Dental crowns, also known as dental caps, are used to cover or encase a damaged or decayed tooth. They are custom-made to fit over the partial or entire visible portion of the tooth above the gumline.
Dental crowns can be made from various materials, including ceramic, metal alloys, or a combination of both. Ceramic crowns are popular because they can be colour-matched to blend with the natural teeth, providing a more aesthetically pleasing result.
