Picture this scenario, you are sitting down eating one of your favourite meals and suddenly you are holding half of one of your teeth in your hand. Because of damage and decay or maybe it was weakened by a fracture or a large filling, the tooth is now in an apparent need of repair. You visit your dentist and he/she may suggest a crown, an artificial substitute of the upper portion of the tooth. This crown is placed in order to restore the chewing, to prevent the broken looks of a damaged one. Crowns are made from various different types of materials, and based on location, position, aesthetics, and cost, the right one can be selected to repair your damaged tooth.
Dental Crown
The portion of the tooth covered by enamel is called a Crown. Crowns are also a type of restoration that covers all or most of a decayed or damaged tooth.
Crowns are used when a tooth cannot be restored by a filling. Restorative crowns are typically made of gold, porcelain or a combination with a bridge as a retainer when you have adjacent tooth missing.
A crown can also be built up on an existing root by placing a post inside the root. Such roots may also need a small surgical procedure called crown lengthening procedure. The latter is used to increase the telescopic-overlap-fit of the crown on top of a root stump.
Lastly, a crown may be needed just to support a cracked tooth.
