WHAT IS A DENTAL CROWN?

Dental Crowns can be made from various materials, which include porcelain, Zirconia based porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal, and full cast metal. Based on numerous factors including aesthetics, position within the mouth, habits such as grinding, and your personal preference, a full assessment will be needed to determine which material is appropriate for you.​

 

TYPES OF DENTAL CROWNS

Dental Crowns can be made from various materials, which include porcelain, Zirconia based porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal, and full cast metal.

WHY YOU MIGHT REQUIRE DENTAL CROWNS?

Some of the indications for requiring a Dental Crown are:

​

• A previously filled tooth where there now exists more filling than tooth. The existing tooth structure becomes weakened and can no longer support the filling.

• Extensive damage by decay or breakage.

• Discolorations and compromised aesthetics.

• Fractures

• After Root Canal Therapy, teeth tend to become brittle and are more susceptible to fracture.  These teeth need to be protected and strengthened by a crown.

• When missing teeth are replaced with a dental bridge,  the adjacent teeth require crowns in order to support the replacement teeth. Crowns strengthen and protect the remaining tooth structure and can improve the appearance of your teeth.
