A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap which is placed over a tooth to cover it & to restore its shape and size, strength, and improve its appearance. When the crown is cemented into place it fully covers the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line. It’s used to protect a weak tooth from breaking or to hold together parts of a cracked tooth, to restore broken tooth or a severely worn down tooth, to cover and support a tooth with a large filling, to hold a dental bridge in place, to cover misshaped or severely discoloured teeth, to cover a dental implant & to make a cosmetic modification. Various options of crowns are Stainless steel/metal crowns, porcelain-fused-to-metal dental crowns, All-resin dental crowns, all-ceramic or all-porcelain dental crowns & Zirconia or milled crown.
