Types of Dental Crowns

• Porcelain Crowns: Known for their natural appearance, porcelain crowns are an excellent choice for front teeth. They can be colour-matched to your natural teeth, providing an aesthetically pleasing result.
• Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns: These crowns combine the strength of metal with the aesthetic appeal of porcelain. They are durable and can be used for both front and back teeth.
• Gold Crowns: Made from gold or a gold alloy, these crowns are highly durable and resistant to wear. They are typically used for molars due to their strength and longevity.
• Zirconia Crowns: Zirconia crowns are incredibly strong and can be colour-matched to natural teeth. They offer a good balance of durability and aesthetics.
• E-max Crowns: Made from lithium disilicate, they are known for their superior strength and natural appearance. They are an excellent choice for both anterior and posterior teeth.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns offer numerous benefits that enhance both oral health and overall well-being:

• Restoration of Function: Crowns restore the function of damaged teeth, allowing you to chew and speak effectively.
• Protection: Crowns protect weakened teeth from further damage or decay, preventing the need for more extensive dental treatments in the future.
• Aesthetic Improvement: Crowns improve the appearance of teeth by covering discolouration, stains, or irregular shapes, resulting in a more attractive smile.
• Durability: Crowns are made from durable materials that can withstand the forces of chewing and last for many years with proper care.
• Comfort: Custom-made to fit your mouth, crowns provide a comfortable and secure fit, enhancing oral comfort.
• Support for Dental Bridges: Crowns can anchor dental bridges, providing support and stability for the replacement teeth.
