What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made prosthesis that encases the underlying tooth structure like a protective cap.
The purpose of a crown is to preserve damaged or weakened teeth by protecting the remaining tooth structure and reinforcing strength, making them an ideal solution for patients with:
- Root canal-treated teeth
- Large fillings
- Cracked or fractured teeth
- Severe tooth wear
- Heavily decayed teeth or weakened tooth structure
A dental crown covers all tooth surfaces, effectively sealing and protecting it from further damage. Crowns are designed to mimic the look, feel, and function of natural teeth, making them a great option for not only functional reasons but also simultaneously allowing for aesthetic improvements.
There are four common materials dentists use to make dental crowns:
- All ceramic crowns (E-max, Feldspathic, Zirconia)
- Full-metal crowns
- Gold crowns
- Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns
All ceramic crowns (tooth-coloured porcelain) are generally the most popular choice in today’s dental landscape and are often recommended by dentists because they are a highly aesthetic restoration, and can be shade-matched to blend seamlessly with the surrounding natural teeth.
Dental crowns are a versatile restoration making them suitable for treatment from as little as a single tooth crowns, aesthetic enhancements, to full mouth restorative dentistry.
At Dental Implants & Aesthetics, we use our in-house dental laboratory –The Lab Southport. Working closely with our technicians, and using the latest CAD-CAM technology, we work meticulously and collaboratively to deliver crown work at an exceptional standard.
