What is a Dental Crown?
A crown is also called a cap that completely covers a tooth that is broken down or decayed. There are several reasons to have a crown fitted:
- To restore a damaged tooth
- To provide strength to a weak tooth
- To improve the cosmetic appearance of the teeth
Dental Crown Placement Process
How is a Crown Placed?
The following steps are involved in placing a crown:
- The outer portion of the tooth is prepared to receive the cap.
- An impression is taken to provide a model for the crown.
- The crown is fabricated using the impression and the dentist places it in the mouth and makes the necessary adjustments.
Types of Crowns
The most common materials for teeth caps are:
All-Porcelain/All-Ceramic
Since all-ceramic or all-porcelain crowns are composed of translucent porcelain, they tend to create a more natural look for the tooth.
Zirconia Crowns
Zirconia crowns are exceptionally durable and tough. Teeth restored with zirconia have very aesthetic results because it does not contain any metal element.
Metal Crowns
Metal crowns endure biting and chewing forces well and last longer in terms of wear down. They are less prone to chipping or breaking as compared to ceramic crowns. They are a good choice for molars.
PFM Crowns (porcelain-fused-to-metal)
In PFM crowns, a metal shell is joined to a porcelain surface. Unlike metallic crowns, PFM crowns can be color-matched to the adjacent teeth.
However, at times, the metal can show through as a dark line. These crowns can be a good option for back teeth where the metal is needed for strength.
