A dental crown is a cap that covers and protects a damaged, broken, or heavily filled tooth. It helps restore the tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance so you can chew and smile confidently again.

When is a Crown Needed?

Crowns are recommended when:

• A tooth is badly decayed or broken

• After root canal treatment to strengthen the tooth

• A large filling has weakened the tooth

• To improve the appearance of a discoloured or misshapen tooth

• To support a dental bridge or cover an implant
  
   

  Types of Crowns Available:

• Porcelain: Looks very natural, great for front teeth.

• Zirconia: Very strong and aesthetic.

• Metal/Gold Alloy: Durable and long-lasting (less visible for back teeth).

• Benefits of Dental Crowns:

  ✅ Restores function for chewing and speaking
  ✅ Protects the remaining tooth structure
  ✅ Looks and feels like a natural tooth
  ✅ Long-lasting with proper care

• Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM): Combines strength and appearance.
