Achieve a happier and healthier smile with a dental crown
A dental crown, also known as a tooth cap, is a covering that surrounds the entire surface of a tooth, restoring it to its original size and shape. Crowns are used to strengthen and protect teeth that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations. There are various types of crowns available, with porcelain crowns being the most popular choice. These tooth-colored crowns are highly durable and can last for many years, although they may eventually need to be replaced. A porcelain crown can be custom-made to match the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth, providing a long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing smile.

Dental Crowns Materials
A dental crown can be made from a variety of materials, such as:
Metal-bonded Porcelain: This material is commonly used for crowns, with porcelain placed over a metal substrate for improved aesthetics and durability.
Porcelain: For cosmetic purposes, like capping front teeth, porcelain provides a very natural appearance but is not as strong as bonded porcelain.
Ceramic: A strong, versatile, metal-free material that can mimic the look of porcelain.
Glass: For a natural look, glass can be used anywhere in the mouth.
Gold alloy: A traditional material, gold or silver in color, known for its durability.
