What are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are prosthetic treatments applied to improve the aesthetics and function of teeth. Special materials placed on the tooth enhance its appearance and durability.

Types of Crowns:

1. Porcelain Crown: An aesthetic and durable option that matches the natural color of the tooth.
2. Zirconium Crown: A high-durability, light-transmitting, and aesthetic type of crown.
3. Metal-Backed Crown: A sturdy crown with metal on the inside and porcelain on the outside.
4. Composite Crown: A more economical option that matches the color of the tooth.

How is the Crown Procedure Done?

1. The teeth are thinned and prepared for the crown.
2. An impression is taken and custom crowns are made in the laboratory.
3. Temporary crowns are placed until the permanent crowns are ready.
4. The prepared crowns are fixed onto the teeth, and the procedure is completed.

Things to Consider After the Procedure:

• Avoid hard and sticky foods.
• Maintain regular oral hygiene.
• For long-lasting crowns, do not neglect regular dentist check-ups.

Dental crowns are an effective way to achieve a healthy and aesthetic smile. With proper care, they can last for many years.
