WHAT ARE CROWNS BEST USED FOR?

Crowns are the ideal choice for providing protection to teeth that have undergone significant restoration and repair. They are best used for any tooth that has been chipped, cracked, or repaired. Root canal treatments are a great way to preserve a natural tooth, but they may result in significant loss of the tooth structure. Placing a tooth cap over the repaired tooth will offer protection and restore functionality.

A front tooth crown will offer a wholly natural look. Whether it’s used to cover a crooked or miss

hapen tooth or to disguise a chipped tooth.

WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF CROWNS AVAILABLE?

There are several types of dental crowns available. When you are getting a crown on a tooth, the type of crown that you get will be based upon the location of the crown and the individual needs of each patient.

The most commonly used crown is the porcelain fused to metal crown. These are often fitted onto molars, as they are a strong crown that can withstand the chewing force that’s placed on molars.

The crown consists of a metal base which is then fused to porcelain. This gives it that natural look that patients are after, while still offering the strength that patients need.

There are metal free options available such as zirconia and Emax crowns.

They are mainly used to repair front teeth, but zirconia is also a strong alternative to porcelain fused to metal crowns to restore molar teeth.
