What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are prosthetic restorations that are used to restore damaged teeth to their original size and shape. The process of restoring a tooth using a dental crown is a simple but important one that involves permanently cementing a crown to your tooth.
When fixed to your tooth, the crown encases the damaged portion that is visible above your gum line. Although crowns are essentially used as a replacement for the outer part, or crown, of your natural tooth (hence the name), they sometimes extend all the way down to the root surface.
Crowns can be made from a variety of materials, such as ceramics, gold, resin, or porcelain-and-metal mix and each is custom-made to be a perfect fit. They are also ideal for protecting teeth that have cracked, decayed extensively, or have been otherwise damaged. They help to prevent further damage and can even replace a structure that can no longer work on its own.
