Crowns (Dental Caps)

• Purpose: Crowns are tooth-shaped caps that cover a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. They can also be used for cosmetic purposes to improve the appearance of a tooth.
• Materials: Crowns can be made from various materials including porcelain, ceramic, metal alloys (such as gold or titanium), or a combination of materials.
• Procedure: The process involves preparing the tooth by removing a portion of its outer surface to accommodate the crown. Impressions are then taken to create a custom-made crown that fits snugly over the prepared tooth. The crown is cemented into place, providing long-lasting protection and aesthetic enhancement.
