What is a Dental Crown?
On occasion, patients may experience issues with their teeth becoming damaged, decayed, or even less aesthetically pleasing than the surrounding teeth. In these cases, dental crowns can be an excellent solution to restore the surface of your teeth back to a naturally beautiful and healthy shine.
How Crowns Protect and Cover Your Natural Tooth
When dentists examine the ‘crowns’ of your teeth, they are referring to the surface of your tooth that shows over the gum-line. When this area is damaged, a dental crown is a covering that sits directly on top of the tooth to help protect the remaining tooth structure and improve oral hygiene. Crowns are typically shaded to the color of your existing teeth but can be constructed using a variety of materials such as metal, resin, porcelain, or ceramic.
Dentists recommend placing a dental crown when a patient’s tooth is damaged by cracking, decay, or significant fractures. Crowns can also be used to improve the look of unsightly teeth or protect weak areas on the surface of the teeth.
