CROWN

What is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged, weakened, or decayed tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are often used to protect teeth after a root canal, cover large fillings, or improve the look of misshapen or discolored teeth.

 

Types of Dental Crowns:

  • Porcelain or Ceramic Crowns – Blend naturally with your teeth for a seamless look.
  • Metal Crowns (Gold or Alloy) – Extremely durable and ideal for back teeth.
  • Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns – A strong combination of metal and tooth-colored porcelain.
  • Zirconia Crowns – Highly durable and natural-looking.

A dental crown helps restore function, prevent further damage, and improve your smile’s appearance. If you think you may need a crown, schedule a consultation with us at Smile Solutions Dental Group today!
