A dental crown is a cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth, fully covering it. Crowns protect the tooth, enhance chewing function, and restore its aesthetic appearance.

• For broken or cracked teeth
• For weakened or severely worn teeth
• For teeth that have undergone root canal treatment
• When large fillings are insufficient
• To cover dental implants
• In aesthetic smile design

1. Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns: Durable and preferred for back teeth.
2. All-ceramic crowns: Provide the most natural appearance aesthetically.
3. Zirconia crowns: Both strong and natural-looking due to translucency.
4. Gold crowns: Known for durability, rarely preferred.
5. Resin crowns: More affordable but not long-lasting.

Dental Crown Procedure

Examination and planning: The condition of the tooth is assessed, and the appropriate crown type is selected.

Preparation: The tooth is reshaped to fit the crown.

Impression taking: A digital scan or traditional impression is taken to create a mold of the tooth.

Temporary crown: A temporary cap is placed until the permanent crown is ready.

Crown placement: The final crown is cemented onto the tooth with a special adhesive.

The process is typically completed in 2–3 sessions. With CAD/CAM technology, same-day crown placement is also possible.
