Crowns or "caps" are tooth restorations that are customized, bio-compatible attachments that mount right overtop of a tooth or teeth. Sometimes, crowns could be needed to cover up damaged fillings, chipped, fractured, or sensitive teeth. Crowns can also be applied cosmetically to improve the appearance of stained, malpositioned, or malformed teeth.
Crowns are usually designed from durable porcelain materials and are specifically designed to blend organically to your previously existing teeth, therefore enhancing your overall smile. There are times when a cap would be fitting, like when a client has a huge filling that is larger than the actual remaining tooth. In this situation, the framework of the tooth could be too feeble to hold up the big filling. Other worries that might precipitate a dental cap could involve: widespread damage triggered by staining, fissures, tooth corrosion, or compromised aesthetics. Additionally, following a root canal, teeth might become more frail and more liable to shatter or fracture. A crown may be utilized to protect the tooth. Additionally, missing teeth could be replaced with a tooth bridge, with the nearby teeth being used as scaffolding for the replacement tooth.
In addition to delivering the required strength and protection, crowns can also enhance the aesthetic appeal of your teeth.
