What are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is used to cover a damaged or decayed tooth or to replace a missing tooth when it is placed on top of a dental implant. Dental implants are titanium anchors that are surgically attached to the jawbone beneath the gums. By the process of Osseointegration, these dental implants become attached to the jaw bone. This process provides strong support to rely on when eating and speaking. It takes around 6 - 12 weeks for a dental implant to heal properly. After that abutment is placed on the dental implant on which a dental crown is mounted.You can have a dental crown when you

How Dental Crowns Work?

A dental crown caps a damaged, weak, or decaying tooth and helps in maintaining its size, strength, shape, and appearance. Dental crowns are made with one or a mixture of various materials. Gold alloy and other alloy are the options that tend to be more durable and cost-effective. But these dental crowns don’t look and feel like natural ones.

On the other hand, porcelain, acrylic and ceramic crowns closely match the natural teeth. Among them, acrylic crowns and ceramic crowns are more durable compared with porcelain crowns as they tend more to chipping and damage. But these porcelain crowns after bonding to a metal shell, strengthen maintaining the natural aesthetic look.
