Dental crowns are custom-made caps that are placed over a tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. They are commonly used after root canal treatment, to protect a weakened or cracked tooth, or to support a tooth with a large filling. Crowns can also be used to cover misshaped or discolored teeth and are often an integral part of cosmetic dental treatments.
The process of placing a dental crown typically involves two steps. First, the tooth is shaped and prepared to accommodate the crown. Then, a digital or physical impression is taken and sent to a dental lab, where the crown is crafted from ceramic, porcelain-fused-to-metal, or other durable materials. A temporary crown may be placed during this time. Once ready, the permanent crown is cemented onto the prepared tooth, restoring full function and aesthetics.
At Baby Memorial Hospital, our dental specialists ensure each crown fits perfectly and matches the color and contour of your natural teeth. With high-quality materials and modern techniques, we provide crowns that not only last long but also look and feel like your natural teeth, supporting both oral function and smile confidence.
