What is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown, often referred to as a "cap," is a type of dental restoration that completely covers a tooth or dental implant. Crowns are used to restore the shape, size, strength, and appearance of a tooth.

Purpose of Dental Crowns

• Protection: Shields a weak tooth from breaking or holds together parts of a cracked tooth.

• Restoration: Restores a tooth that has been severely worn down or has a large filling.

• Support: Supports a tooth with a large filling when there isn’t enough tooth structure remaining.

• Cosmetic Improvement: Improves the appearance of a tooth that is discolored or misshapen.

• Replacement: Used in conjunction with dental implants to replace missing teeth.

Care for Dental Crowns

• Oral Hygiene: Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly.

• Regular Check-ups: Visit the dentist for regular check-ups and cleanings.

• Avoid Hard Foods: Be cautious with hard foods to avoid damaging the crown.

Conclusion

Dental crowns are an essential tool in restorative dentistry, providing protection and aesthetic improvement to damaged teeth. If you think you may need a crown, consult your dentist for personalized advice
