Crowns

Dental crowns are commonly referred to as ‘dental caps’ as they cover the entire surface of a tooth. They are widely
used as a restorative appliance to treat teeth that are either cracked, chipped, severely worn, badly discolored or
weak due to external trauma or lack of nourishment.

What are the advantages of getting a crown?

• Crowns are made from tooth-colored ceramic material. They can be customized in such a way that they
  would perfectly mimic the appearance of the natural teeth in terms of color, texture, translucency, and
  contour.
• The material used to fabricate the crown is of dental-grade. It is highly durable, stain-resistant, and won’t
  break easily.
• Crowns can be used for a variety of purposes such as treating minor to deep cracks, reshaping chipped
  teeth, reducing the space between excessively spaced teeth, lengthening the crown of severely worn out
  teeth, etc.
• They are quite long-lasting. With proper care, they would easily last for several years.
• Since crowns are bonded on to the existing teeth, they allow us to save the natural tissues of the mouth
  as much as possible.
• Whenever a tooth is too weak to withstand the stresses while biting and chewing food, it may crumble. This
  is often encountered when a tooth has undergone root canal therapy. Crowns can help to hold the teeth
  intact and prevent their failure.
