirely from ceramic or porcelain materials.
- Strengths: Best aesthetic results, natural translucency, and biocompatibility.
- Suitability: Ideal for front teeth and patients with metal allergies.
- Metal Crowns (Gold or Alloy):
- Composition: Made from various metal alloys (gold, palladium, etc.).
- Strengths: Exceptionally durable and suitable for heavy bite forces.
- Suitability: Typically used for back teeth; may not be as aesthetic as ceramic options.
- Composite Resin Crowns:
- Composition: Dental resin material.
- Strengths: Cost-effective and can be color-matched to natural teeth.
- Suitability: Often used as temporary crowns or for budget-conscious patients.

- Preparation of the Tooth:
- Local anesthesia is administered.
- The tooth is reshaped by removing a portion of its outer layer to make room for the crown.
- Impressions:
- Detailed impressions of the prepared tooth are taken to ensure the crown fits accurately.
- Temporary Crown:
- A temporary crown may be placed while the permanent crown is being fabricated in a dental laboratory.
- Placement of Permanent Crown:
- The permanent crown is placed, adjusted for fit and bite, and cemented into place.
Care and Maintenance
- Brushing and Flossing: Regular oral hygiene practices to prevent plaque buildup around the crown.
- Avoiding Hard Foods: Minimize chewing on hard objects to prevent damage.
- Regular Dental Check-ups: Ensure the crown and underlying tooth structure remain healthy.
Cost Considerations
