What is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a dental prosthetic that is used to cover a damaged tooth. The dental crown is cemented into place and covers the entire visible surface of the tooth. It is usually made out of porcelain or ceramic, but can also be made out of metal. Dental crowns are used to restore the function and appearance of a damaged tooth. In some cases, a dental crown can also be used to prevent a tooth from breaking.

Types of Crowns

There are a few different types of dental crowns available. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages. Our Sincere professionals evaluate your needs and recommend the most appropriate option for you. The most common type of dental crown is the porcelain crown. Porcelain crowns are very strong and durable, and they can be made to match the color of your natural teeth. Another popular option is the zirconia crown. Zirconia crowns are also very strong and durable, but they are not as realistic-looking as porcelain crowns. Metal crowns are another option, but they are not as popular because they can be noticeable when you smile. But they are the most durable and can used for back molars.
