A dental crown is a custom-made, tooth-shaped cover that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its strength, shape, and natural appearance. Crowns are commonly used to protect a tooth after root canal treatment, repair cracks or severe wear, or enhance the look of a discoloured or misshapen tooth—helping you maintain both function and aesthetics.
Types of Dental Crowns
- Metal Crowns - Made from gold or other high-quality metals, these crowns are incredibly strong and ideal for back teeth where strength is the priority over appearance.
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crown - Designed to combine the durability of metal with the natural appearance of porcelain, making them a versatile option for teeth that require both strength and aesthetics.
- Zirconia Crowns - Known for their exceptional strength and natural translucency, zirconia crowns are suitable for both front and back teeth, offering long-lasting results with a realistic appearance.
- E.max Crowns - A premium option in restorative dentistry, E.max crowns deliver outstanding aesthetics, durability, and biocompatibility, making them perfect for patients seeking the highest-quality restoration.
