Dental crowns, sometimes called caps, are used to cover and restore a tooth. A dental crown is a replacement tooth or ‘restoration’ which is designed to repair a cracked, worn down or broken tooth. When a tooth has broken or when a tooth has too much decay for a simple filling, a dental crown may be needed.
There are different materials you can choose from for your dental crowns.
- Metal Dental Crown – These could include gold alloy and other base metal alloys.
- Porcelain fused to Metal Dental Crown – These have most of the structural strength of a metal dental crown but the porcelain aspect of them makes sure that they look like a normal tooth.
- All Porcelain Dental Crown – These are the best looking crowns, look like real teeth.
