What
is dental crown?
A dental crown is a prosthetic device which
is cemented to your tooth. As it is
sturdy and tough, it can only be removed by your dentist. You may need it to protect your tooth,
restore a decaying tooth, and even cover your tooth or dental implant.

Types
of dental crowns
Porcelain
crowns. Ceramic or
porcelain crowns are easy on the eyes as they match the color of your natural
tooth. Be wary however as the ceramic
may chip and even break.
Stainless
steel crowns. Stainless
steel crowns are most often used for pediatrics dentistry. This type of
crown will jut out naturally when your kid’s baby tooth is coming out.
Metal
crowns. Other materials used for crowns are
gold and metal alloys. Metal alloys are most commonly recommended for the back
teeth as they are more robust than porcelain crowns.
Porcelain
fused metal crowns. This type of crown is suggested
for both back and front teeth. Just like the porcelain crown, it can
also be matched to the natural color of your teeth.
