Crowns

Crowns are used to restore tooth/teeth which are fractured, decayed or lost. Crowns are devices which are fixed on to the tooth or implants by using cement and can be removed only by a dentist.

The procedure involves reduction of the involved tooth/teeth. If a large portion of the tooth structure is missing because of trauma or caries. Then a separate restoration is placed to establish an ideal tooth preparation. Then an impression is taken of the prepared area and a temporary crown is placed

Why Is a Dental Crown Needed?

A dental crown may be needed in the following situations:

To protect a root canal treated tooth to prevent it from breaking
To restore a malformed, discoloured or fractured tooth
To cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn't enough tooth structure left
To cover a dental implant

Types of Crowns

Temporary Crown - A Temporary Crown is made up of acrylic, can be used as a temporary restoration until a permanent crown is delivered

Permanent Crowns - Permanent Crowns includes all metal, porcelain-fused-to-metal, and all ceramic

Types of Permanent Crowns

Metal used is a base metal alloy-nickel or chromium. This rarely chip or break and lasts longer. The only drawback is the metallic colour and so is used to restore back teeth.

Metal-ceramic dental crowns can be color matched to your adjacent teeth (unlike the metallic crowns). . These crowns can be a good choice for front or back teeth

All-ceramic dental crowns provide the best natural color match than any other crown type. All-ceramic crowns are a good choice for front teeth.
