Crowns
A crown is an artificial restoration that fits over the remaining part of a prepared tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape of a natural tooth.
A crown is sometimes known as a ‘cap’. Crowns are an ideal restoration for teeth that have been broken, or have been weakened by decay or a very large filling. They can be made of porcelain or metal or gold or a combination of these materials. A dental crown could be used for a number of other reasons, for instance here are some of them:
- you may have large cavities where a crown is advised to provide stability and strength
- you may have had a root filling which will need a crown to protect it
- You have had dental implants which need to be covered by a crown
Bonded Crowns:
Unlike the traditional porcelain-metal crowns, we offer you very esthetic, natural looking crowns which are made with newer materials using advanced technology in fabricating the crowns. An important benefit of these crowns is it requires less removal of natural enamel thereby leaving the tooth stronger. These crowns are bonded with the teeth using modern cements which is far superior to traditional cementation of crowns.
Crowns for Specific Treatments
POST CROWNS – Sometimes after a root canal treatment is done, the tooth needs a post to provide stability. So the crown needs to be made over this post separately or fused to the post with proper impressions.
DENTAL IMPLANT CROWNS – Once an Implant has been placed an abutment is fitted to hold the Crown. The abutment and the base of the crown may be metal. However, in certain light, this can make the tooth look dull.
An alternative is for the abutment to be made of white material and the Crown made of solid porcelain.
This will give a more natural look to the tooth.
