Dental crowns are a great way to improve your smile and protect your teeth. Dental crowns are dental appliances that cover the entire tooth, including the chewing surface of the tooth, as well as other parts of the tooth. They can be made out of porcelain or metal. Porcelain is more aesthetically pleasing than metal because it closely resembles natural teeth in appearance but they both provide similar functions for your mouth.
A dental crown is a cap that covers the tooth and restores it to its normal shape, size, strength, and function. A dental crown can be made of porcelain or gold alloys. Porcelain is usually used for front teeth while gold alloys are used for back teeth. Crowns also help restore chewing surfaces in patients who have lost them due to gum disease or injury. Patients with deep decay may need root canal therapy before they get a crown because of the risk of infection if the decay goes untreated.

The best way to make your dental crown feel more natural
Crown prep is a dental procedure that cleans the tooth’s surface and removes any stains or coatings before you get your new crown.

Dental crowns help protect your tooth from the outside world, but they also need a little extra care to maintain that appearance. The best way to do this is by using dental crowns made of porcelain, which are stronger than resin and more natural-looking than metal. Porcelain has been used for centuries and can be found in everything from jewelry to dishes. In fact, it was actually invented as early as 1743! But what exactly is a dental crown? It’s a white or colored cap that covers one or all of your teeth to prevent them from chipping and breaking. They’re typically made out of durable materials such as porcelain because otherwise, they would just chip away like any other tooth.
