Dental crowns have existed for decades and have undergone an immense transformation thanks to technological advancements.

Dental Crowns

A dental crown, also referred to as a cap, is a pontic tooth used to restore the aesthetics and functions of the natural tooth. The dental crown covers the entire decayed or damaged tooth surface and is made from different materials like metal, porcelain, and ceramic. Dental crowns will not last a lifetime; after some time, they will have to be replaced, especially after undergoing wear and tear.

Types of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns come in different types. The most popular types of dental crowns are:

Resin Crowns

Resin crowns are made from composite resins. It suits individuals who want to restore their beautiful smile and natural appearance.

Metal Crowns

Metal crowns are not very common these days since technological advancement has led to the emergence of better, more comfortable, and reliable crowns. Despite being extremely sturdy and strong, they are very limited in aesthetic appeal. Metal crowns are also made from alloys containing platinum or gold content which makes them expensive.

Ceramic Crowns

Ceramic crowns are the most popular type of dental crowns available. They are well known for their durability and capability of being customized to offer the right aesthetic appeal and strength. Our dentists will decide on the ceramic composition that will best suit the patient’s needs.

Benefits of Ceramic Crowns

The most outstanding benefit of a ceramic crown is its aesthetic appearance since it can imitate the exact quality of the natural tooth. This enables them to blend well with the neighboring teeth. Ceramic crowns are also resistant to frequent wear and tear, making them long-lasting. They also offer great protection for the tooth, making it difficult for bacteria to sneak in and cause infection.

Same Day Crowns

Preparing same day crowns is quite easy and fast. Like natural teeth, they are very comfortable and offer a better bite. Our dentists will identify the right type of dental crown after performing an x-ray to identify where the problem is and the size and shape of the tooth to be restored. A dental crown will be processed, resembling the digital image in a procedure that will not take more than two hours. Dental cement will then be applied to the surface to ensure the dental crown is firmly positioned.
