Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cover placed over a tooth and secured with dental cement. Crowns are generally used to improve the strength or
appearance of the tooth. A dental impression usually takes place in order to fabricate the crown.
Most crowns are made from gold or porcelain, or a combination of porcelain and metal alloy:
- Porcelain crowns are aesthetically more appealing and very natural looking.
- Gold is usually used on the back teeth, is easier to use than porcelain and requires less tooth be drilled away.
Crowns are used to protect broken, worn-down teeth. They are also used to cover dental implants, a dental bridge, or a tooth with a large filling.
Downtown Langford Family Dental offers consultations for patients considering dental crowns. During these consultations, the dentist can assess your specific needs and recommend the most suitable type of crown for your situation. This personalized approach ensures that patients receive the best possible care and results for their dental health and appearance.
