What is a Crown?
Dental prosthetic technology provides patients with life-like teeth replacements with the help of cap-shaped restorations known as dental crowns. A dental crown helps protect and shield your damaged tooth from further injury. It covers the entire surface of the tooth to ensure maximum protection.
Dental crowns differ based on the type of material used to make them.
Crowns can be used to repair broken or fractured teeth, improve the appearance, shape, and alignment of the damaged teeth by covering its entire visible surface. They also help resolve unnecessary gap issues and seldom cause any discomfort at all. Crowns improve bite problems caused by misaligned teeth and help improve overall aesthetics.
To ensure that you only get the best from our prosthetic restorations, it is vital for patients to practice daily oral hygiene and make regular visits to the dental office. Taking care of your crowns is simpler than you think.
Visit your dentist or hygienist regularly for dental follow-ups. It is also an added advantage to attend professional cleanings once in 6 months.
