Dental crowns, also known as caps, are dental restorations that encase and protect damaged or weakened teeth. These custom-made prosthetic coverings are designed to resemble the natural shape, size, and color of the tooth, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits. Dental crowns are commonly used in cases where a tooth has suffered significant decay, fractures, or undergone root canal treatment. The process of getting a dental crown usually involves multiple visits to the dentist. During the initial visit, the tooth is prepared by removing any decay or damaged portions, and an impression is taken to create a precise mold for the crown. This mold is sent to a dental laboratory, where skilled technicians fabricate the crown to match the patient's specific needs and desired outcome. In the meantime, a temporary crown may be placed to protect the prepared tooth. During the final visit, the temporary crown is removed, and the permanent crown is carefully fitted, adjusted, and permanently cemented onto the tooth. Dental crowns provide several advantages, including the restoration of the tooth's shape, strength, and function. They also improve the appearance of the tooth, enhancing the overall aesthetics of the smile. With proper care and maintenance, dental crowns can last for many years, allowing patients to enjoy a natural-looking smile and improved oral health.
