Crowns
A dental crown is a restorative treatment used to cover and protect a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are commonly made from materials like porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of these, depending on the specific needs of the patient. They are often recommended for teeth that have undergone significant decay, fractures, or root canal therapy. The process typically involves shaping the existing tooth, taking impressions, and placing a custom-made crown that fits securely over the tooth. Crowns not only enhance the aesthetic appearance of the smile but also help improve the tooth’s function and prevent further damage.
