What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” used for restorative and cosmetic purposes. It covers the entire visible part of a tooth to strengthen, protect, and improve appearance by hiding cracks and breakages.
Why would you need a crown?
You may need a crown to:
- Hide a crack and prevent it from spreading
- Strengthen a weak or heavily filled tooth
- Restore a broken tooth or worn biting surface
- Hold a dental bridge in place
- Cover a severely stained/discolored tooth
- Protect a tooth after a root canal (especially molars)
- Top a dental implant as the final restoration
Types of dental crowns
Your dentist will recommend the best material based on tooth location, bite forces, and esthetics.
Porcelain (all-ceramic)
- Most natural look; great for front teeth
- Color matched to neighboring teeth
Zirconia
- Extra strong and chip-resistant; ideal for back teeth
- Newer zirconias look very natural
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM)
- Combines strength with good esthetics
- Durable classic option
Metal (gold or noble alloys)
- Extremely long-lasting and gentle on opposing teeth
- Best for out-of-sight molars
Resin
- Lower cost; less durable than other options
- Works as a budget or interim solution
