What are Dental Crowns?
Understanding Dental Crowns
Dental crowns, also known as tooth caps, are custom-made restorations designed to cover and protect damaged teeth. They are typically used to restore teeth that are cracked, broken, severely decayed, or have undergone root canal therapy. Crowns can also be used to improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth.
Types of Dental Crowns Available
At Ken Taylor DDS, we offer various types of dental crowns, including:
- Porcelain Crowns: Known for their natural appearance and durability, porcelain crowns are ideal for front teeth.
- Ceramic Crowns: These offer excellent aesthetics and are suitable for patients with metal allergies.
- Metal Crowns: Made from gold or other alloys, metal crowns are highly durable and often used for molars.
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns: These combine the strength of metal with the natural look of porcelain.
