Dental Crowns
We offer comprehensive dental crown services to restore and protect damaged, decayed, or weakened teeth. Dental crowns, also known as caps, are versatile restorations that encase the entire visible portion of a tooth above the gumline, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Here’s how our dental crown service can help address your dental needs –
Reasons Behind the Need for Dental Crowns:
- Tooth Decay:
Dental crowns are commonly used to restore teeth that have been significantly damaged or weakened by decay, providing long-term protection and preventing further deterioration.
- Fractured or Broken Teeth:
Teeth that are fractured, cracked, or broken due to trauma or injury can be restored with dental crowns, restoring their integrity and function.
- Large Fillings:
Teeth with large fillings that compromise their structural integrity may benefit from dental crowns to provide added support and prevent fracture.
- Root Canal Treatment:
Teeth that have undergone root canal therapy are often weakened and prone to fracture. Dental crowns are placed over root canal-treated teeth to strengthen and protect them from fracture.
- Cosmetic Enhancement:
Dental crowns can also be used for cosmetic purposes to improve the appearance of teeth with significant discoloration, shape irregularities, or spacing issues.
Materials Used for Dental Crowns:
All-Porcelain (Zirconia and e.max)
All-porcelain crowns, including zirconia and e.max crowns, are highly aesthetic and biocompatible restorations that closely mimic the natural appearance of tooth enamel. These crowns offer exceptional strength, durability, and translucency, making them an ideal choice for restoring front teeth or highly visible areas of the smile.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM)
Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns combine the strength of a metal substructure with the aesthetic benefits of porcelain. While PFM crowns provide excellent durability and aesthetics, they may exhibit a darker line at the gumline over time due to metal exposure.
Metal Crowns
Metal crowns, such as gold or stainless steel crowns, are known for their exceptional strength and longevity. While metal crowns are highly durable and require minimal tooth preparation, they are less aesthetic and may not be suitable for visible areas of the smile.
Biocompatibility of Dental Crowns:
Dental crowns fabricated from high-quality materials, such as porcelain, zirconia, or e.max, are biocompatible and well-tolerated by the body. These materials are inert and non-toxic, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions or adverse tissue responses. Additionally, dental crowns are custom-fitted to each patient’s tooth to ensure optimal comfort and function.
Advantages of Dental Crowns:
- Strength and Durability:
Dental crowns provide long-lasting protection and support for weakened or damaged teeth, allowing for normal chewing and biting function.
- Aesthetic Appeal:
All-porcelain crowns offer exceptional aesthetics, closely resembling the natural color, translucency, and texture of tooth enamel.
- Customization:
Dental crowns are custom-made to match the size, shape, and color of adjacent teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking smile.
Disadvantages of Dental Crowns:
- Cost:
Dental crowns may be more expensive than other restorative options due to their custom fabrication and materials used.
- Tooth Preparation :
To accommodate the crown, a significant portion of the tooth structure must be removed, which may increase the risk of sensitivity or pulp damage.
