What are dental crowns?

Dental crowns, also known as tooth caps, are custom-made covers that encase a damaged or weakened tooth. Crafted from high-quality materials such as porcelain, ceramic, metal alloys, or a combination of these, dental crowns serve as a protective shield, restoring the natural appearance and strength of your teeth.

Types of dental crowns

• Porcelain crowns – Ideal for front teeth, porcelain crowns mimic the translucency and colour of natural teeth, providing a seamless blend with your smile.
• Metal crowns – Known for their durability, metal crowns, often made of alloys like gold or silver, are robust and withstand heavy chewing forces. They are suitable for molars.
• Metal-ceramic crowns – These are hybrid crowns where the structure is made from metal alloy, but the substructure is coated with porcelain to improve the aesthetic. Usually, more teeth need to be removed to fit metal-ceramic crowns than metal ones.
• All-ceramic crowns – These crowns are entirely made of ceramic materials, providing a metal-free option with excellent aesthetics, making them a popular choice for visible front teeth.
