A damaged or weakened tooth can affect your ability to chew, speak clearly, and smile with confidence. Tooth crowns offer a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution to restore the function and appearance of compromised teeth. Whether caused by decay, fracture, or wear, crowns reinforce the natural tooth structure and protect it from further damage. At Grand European Clinic, we provide high-quality dental crowns crafted with precision to ensure long-lasting strength and seamless aesthetics.
What Tooth Crowns Are And Why They Matter
A tooth crown, also known as a dental cap, is a custom-made restoration that covers the entire surface of a damaged tooth. It improves shape, size, strength, and overall appearance, making it one of the most versatile treatments in restorative dentistry.
Crowns are commonly used for:
- Severely decayed teeth
- Broken or cracked teeth
- Teeth weakened after root canal therapy
- Worn or eroded enamel
- Large fillings that compromise the tooth structure
- Cosmetic improvement for misshapen or discolored teeth
A crown restores full function while maintaining a natural, lifelike appearance that blends seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.
Types Of Crowns: Materials That Enhance Strength And Beauty
1. Porcelain Crowns
Highly aesthetic and ideal for front teeth due to their natural translucency.
2. Ceramic Crowns
Durable and metal-free, suitable for patients with metal sensitivities.
3. Zirconia Crowns
Extremely strong, long-lasting, and ideal for back teeth, where chewing force is greatest.
4. Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM)
A blend of strength and aesthetics, though less commonly used today.
Your dentist will recommend the best material based on the location of the tooth, aesthetic preference, and required durability.
Step-By-Step Treatment Journey: How A Tooth Crown Is Made
A tooth crown treatment involves precision, planning, and customization. At Grand European Clinic, every step is designed to ensure comfort and accuracy.
1. Examination and Preparation
Your dentist assesses the tooth and removes any decay or weakened areas. A small portion of enamel is reshaped to make space for the crown.
