Crowns
Whether due to time, natural wear and tear, or medical conditions like decay or injury, teeth can become damaged and even lose shape or size. For such kinds of situations, there is the option of dental crowns. Crowns are tooth-shaped "caps" placed over the tooth's base to be repaired. We can say that it is like a tiny hat adjusted to your tooth.
The dental crown is cemented onto the tooth, covers the visible part of the tooth, and is used to protect, cover, and restore the shape of the tooth when fillings do not solve the problem. Dental crowns can be made of metal, porcelain, resin, or ceramic. They usually do not require special care over time, apart from good oral hygiene.
Benefits
A dental crown can be used to improve your oral health, and additionally cover a number of cosmetic flaws in your tooth. The main benefits are:
-
Restore dental implants
-
Restore cracked or fractured teeth.
-
Hold cracked or damaged teeth together
-
Replace large or worn out fillings
-
Improve the esthetics of your teeth, resolving discoloration or slight alignment problems
-
Reshape your teeth
-
Protect your teeth after root canal treatment
-
Another advantage is that crowns are durable and strong, so they last a long time. Most people can go 5 to 15 years before needing more work.
There are 4 types of dental crowns, which are differentiated by the material they are made of.
​
Porcelain: They are tooth-colored and therefore provide a more natural look and are also one of the most expensive. They are recommended for use in front teeth.
​
Zirconia: A type of ceramic that tends to be stronger than other ceramics, lasts longer and causes less wear on the surrounding tooth enamel. It is recommended for use in molar areas because of its strength.
​
Metal: It will depend on the alloy used. Alloys containing gold cost more than base metals. They are also very strong crowns, so they are used in molar areas.
​
Porcelain fused to metal: These are primarily intended to be a strong but natural looking crown. They can be placed in any area of the mouth.
