Introduction:
Dental crowns are custom-made caps placed over damaged or weakened teeth. They restore strength, function, and appearance while protecting the tooth underneath.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A crown covers the visible part of a tooth, made from materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal, designed to look and function like a natural tooth.
When Do You Need One?
You may need a crown if your tooth is cracked, severely decayed, worn down, or has undergone a root canal. Crowns are also used to support dental bridges or cover implants.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
They protect weakened teeth, restore chewing ability, improve bite balance, and enhance smile aesthetics.
Conclusion:
Dental crowns are more than just repairs—they restore both function and beauty. If you have a damaged tooth, your dentist may recommend a crown to save and strengthen it.
