A dental crown, also known as a tooth cap, is a prosthetic restoration that covers and encases a damaged or weakened tooth. Made from various materials such as porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination, crowns are custom-designed to match the shape, size, and colour of the natural tooth. They are cemented onto the prepared tooth, providing strength, protection, and aesthetic improvement.
Crowns can restore the function, appearance, and structural integrity of a tooth affected by:
- Decay
- Fracture
- Large fillings
- Other dental issues
