What is a Crown?
\n\nA crown, also known as cap, is a dental restoration which covers and fits over the tooth and restores it to its normal shape and size. A crown can make your tooth stronger and also improve its appearance.
\n\tthere are a few types of crowns: porcelain, porcelain fused to metal and all- metal.
\n\t
\n\tWhen is a crown needed?
\n\nA tooth is severely decayed and the remaining tooth structure is weak
\n\tAfter a tooth had root canal therapy
\n\tA previously restored tooth which had a large filling already and need to be replaced
\n\tFractures
\n\tThe tooth is used as support for a bridge
\n\tThe above are only some of the common indications for crowns
\n\t\n\n
What does it involve?
\n\nIt usually takes at least two visits to complete a crown.
\n\tAt the first appointment, the tooth is prepared to receive the crown. An impression is taken and sent to a dental laboratory where a dental technician will custom made the crown to the shape and colour it needs. A temporary crown is fitted at the end of the session.
\n\tAt the second appointment, the temporary crown is removed and the final crown is adjusted and cemented onto the tooth.
