Crowns

|
A crown, also known as a cap, is a tooth-shaped covering that is placed over a tooth that has been badly decayed or damaged.
When Are They Used?
Crowns are generally used when the damage or decay is so extensive that filling materials cannot make the tooth strong enough. In addition, crowns can be used to hold a bridge in place and to cover discolored or misshaped teeth.
What Are Crowns Made From?
In modern-day dentistry there is a wide variety of dental materials to choose from. Some crowns are made from full gold, where as others are made from an alloy of metals fused to a porcelain outer shell. After time, crowns that are made from a combination of metal fused to porcelain can begin to show dark gum lines that are not aesthetically attractive. All-porcelain or all-ceramic crowns are the best choice for a natural cosmetic look.
How Long Do Crowns Last?
Crowns typically last for between 10-15 years.
