Dental Crowns are used when treating a tooth that has already had a substantial filling or may even be broken. The crown is matched to the same colour as the patients existing tooth and placed over it like a cap. The newer porcelain or ceramic crowns often give a more realistic and natural result by allowing light to transfer through the crown (translucency).
Dental crowns are prosthetic devices designed to cover and protect a damaged or weakened tooth. They restore the tooth’s shape, size, and strength while improving its appearance. Crowns are typically made from materials such as porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination, and are custom-crafted to fit securely over the existing tooth. They are commonly used after a root canal, to support a large filling, or to enhance the aesthetics of a tooth.

Step 3: Second Appointment
Once your new crown is ready and returned from the lab, you’ll visit your dentist for a second appointment. During this visit, your dentist will:
